昨天晚上Michael 和一个老同学一起出去玩，两个人都喝得酩酊大醉。现在李华来找他一起去看一个新的艺术展览。李华会学到两个常用语：wasted和 to get a kick out of something。 ( L5 V* R0 d8 e + S5 U& K5 B, m* W$ `6 l& [L: 嗨， Michael，快走吧，该去看展览了！3 D$ j/ H [7 v0 p4 d. |

别看Michael 昨晚喝醉了，今天还晕乎乎的。可是他教了李华两个很有用的常用语，一个是：wasted，那是指喝得大醉；另一个是：to get a kick out of something，那就是为某件事感到很高兴。这次的[流行美语]就到此结束，下次节目再见。 7 [1 I' M+ U/ }! a6 s ; j+ r3 e" Z% Y( dAudio as following: 3 n1 U# x x$ r% g0 L; j
