第一部 第一课: bummed(out) , chill(out)
- Michael 是个美国人，但是他听得懂中文．他和李华在这个新学期裡不约而同地都选了摄影课．现在是清早 7 点 50 分，俩人在课堂门口碰到了．请注意他们讲话中用的两个常用语： bummed 和 chill。
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- Hey, Li Hua, what are you doing here? You taking this class too?
- 对呀，我选了摄影课．可是这节课这麼早，我最讨厌起大早了。
- Yeah, I'm really bummed that I have to get up so early! I'm also bummed out that Dr. Johnson is teaching this class. I've heard she's really tough.
- 嘿， Michael 呀，什麼是 bummed？我记得 bum 不是指无家可归的人吗？
- Yeah, that is true. But here I used bummed and bummed out. They both mean to be unhappy or upset. bummed, b-u-m-m-e-d, out, o-u-t.
- 哦～，你看，就一大早这一个字啊就把我给搞糊涂了．原来是 bummed，或者是 bummed out，意思呢就是不高兴，感到烦恼．?， Michael 呀，你刚才是怎麼说的啊？
- I'm really bummed that I have to get up so early! I'm also bummed out that Professor Johnson is teaching this class.
- 你是说要那麼早起床实在叫你不高兴， Johnson 博士呢教这门课也让你不高兴，因為她很严格嘛．?，要是女同学拒绝你的邀请，那你就会更难受了，对不对？
- 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.
- 嘿，我可了解你啦，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．我希望学期结束时，我不会因為分数不好而感到 bummed out。
- Me too. Hey, I got an idea. Let's go to the student center and relax after class.
- 好吧，下了课我们就去学生中心休息一下。
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- Whew! Glad class is over! I'm ready to chill for the rest of the morning. I haven't had a chance to chill out these few days, getting ready for school and all.
- 嘿～，什麼呀？你说上完课很高兴，可是為什麼一上午你就会发冷呢？
- Oh, no! Chill or chill out here means to relax. Chill, c-h-i-l-l, out, o-u-t.
- 哦～， chill 或者 chill out 在这裡呢是指休息．刚才你还说开学前没有机会 chill out，那又是什麼意思啊？
- I said: "I haven't had a chance to chill out these last few days getting ready for school."
- 原来你是说，过去几天為了準备开学而没有机会休息。
- 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 you like to chill at the museum.
- 要到比较安静的地方才能休息．每个人还不一样呢，你喜欢坐在咖啡馆裡看书，我喜欢到博物馆去．能不能说到酒吧去 chill out 呢？
- Sure, but we usually only say that if the bar is quiet and not too crowded.
- 对，要是酒吧裡人不多，也不闹，那就能这样说．今晚我要到我朋友家去 chill out。
- Sounds great! Ah, look at the time. I need to go meet my friend at the bookstore. Sorry that I have to go, I'm really bummed to have to leave you!
- 行啦，你快去书店跟朋友买书去吧，那～，我们下回再到别的地方去玩儿吧。
- Cool. Have fun chilling tonight at your friends'. See you later!
- 嗯，我今晚在朋友家肯定会玩得高兴的， Bye！
