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.

' p/ {! O8 P2 h3 Y7 H$ p: GL: 嗨，Michael, 什么是 bummed? 我记得Bum 不是指无家可归的人吗？
6 A" Z  Z" ^# W* k' S
, I# F! P0 Y/ p. }3 ^" P9 m* kM: Yeah, that is true. But here I used bummed and bummed out. They both mean to be unhappy or upset.

! D5 Y& M& g7 C+ r3 OL: 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？

$ z( D$ p( _8 O1 iM: I’m really bummed that I have to get up so early! I’m also bummed out that Professor Johnson is teaching this class.

L: 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?
$ _. }% O$ n/ j, v& I
' M) A2 L: O& l0 ]9 Q. UM: 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.

L: 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。

* o, P; d6 W% a8 Q3 _+ {  g, gM: Me too. Hey, I got an idea. Let’s go to the student center and relax after class.

9 c2 _! ~" j& X0 Q) S1 h/ PL: 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。

M: 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？

$ k& k& Z7 b4 N7 z$ t6 gM: Oh, no! Chill or chill out here means to relax. Chill,
! l& y% P# B: g/ i7 C
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？
& Z; S" y5 Q: r
M: I said: "I haven’t had a chance to chill out these last few days getting ready for school."
! D( \7 Z/ f+ t; c& @  w
L: 原来你是说：过去几天为了准备开学而没有机会休息。

那你能说去打棒球，休息一下？

M: 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.
; n! D) K6 X: Q/ p7 _
7 M5 L' v% F* X! m7 X, t1 mL: 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?

8 H% F- \8 }2 i' J8 dM: Sure, but we usually only say that if the bar is quiet and not too crowded.
8 q8 ]4 e/ Q+ z. D- {

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。
