M: Hey, Li Hua, what are you doing here? You taking this class too?
& ^; [: O8 |5 c5 f8 Y) u
5 @: ?# M; Y* W# I- a: I9 ~L: 对，我选了摄影课。可是这节课那么早，我最讨厌起大早。
3 n& ]3 Y. A  b7 o7 e: ~
M: Yeah, I’m really bummed that I have to get up so early! I’m also bummed out that Dr. Johnson is teaching this class. I’ve heard she’s really tough.
2 L' V: d6 @$ c$ z& I
L: 嗨，Michael, 什么是 bummed? 我记得Bum 不是指无家可归的人吗？

( y8 p2 p/ j! L' P+ C) N% g# fM: Yeah, that is true. But here I used bummed and bummed out. They both mean to be unhappy or upset.
) b: O$ p/ p  P2 K% m
L: 噢，你看，就这一个字就把我弄糊涂了。原来是 bummed， 或者是 bummed out， 意思是不高兴，感到烦恼。嗨，Michael, 你刚才说什么来着？

M: I’m really bummed that I have to get up so early! I’m also bummed out that Professor Johnson is teaching this class.

/ q; a" P6 ]. TL: 现在我清楚了，你是说要那么早起床实在叫你不高兴， Johnson博士教这门课也让你不高兴，因为她很严格。 嗨，要是女同学拒绝你的邀请，那你就会更难受， 对不对?
$ ^+ V3 g4 d1 A7 X  G, ]
+ D' M% }) x* u$ q* kM: Ha ha. Very funny. But you are right, if I got turned down for a date I’d be bummed. I’m also bummed that summer vacation is over.

( U4 l7 [" v1 p! Z8 J2 r0 `  FL: 嘿，我可了解你，要是遭到女同学的拒绝，你肯定会垂头丧气的。 你连暑假结束也会感到烦恼。不过，这个单词很有用。我希望学期结束时，我不会因为分数不好而感到 bummed out。
. v( O" F0 F" Y( }( c7 V; ?
M: Me too. Hey, I got an idea. Let’s go to the student center and relax after class.

2 b& T' {) Q& I/ lL: 我当然知道 Johnson 博士有多严格。好吧，下了课我们去学生中心休息一下。

) i/ L# Z# m, R! I0 qM: Glad class is over! I’m ready to chill for the rest of the morning. I haven’t had a chance to chill out these last few days, getting ready for school and all.

L: 什么？ 你说上完课很高兴，但是为什么一上午你会发冷呢？

% e6 m# N& n2 S3 X1 jM: Oh, no! Chill or chill out here means to relax. Chill,

L: 噢，chill 或者chill out 在这里是指休息。刚才你还说开学前没有机会 chill out， 到底是什么意思？

M: I said: "I haven’t had a chance to chill out these last few days getting ready for school."

L: 原来你是说：过去几天为了准备开学而没有机会休息。

' p  U) E" w+ e/ S) e- Y- z' mM: You normally go someplace calm and peaceful where you can relax. I like to chill out at the cafe with a book sometimes. And I know that you like to chill at the museum.
) [. g2 {5 v! Y( h* s, |
# l; u4 F& J. l9 z5 B/ yL: 打棒球不能说是 chill out。不错，要到比较安静的地方才能休息。 每个人还不一样，你喜欢坐在咖啡馆里看书，你知道我喜欢到博物馆去。能不能说到酒吧间去 chill out?

) t, e  P! C" u8 K5 [" @6 Z& _M: Sure, but we usually only say that if the bar is quiet and not too crowded.

M: Sounds great! Ah, look at the time. I need to go meet my friend at the bookstore. Sorry that I have to go, I’m really bummed to have to leave you!

L: 得了，你要去书店跟朋友一起买书，你就走吧，别说什么跟我分手很难受这种话。走吧，下回我们到别的地方去玩。
