$ ?2 p1 U) z% B5 DMichael和李华白天上了好几门课，晚饭后又做功课。李华决定到Michael 的住处去休息一下，看一会电视。今天Michael 会教李华两个常用语：nerd 和cheesy。

' G. x- U  O  C5 @* C, }9 I6 IM: 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？
) z7 r$ b& i/ g- R/ b& H9 w
M: Well, as you know I was never very good at sports, and I never knew how to fit in with the cool kids.

L: 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。

M: A typical nerd is someone who wears glasses and carries a lot of books.

L: 噢，那就是书呆子的形象，戴着眼镜，拿着许多书。
0 D( {% u: a" ^5 Q$ y9 g
M: That's right. If someone is always studying, or seems to know the answers to everything, you can call him a nerd.

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。

+ x, P6 o' Q2 ?9 ]2 ^; `M: I guess so! Li Hua, That TV show is so cheesy. I don't know why it's so popular.

L: 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。
' z( c- C3 ?! m9 e3 b/ o8 m
5 a: v5 s0 I8 Y& K9 {8 BM: Cheesy means tacky or dumb. It's usually used to describe a TV show, movie, or something someone says.

% W" B/ b% W% y; G4 G, kL: 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。
: s7 ~# ]8 b) I1 R
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。

* K8 a4 e( Y5 ZM: How can those cheesy TV shows make you cry? You're such a nerd.

! K" I8 H# \, ^4 ?4 }: eL: 什么？ 你说我是个nerd?

M: Don't be mad, Li Hua. But you are a nerd. No one cries while watching these cheesy TV shows！

/ W  l4 u2 t- g" OL: 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。

/ x7 Q% _1 N' r. v# f, @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.

) K; C+ L" _2 z; rL: 对了，不看完这个电视剧，不知道结局，我也睡不着。那就看 吧！

0 n% v2 `( |8 T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。
