M: If you call someone a nerd, it means you think he is weird and not cool. It can be used in many different situations.
4 R6 i- L7 u& i( O  b& D
L: 噢，nerd是指那种跟一般人不一样，有点怪的人。Nerd可以用在 许多不同场合。那象你今天穿了这套衣服，怪怪的，我就可以 说：You're a nerd。 对不对？

$ y* x2 X9 w% @% x- u  A  OL: 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？

3 E$ W" t& Z. ]: W4 `" a( CL: 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.

$ H0 G- R3 n# k, H! {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。

! {& O1 C' j7 p* }5 IM: Cheesy means tacky or dumb. It's usually used to describe a TV show, movie, or something someone says.
3 R" A8 m: t: c7 O) [
  t  M$ K5 V* {; S. [L: 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。

& w6 b7 v# K6 p% D! HM: 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.

# J  }$ y9 I6 k5 P9 }; ?/ ^1 GL: 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。

* X8 S4 ]" A2 |" i7 ], [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。
