' s- R# X& a- rM: Hey, Li Hua, what are you doing here? You taking this class too?

* B$ ]! K/ ^, c4 f, y3 Y' U5 o$ zL: 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.

7 n3 T( ^3 e$ G) ~L: 嗨，Michael, 什么是 bummed? 我记得Bum 不是指无家可归的人吗？
$ y( i; n! b$ H* _* q
M: Yeah, that is true. But here I used bummed and bummed out. They both mean to be unhappy or upset.
( u! c3 `/ t1 y" \' t
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？

3 L: n9 e8 ?9 }& t
% W+ _  }/ x& G5 PL: 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?

) T* g' _  d2 o& F2 PM: 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.
2 F, f' T" b$ r! Q
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。
. p% q/ l: g) E
M: Me too. Hey, I got an idea. Let’s go to the student center and relax after class.
* A1 L1 K, W' p* Q4 `4 ^
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。

, [5 h  M) R! g* D! ]% i% d' |M: Glad class is over! I’m ready to chill for the rest of the morning. I haven’t had a chance to chill out these last few days, getting ready for school and all.

$ x& @; j- @# \+ YL: 什么？ 你说上完课很高兴，但是为什么一上午你会发冷呢？

, Q4 L6 z6 U6 HM: Oh, no! Chill or chill out here means to relax. Chill,
) t* Y  W( M* ^/ V! b" r
- r$ @& @: B; m0 T! l5 j# RL: 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？
2 b( ~' b% Q- l1 p
) @  m- ]5 }5 hM: I said: "I haven’t had a chance to chill out these last few days getting ready for school."

7 V' B8 ?- R4 nL: 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？

& `" |% O4 |/ p; kM: 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.
7 {+ i  `5 ~8 z8 J
L: 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?
4 h2 P4 D# j4 ?
6 M. ^" j0 f: @9 G# }M: Sure, but we usually only say that if the bar is quiet and not too crowded.

! M% S, s; g) h7 HL: 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!

+ K0 R3 g1 d/ z: _1 GL: 得了，你要去书店跟朋友一起买书，你就走吧，别说什么跟我分手很难受这种话。走吧，下回我们到别的地方去玩。
