9 V$ f+ ?$ B- `1 L$ I" v' p7 p1 T) yMichael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。

4 x/ z) V5 R& k$ zL: 噢,keep cool就是要冷静一点, 你是说这些球员不要火气那么大,需要保持冷静。对,他们要是老打架,最好的球员就会被禁止打球的。

5 Z5 E0 c# F; A1 e2 X, e, m$ F9 b1 T3 {# B+ M+ C1 V

L:是不是只能说打球时,或参加运动比赛时犯了错误?
, r5 {$ C  ?# F. x+ n+ l# y% C: B8 c
M:No, it can be used to describe a lot of things. For example, I screw up on tests all the time.
( g. \9 n7 _- J  B- A) u6 V6 T6 O1 R+ j. x" G
L:噢,你考试老考糟也能用screw up来表示呀!这么说,"screw up" 可以用的范围很广。 要是说一个人工作没有做好呢?

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。
