Michael和李华已经从华盛顿返回纽约。今天是星期六,他们一起到纽约的 Meadowlands去看冰球。Michael和李华这两个大学生,一个讲英文,一个讲中文,旁边的人听起来很奇怪,可是他们自己已经习惯了这种方式。今天他们在谈话中会用两个常用语:keep cool和screw up。

L:Michael,谢谢你带我到Meadowlands来看冰球,Meadowlands可是有名的地方呐!而且我从来还没有看过冰球呢!

李华今天从Michael那儿学到了两个常用语,一个是:keep cool,意思是:冷静一些,别太激动;另一个常用语是:screw up, 意思是把事情弄糟了。今天的[流行美语]就学习到这里,我们下次再会。
