L: Got wasted? 你说你们浪费了好多钱呀？

; X9 F6 g3 X7 qM: No, Li Hua, when I say we got wasted I mean we got very very drunk.

L: 噢，你们到酒吧去了。你说的wasted意思是喝酒喝得酩酊大醉，不是指浪费。

L: 中学时的好朋友来看你，一高兴就喝多了，这我可以理解。在中国，老同学见面的时候，我们总是会开个party，往往喝好多酒，可是我们不见得会醉到象你这种程度。

M: Ugh. It always seems like a lot of fun when I get completely wasted, but the next day, I regret it.

L: 是啊，喝得大醉的时候觉得很好玩，到第二天你就后悔了。得了，你得换换衣服，吃点东西。我们得早点去，否则人会太多了。

别看Michael 昨晚喝醉了，今天还晕乎乎的。可是他教了李华两个很有用的常用语，一个是：wasted，那是指喝得大醉；另一个是：to get a kick out of something，那就是为某件事感到很高兴。这次的[流行美语]就到此结束，下次节目再见。
