Xbfeng

昨天晚上Michael 和一个老同学一起出去玩，两个人都喝得酩酊大醉。现在李华来找他一起去看一个新的艺术展览。李华会学到两个常用语：wasted和 to get a kick out of something。

( A( A5 S' W' G9 k: O- ML: 噢，你们到酒吧去了。你说的wasted意思是喝酒喝得酩酊大醉，不是指浪费。

M: I know. My best friend from high school came to visit, and we usually get wasted when we meet.

1 k0 ~( g  ]6 [; `8 s3 hL: 中学时的好朋友来看你，一高兴就喝多了，这我可以理解。在中国，老同学见面的时候，我们总是会开个party，往往喝好多酒，可是我们不见得会醉到象你这种程度。

# F/ c$ N6 `; ]6 v- b9 d& KM: Ugh. It always seems like a lot of fun when I get completely wasted, but the next day, I regret it.

L: 是啊，喝得大醉的时候觉得很好玩，到第二天你就后悔了。得了，你得换换衣服，吃点东西。我们得早点去，否则人会太多了。

M: Eat something? Are you kidding? I can't even open my eyes without feeling sick.

L: 哟，你睁开眼睛就想吐呀？那是不能吃东西。Michael，幸好今天是星期六，否则你整天就不能上课，什么事也做不了。

M: Li Hua, don't speak so loudly. I still have a headache. I think you get a kick out of watching me suffer.

% G6 a. g# S8 D1 u# Y% N' IL: 你说什么？你想踢我？
0 ^; R: f; P+ N& R1 M3 @  J1 q
M: No, I said you get a kick out of watching me suffer. That means, you enjoy watching me suffer.

L: 噢，to get a kick out of something意思就是为了什么事感到很开心。 这个kick跟踢球的kick是同一个字吗？

9 H0 k( U: N& U( KM: I'm so useless. I only get a kick out of doing stupid things, like getting wasted or watching old cartoons.

2 b9 V; m+ ~0 ~别看Michael 昨晚喝醉了，今天还晕乎乎的。可是他教了李华两个很有用的常用语，一个是：wasted，那是指喝得大醉；另一个是：to get a kick out of something，那就是为某件事感到很高兴。这次的[流行美语]就到此结束，下次节目再见。
