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。. z) r' b( Y  J& t+ r* G9 B% F0 l

9 x. s1 W. [3 VL: 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?

1 j' l. q+ g1 I6 Q* b9 {. m* n3 y. z4 k4 S2 T3 }
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。3 B: ]* Z4 e; B$ r3 r8 t9 k

# B( v% q7 Q" ]7 Y, S& ]0 b+ `' J9 ?; g4 @6 t3 h
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?

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。
