今天我们开始播送[流行美语]。在这个节目里，我们要请大家听Michael 和李华的对话，他们俩都是纽约大学的学生。 Michael 是美国人，但是他听得懂中文。他和李华在这个新学期 里不约而同地都选了摄影课。现在是清早7:50，俩人在课堂门口碰到了。请注意他们讲话中用的两个常用语：bummed 和 chill。

M: Hey, Li Hua, what are you doing here? You taking this class too?

L: 对，我选了摄影课。可是这节课那么早，我最讨厌起大早。

M: Yeah, I’m really bummed that I have to get up so early! I’m also bummed out that Dr. Johnson is teaching this class. I’ve heard she’s really tough.

L: 嗨，Michael, 什么是 bummed? 我记得Bum 不是指无家可归的人吗？

M: Yeah, that is true. But here I used bummed and bummed out. They both mean to be unhappy or upset.

# `: |( @, b6 C4 JL: 噢，你看，就这一个字就把我弄糊涂了。原来是 bummed， 或者是 bummed out， 意思是不高兴，感到烦恼。嗨，Michael, 你刚才说什么来着？

) [+ ^( q/ R' B) HL: 现在我清楚了，你是说要那么早起床实在叫你不高兴， Johnson博士教这门课也让你不高兴，因为她很严格。 嗨，要是女同学拒绝你的邀请，那你就会更难受， 对不对?

M: Ha ha. Very funny. But you are right, if I got turned down for a date I’d be bummed. I’m also bummed that summer vacation is over.

L: 嘿，我可了解你，要是遭到女同学的拒绝，你肯定会垂头丧气的。 你连暑假结束也会感到烦恼。不过，这个单词很有用。我希望学期结束时，我不会因为分数不好而感到 bummed out。

# a& c2 |- i) T8 Z8 b9 X1 [M: Me too. Hey, I got an idea. Let’s go to the student center and relax after class.

% y' {# `& N* n: c
4 V' s/ F+ W! T0 e; `M: Oh, no! Chill or chill out here means to relax. Chill,

L: 噢，chill 或者chill out 在这里是指休息。刚才你还说开学前没有机会 chill out， 到底是什么意思？
; V# A+ r; ?, F( Y- S
M: I said: "I haven’t had a chance to chill out these last few days getting ready for school."
4 e+ P: E: Z# f0 s' M
L: 原来你是说：过去几天为了准备开学而没有机会休息。

那你能说去打棒球，休息一下？

M: You normally go someplace calm and peaceful where you can relax. I like to chill out at the cafe with a book sometimes. And I know that you like to chill at the museum.

9 x7 [3 t# E+ y% i; Q3 g$ uL: 打棒球不能说是 chill out。不错，要到比较安静的地方才能休息。 每个人还不一样，你喜欢坐在咖啡馆里看书，你知道我喜欢到博物馆去。能不能说到酒吧间去 chill out?

( [) D: L0 H4 J( F7 R$ TM: Sure, but we usually only say that if the bar is quiet and not too crowded.

L: 对，要是酒吧间人不多，也不闹，那就能这样说。这个单词太好了。谢谢你教我。我想今晚我到我的朋友家去 chill out。
