M: Hey, Li Hua, what are you doing here? You taking this class too?

L: 对，我选了摄影课。可是这节课那么早，我最讨厌起大早。

  R. \0 L- q0 |9 ]' j; bM: 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.

L: 嗨，Michael, 什么是 bummed? 我记得Bum 不是指无家可归的人吗？

M: Yeah, that is true. But here I used bummed and bummed out. They both mean to be unhappy or upset.
' z9 b: g! V  `. Y7 l9 W/ }
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？

M: I’m really bummed that I have to get up so early! I’m also bummed out that Professor Johnson is teaching this class.

M: 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.

L: 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？

那你能说去打棒球，休息一下？

M: 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.

6 h  a7 p4 R- H3 WL: 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?

M: Sure, but we usually only say that if the bar is quiet and not too crowded.

L: 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。

% C& G  r5 n( KM: 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!

L: 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。

M: Cool. Have fun chilling tonight at your friends’. See you later!
