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。) `" E' }( B+ X- L1 D1 P' n+ Z

: v6 W" q6 P+ X6 B1 h4 ?
2 q4 X8 `$ Q5 r) i9 n5 v$ G- P2 aM: Yes. But don't use this word for big things. For example, you would not ask your friend, "Can I bum your car?"
6 F, H, f: R' V8 w$ s  V! o* E2 _8 S* ^( h' J1 Y/ w% O
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, S( a/ N. N' J

% H7 O4 b2 r& u! W8 wM: Yeah, it's usually used when asking for something small, like a piece of gum or candy.

各位听众,今天李华从Michael 那里学到了两个常用语,一个是: to bum,意思是借钱或其他东西;另一个是:a turn-off,意思是让人讨厌的地方。这次就到此结束,下次节目再见。3 E9 }: V9 `8 a" C: d* y
