今天我们开始播送[流行美语]。在这个节目里，我们要请大家听Michael 和李华的对话，他们俩都是纽约大学的学生。 Michael 是美国人，但是他听得懂中文。他和李华在这个新学期 里不约而同地都选了摄影课。现在是清早7:50，俩人在课堂门口碰到了。请注意他们讲话中用的两个常用语：bummed 和 chill。 : I7 r& `5 _- R6 s4 J7 _' m

( [3 [# r' e Y8 tL: 嗨，Michael, 什么是 bummed? 我记得Bum 不是指无家可归的人吗？
5 Z6 D- A/ W# @: q# {) ~) s6 V4 m- C# \' L
M: Yeah, that is true. But here I used bummed and bummed out. They both mean to be unhappy or upset.

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: 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.

# @* n% l- x* o5 j: H8 Z
9 A c: V3 q2 b& G% c& ^+ FL: 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?& k- R! I1 [0 r% K: N
