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。: G9 K. J+ Z2 s7 N, I3 |; d

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?- R, y* m  ]7 j9 Z9 F7 m

  T* S6 n1 ~# s2 y6 o0 Q5 {2 rM: Yes. But don't use this word for big things. For example, you would not ask your friend, "Can I bum your car?"
7 N" v. N0 ]  z- h3 m8 A+ P2 O7 {9 m, {1 G
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。' L+ q0 k8 o- a6 b" H0 q% v9 n

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。

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。7 Y5 o# P, [( ^6 m& `
