昨天晚上Michael 和一个老同学一起出去玩，两个人都喝得酩酊大醉。现在李华来找他一起去看一个新的艺术展览。李华会学到两个常用语：wasted和 to get a kick out of something。 , H; d/ p5 @' W4 ]* Z6 z; o% V3 S ]2 Z+ |& {1 V' Q5 n% {

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。 * s& Z0 \5 [" j& ~6 |+ S7 A ) E6 t6 P& P% J& u* Y, xM: Ugh. It always seems like a lot of fun when I get completely wasted, but the next day, I regret it. ' {( L8 r# X/ x5 _7 U8 y9 A6 P3 s7 ?/ ?

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。 , t. \4 e) i& @! J 1 o% a% p4 l( SAudio as following: 8 T+ a# q* f. s( ~8 }9 b
