" V. I; d1 P+ Z3 z4 W( O3 EM: Cheesy means tacky or dumb. It's usually used to describe a TV show, movie, or something someone says.
- s- _- M, W2 Q; c( V3 J1 b/ h, d$ f
( r8 {2 f, u& d  g" u, TL: 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。

8 ^3 v5 D# i. U1 q4 y# o
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。

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。
