L: 对，我选了摄影课。可是这节课那么早，我最讨厌起大早。

9 ]) l( w# y* m0 F) P8 K# ~5 oM: 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.

' c  S$ B- `2 T% Z$ K5 \! q7 ~L: 嗨，Michael, 什么是 bummed? 我记得Bum 不是指无家可归的人吗？

% K' B. f6 @( @9 v2 |M: Yeah, that is true. But here I used bummed and bummed out. They both mean to be unhappy or upset.

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.

% R+ T9 b% J8 S' u2 G' }( OL: 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?

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.

( T* T* j& a; B4 UL: 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。

9 U- c  W4 o; p$ v9 hM: Me too. Hey, I got an idea. Let’s go to the student center and relax after class.
0 I' J3 B7 X- B: @$ c  z
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。

6 P' ~& r6 ?! [( vM: 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.

L: 什么？ 你说上完课很高兴，但是为什么一上午你会发冷呢？
, H" @0 U6 l: x2 R' m
M: Oh, no! Chill or chill out here means to relax. Chill,

* h) U. D" \  z4 A! N& uL: 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？

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.

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?
; t5 e) U. c9 L. ~
- Y, b, P' D  L  vM: Sure, but we usually only say that if the bar is quiet and not too crowded.
