4 t- z. A4 Y# r* s# `+ |L: 嗨，Michael, 什么是 bummed? 我记得Bum 不是指无家可归的人吗？

M: Yeah, that is true. But here I used bummed and bummed out. They both mean to be unhappy or upset.
( b, u" V- e4 r6 c
9 t- \5 Y) T% pL: 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: I’m really bummed that I have to get up so early! I’m also bummed out that Professor Johnson is teaching this class.

8 P5 y0 y& z7 D8 VL: 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?

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.

6 A: l/ Q! n6 `9 Y# ^% dL: 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。

M: Me too. Hey, I got an idea. Let’s go to the student center and relax after class.

( J" G. G. F+ ]/ Z. u3 P
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？

, m  y3 {1 y. d% b" V7 z1 h" e5 vM: I said: "I haven’t had a chance to chill out these last few days getting ready for school."

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.

L: 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?

M: Sure, but we usually only say that if the bar is quiet and not too crowded.

! r3 [1 K& s0 R  t# Y' G0 vL: 对，要是酒吧间人不多，也不闹，那就能这样说。这个单词太好了。谢谢你教我。我想今晚我到我的朋友家去 chill out。
