[流行美语]又和大家见面了。Michael这个美国学生今天好象什么事都不太顺当。他的中国同学李华也发现他好象有心事。到底是什么事呢？你听了Michael和李华的对话就知道了。他们在对话中会用到两个美国年轻人常用的说法，一个是to bomb；另一个是to mess up。 6 O5 x1 Y; K" x4 o7 g. H; H) z% \2 q2 P9 ]6 h& W0 s

L: 噢，你怕刚才历史测验会不及格。嗨，没必要，这又不是大考。 Michael，你刚才说什么"bombed my history test"，bomb不是炸弹，或是爆炸吗？你可不要开这样的玩笑，现在大家对安全问题都很敏感。+ d' V0 q; G5 T+ U1 U' X" s

That means that no one wanted to see it, and it probably lost a lot of money. $ j* h. |) _5 k0 D$ D) E+ H* {/ o 7 X. ]- w+ E S- wL: 噢，还可以指电影，或话剧太次，没有人要看，卖座率太低。我上星期去看了一次电影，剧院里没几个人。后来我才看到报纸评论说这部电影太糟了。我能不能说："The movie I saw last week bombed"?( U3 c) y" I' d; x# F/ ^/ p
