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。
( f2 a+ [8 {5 ~3 ]) N6 N  \; |2 w) A0 n9 Q
L: 嗨,这儿好热闹啊!Michael, 在爱尔兰酒吧里大家喝些什么呢?' `3 Z1 V3 n  h7 Q

0 ^6 A& T3 s9 `# X6 |* |M: People normally drink a large beer that is usually served warm.
* f3 q& Y- b& `# y; i/ R% T" d$ P$ R' O7 j9 e7 J3 S5 r

L: 随便我要什么都行呀!那好,就来一小杯。对了,你刚才说要是我不在意的话,你想bum a couple of dollars, 那是什么意思啊?. _# A& e' o0 I, V5 h# G' c* d

% x8 @1 E/ h+ J" P3 o" z4 N2 ZM: What I mean is, can I borrow a couple of dollars from you.6 Y5 O5 G, J" t$ o5 F. ?1 b& |

L: 原来你要问我借几块钱!
. C8 c5 y! U8 D# R+ e+ |7 L. n; g- v: g9 c  c
M: Yes. But don't use this word for big things. For example, you would not ask your friend, "Can I bum your car?"
$ Z3 A( [7 a) J! E# p* C7 ~" }9 a( O2 a. R: I: M
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。
( `7 v6 l! b0 y  w' i5 Q' x7 y- g* k. K- D
M: Yeah, it's usually used when asking for something small, like a piece of gum or candy.
2 @' ^1 ]8 r: Y4 b' @9 h- d2 h/ K3 X3 X) u+ v& [  F
L: 哟,你们美国人,怎么一片口香糖,一颗糖还要借啊?难道真的还要还吗?

1 c$ L, i! I/ o# m) C& w+ T
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。6 l& P! V# E8 V

* n' B( C5 \4 ]% v) k9 w! ~- CM: 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.' l0 k# d# ^( ^7 Q
8 X8 g! B) D; S. ~. E+ d
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?
