现在大家可能都已经很熟悉Michael和李华了吧!他们俩都在纽约上大学。纽约有许多酒吧都是爱尔兰移民开的。今天Michael要带李华去看一个酒吧。Michael在讲话时会用两个常用语:to bum和turn-off。

M: Yes. But don't use this word for big things. For example, you would not ask your friend, "Can I bum your car?"! `: ]( _' a( J+ z1 H- P7 w3 V9 M
# F& X  T6 W% O6 [- ^3 x/ Y. P/ L
L: 噢,在问别人借大的,象汽车之类的东西时,不能用bum这个字,bum 只能用在问人借小东西的时候。

M: No, small things you don't need to return, such as gum and candies.
; y! u3 _5 j# I& Z! t/ {8 c' p. D4 \$ L7 f9 g
L: 这很重要,因为在这种情况下,我们中国人就不说借了,我们大概会说:给一颗糖吧。# f9 }7 ]- m, U4 ]7 ^" Z( u

M: You are right Li Hua. But if you feel cold at a friend's home and you asked to bum a sweater, then you would return it when you were going to leave.
% \# n) F1 Z+ c0 |0 @7 i0 U" L: E/ }5 ?* R' R* }. A: a
L: 对,要是在朋友家感到冷要借一件毛衣,那一般都应该还的。所以,这要看情况,对不对?
