3 k2 o  b% F( w+ jMichael和李华已经从华盛顿返回纽约。今天是星期六,他们一起到纽约的 Meadowlands去看冰球。Michael和李华这两个大学生,一个讲英文,一个讲中文,旁边的人听起来很奇怪,可是他们自己已经习惯了这种方式。今天他们在谈话中会用两个常用语:keep cool和screw up。6 ^3 ?7 O2 Z0 R5 t

  Q& [4 O; t, L; V李华今天从Michael那儿学到了两个常用语,一个是:keep cool,意思是:冷静一些,别太激动;另一个常用语是:screw up, 意思是把事情弄糟了。今天的[流行美语]就学习到这里,我们下次再会。% w! U7 ^" K) p
