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。

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?. m# l* s' j% L

M: Yes. But don't use this word for big things. For example, you would not ask your friend, "Can I bum your car?"
9 E+ Y: ?$ v( W0 s6 k( b) n  \9 d9 o9 D: B2 C6 R8 {! f
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。

# I$ Z% W( a6 \* O8 p" o) Q
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?" a; O" S% d$ O4 k
