M: Are you okay, Li Hua? What's wrong? Why are you crying?

5 Y& ?( T. L8 M5 CL: 我没事。这个电视剧让人挺伤心的。我一看这种电视剧就会哭，真是 没办法。

, @3 m' n! I) B  v
( [) j- N- [  [8 Y- P/ |M: If you call someone a nerd, it means you think he is weird and not cool. It can be used in many different situations.

L: 噢，nerd是指那种跟一般人不一样，有点怪的人。Nerd可以用在 许多不同场合。那象你今天穿了这套衣服，怪怪的，我就可以 说：You're a nerd。 对不对？

M: Me? A nerd? Well, yes, you could call me a nerd.

  l! H& u( h+ a& dM: As a matter of fact, when I was growing up, a lot of kids called me a nerd because I didn't fit in.

- Z7 R" _4 N, ?" qL: 你小的时候不合群，所以许多人都叫你nerd。我看你现在很合 群嘛。看不出你小时候是个nerd。你到底是怎么个不合群呢？

! Y! l& p8 T. ]9 j$ V$ T, j/ _L: 对，你好象告诉过我你从小就不太喜欢体育，跟那些很受欢迎的 同学也合不到一起。所以，你就成了一个nerd。

M: A typical nerd is someone who wears glasses and carries a lot of books.

  d, G6 G, X9 G# N2 {L: 噢，那就是书呆子的形象，戴着眼镜，拿着许多书。

M: That's right. If someone is always studying, or seems to know the answers to everything, you can call him a nerd.

L: 老念书，什么都知道的人，那不就是书呆子吗？Michael，我看你 有的时候穿衣服有点怪，也许人家会叫你nerd，可是你绝对不会 成为书呆子。

% S* D; y! m# F4 oM: I guess so! Li Hua, That TV show is so cheesy. I don't know why it's so popular.
7 n3 g* Q0 e6 E
, N1 E  D  q6 x8 T' s* J& DL: 这个电视剧好多人都喜欢，包括我在内 。可你又在说什么批评的 话， 我不知道cheesy是什么意思，但是我知道你在说它不好。
, p8 _6 B4 G) t6 U+ v. _& h
M: Cheesy means tacky or dumb. It's usually used to describe a TV show, movie, or something someone says.
& U4 b/ y& w3 E# l; \) Z
) `' l% ~7 g& h% e, ~L: 噢，cheesy就是很俗气，质量很次，很愚蠢。人们经常用cheesy 这个词来形容电视节目，电影或者某个人说的话。

6 `: G/ N/ h$ k% l. mM: I think the new TV soap opera on Channel 6 is so cheesy. It is fake and the things they say on the shows are so weird. I don't know why these shows are so popular.

  k* K2 v9 M& ]2 x5 B9 yL: 对，我也看了六频道那个新的电视连续剧。情节是很虚假，对话 也很怪。可是你想知道为什么那么多人喜欢看吗？我来告诉你。看这 种电视剧总想知道结局嘛。我有的时候还会流泪的呢。

M: How can those cheesy TV shows make you cry? You're such a nerd.

L: 什么？ 你说我是个nerd?

M: Don't be mad, Li Hua. But you are a nerd. No one cries while watching these cheesy TV shows！
1 ^' b& G; ^, r* k9 `
' s6 j9 X4 `9 T" iL: 我才不信呢。你们这些不流眼泪的人缺乏感情，你们才是nerd。 我不 跟你说了，我要回去了。
: ]/ J& Y9 p! ]5 b2 j! N
$ i5 ~- ^7 O' e9 r1 d* k( @M: No, no, Li Hua. Wait, at least you have to finish watching this cheesy TV show so that you know who's going to marry whom.

L: 对了，不看完这个电视剧，不知道结局，我也睡不着。那就看 吧！

! y7 D& X" ~1 ^3 ~+ k看来今天李华真是生气了，因为Michael说她是个nerd, 也就是说她这个人有点怪。后来她同意继续在Michael 家看完那个很cheesy的电视节目。Cheesy 就是很俗气， 没有水平的意思。这次[流行美语]就学习到这里。我们下次再见。
