! u# o4 ^3 f, s$ P/ [2 Y5 `- w' nL: 你叫我什么？A nerd? 我知道那不是什么好话，可是nerd到底是什 么意思呢？

' j! l$ H( N: x  a) d, k6 dM: If you call someone a nerd, it means you think he is weird and not cool. It can be used in many different situations.
& j, j) X" I' z" x) S, k
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？

M: Me? A nerd? Well, yes, you could call me a nerd.

L: 我肯定好多人都叫你a nerd。

M: As a matter of fact, when I was growing up, a lot of kids called me a nerd because I didn't fit in.

6 `) M: R! K  e! N8 IL: 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？

M: Well, as you know I was never very good at sports, and I never knew how to fit in with the cool kids.

" d: h, N6 H0 y7 o3 ZL: 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。

$ [- R3 [9 }6 s# f/ ~M: That's right. If someone is always studying, or seems to know the answers to everything, you can call him a nerd.

L: 老念书，什么都知道的人，那不就是书呆子吗？Michael，我看你 有的时候穿衣服有点怪，也许人家会叫你nerd，可是你绝对不会 成为书呆子。

M: Cheesy means tacky or dumb. It's usually used to describe a TV show, movie, or something someone says.

# J9 O4 V- X3 D% v# c( ?  I' c+ fL: 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。

L: 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。

M: No, no, Li Hua. Wait, at least you have to finish watching this cheesy TV show so that you know who's going to marry whom.

# X+ Q. h* M; Q3 K1 v/ b+ D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。
