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。4 S3 `' _- L. F' u( o: h# c" n

M: Yes. But don't use this word for big things. For example, you would not ask your friend, "Can I bum your car?": h( l7 p5 k* m: ^+ v0 M7 r
. o+ J" b: g: c6 U; r
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。  C" D  `; ?, G! C

/ X- a6 R$ O" l* l% q0 R/ p2 z( p' M% W1 K0 R# z
M: No, small things you don't need to return, such as gum and candies.
