Michael和李华白天上了好几门课，晚饭后又做功课。李华决定到Michael 的住处去休息一下，看一会电视。今天Michael 会教李华两个常用语：nerd 和cheesy。 ; S6 \( T4 m# O# E : [9 |1 {6 b4 m8 K/ [M: Are you okay, Li Hua? What's wrong? Why are you crying? : o7 T( a ?) W' D, P ! r: C H) ?( J a2 k/ ~& U7 ML: 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。8 `" O" p' t: n9 `% q

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。 ' d; v. O8 k. j% j" NAudio as following:0 u' j- \/ ^) i4 `0 T. X
