3 Z/ p2 d3 H  _: W; h1 iM: Are you okay, Li Hua? What's wrong? Why are you crying?

. b, `2 }" P7 U; K; ]5 mL: 我没事。这个电视剧让人挺伤心的。我一看这种电视剧就会哭，真是 没办法。

7 Z+ v$ ?3 V: k# Y8 [; w8 oM: You are such a nerd.

L: 你叫我什么？A nerd? 我知道那不是什么好话，可是nerd到底是什 么意思呢？

4 o* o) q  j  R8 s- l/ e" Q% RM: If you call someone a nerd, it means you think he is weird and not cool. It can be used in many different situations.

! f: W3 J4 N2 @& s; {6 KL: 噢，nerd是指那种跟一般人不一样，有点怪的人。Nerd可以用在 许多不同场合。那象你今天穿了这套衣服，怪怪的，我就可以 说：You're a nerd。 对不对？

. M* V. |& P- YM: As a matter of fact, when I was growing up, a lot of kids called me a nerd because I didn't fit in.

L: 你小的时候不合群，所以许多人都叫你nerd。我看你现在很合 群嘛。看不出你小时候是个nerd。你到底是怎么个不合群呢？

3 m/ V: Z, U# k5 o" wM: Well, as you know I was never very good at sports, and I never knew how to fit in with the cool kids.

6 Z/ C2 K# b0 Y1 nL: 对，你好象告诉过我你从小就不太喜欢体育，跟那些很受欢迎的 同学也合不到一起。所以，你就成了一个nerd。
8 n6 E! v) B- @' d; i( y
M: A typical nerd is someone who wears glasses and carries a lot of books.
# O8 q* x: q3 }9 @1 z9 E, Q2 a2 Z
# H" f: G3 \2 l# @. \: V5 z8 \L: 噢，那就是书呆子的形象，戴着眼镜，拿着许多书。

M: That's right. If someone is always studying, or seems to know the answers to everything, you can call him a nerd.
2 t8 x; Q  Z4 G2 y
L: 老念书，什么都知道的人，那不就是书呆子吗？Michael，我看你 有的时候穿衣服有点怪，也许人家会叫你nerd，可是你绝对不会 成为书呆子。

M: I guess so! Li Hua, That TV show is so cheesy. I don't know why it's so popular.
" u! V% ^4 G1 a
" z0 h+ @  X) G  K/ x3 k, a! t" O2 LL: 这个电视剧好多人都喜欢，包括我在内 。可你又在说什么批评的 话， 我不知道cheesy是什么意思，但是我知道你在说它不好。

- @8 t; y4 ?1 m" fM: Cheesy means tacky or dumb. It's usually used to describe a TV show, movie, or something someone says.

L: 噢，cheesy就是很俗气，质量很次，很愚蠢。人们经常用cheesy 这个词来形容电视节目，电影或者某个人说的话。

M: I think the new TV soap opera on Channel 6 is so cheesy. It is fake and the things they say on the shows are so weird. I don't know why these shows are so popular.

L: 对，我也看了六频道那个新的电视连续剧。情节是很虚假，对话 也很怪。可是你想知道为什么那么多人喜欢看吗？我来告诉你。看这 种电视剧总想知道结局嘛。我有的时候还会流泪的呢。

$ S6 h9 X4 p( h) x7 j/ tM: How can those cheesy TV shows make you cry? You're such a nerd.
6 j. u: m5 s7 }8 W8 C- U9 z
L: 什么？ 你说我是个nerd?
- Y5 I# d! v* A7 r1 H4 T! v
M: Don't be mad, Li Hua. But you are a nerd. No one cries while watching these cheesy TV shows！
  G* T( {, a6 f, d4 T! V
L: 我才不信呢。你们这些不流眼泪的人缺乏感情，你们才是nerd。 我不 跟你说了，我要回去了。
* }3 Z' r* C+ U$ H9 t0 d
M: No, no, Li Hua. Wait, at least you have to finish watching this cheesy TV show so that you know who's going to marry whom.
! J: a6 \: v* k6 D
8 D$ J! ^7 n, X; M/ [0 {L: 对了，不看完这个电视剧，不知道结局，我也睡不着。那就看 吧！

看来今天李华真是生气了，因为Michael说她是个nerd, 也就是说她这个人有点怪。后来她同意继续在Michael 家看完那个很cheesy的电视节目。Cheesy 就是很俗气， 没有水平的意思。这次[流行美语]就学习到这里。我们下次再见。
