6 `" V" ]2 s  ^6 b* BM: 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？

4 h' h% ^6 u8 ~( Z3 R' f+ HM: Yeah, that is true. But here I used bummed and bummed out. They both mean to be unhappy or upset.

L: 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？

, T' O$ I& J6 |% N  D  _M: I’m really bummed that I have to get up so early! I’m also bummed out that Professor Johnson is teaching this class.

L: 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?

# y2 u& L% G+ C8 x  {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。

M: Me too. Hey, I got an idea. Let’s go to the student center and relax after class.

L: 我当然知道 Johnson 博士有多严格。好吧，下了课我们去学生中心休息一下。

L: 什么？ 你说上完课很高兴，但是为什么一上午你会发冷呢？

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？

8 A7 ?/ I$ G* r: Y* P' x# l3 A- BL: 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?

6 p9 W4 ~3 d1 \4 ~0 h9 r5 U9 k/ y' P) cM: 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。

M: Sounds great! Ah, look at the time. I need to go meet my friend at the bookstore. Sorry that I have to go, I’m really bummed to have to leave you!
