Michael和李華白天上了好幾門課,晚飯后又做功課。李華決定到Michael 的住處去休息一下,看一會(huì)電視。今天Michael 會(huì)教李華兩個(gè)常用語:nerd 和cheesy.
M: Are you okay, Li Hua? What's wrong? Why are you crying?
L: 我沒事。這個(gè)電視劇讓人挺傷心的。我一看這種電視劇就會(huì)哭,真是 沒辦法。
M: You are such a nerd.
L: 你叫我什么?A nerd? 我知道那不是什么好話,可是nerd到底是什 么意思呢?
M: If you call someone a nerd, it means you think he is weird and not cool. It can be used in many different situations.
L: 噢,nerd是指那種跟一般人不一樣,有點(diǎn)怪的人。Nerd可以用在許多不同場(chǎng)合。那象你今天穿了這套衣服,怪怪的,我就可以 說:You're a nerd. 對(duì)不對(duì)?
M: Me? A nerd? Well, yes, you could call me a nerd.
L: 我肯定好多人都叫你a nerd.
M: As a matter of fact, when I was growing up, a lot of kids called me a nerd because I didn't fit in.
L: 你小的時(shí)候不合群,所以許多人都叫你nerd.我看你現(xiàn)在很合群嘛�?床怀瞿阈r(shí)候是個(gè)nerd.你到底是怎么個(gè)不合群呢?
M: Well, as you know I was never very good at sports, and I never knew how to fit in with the cool kids.
L: 對(duì),你好象告訴過我你從小就不太喜歡體育,跟那些很受歡迎的 同學(xué)也合不到一起。所以,你就成了一個(gè)nerd.
M: A typical nerd is someone who wears glasses and carries a lot of books.
L: 噢,那就是書呆子的形象,戴著眼鏡,拿著許多書。
M: That's right. If someone is always studying, or seems to know the answers to everything, you can call him a nerd.
L: 老念書,什么都知道的人,那不就是書呆子嗎?Michael,我看你 有的時(shí)候穿衣服有點(diǎn)怪,也許人家會(huì)叫你nerd,可是你絕對(duì)不會(huì)成為書呆子。
M: I guess so! Li Hua, That TV show is so cheesy. I don't know why it's so popular.
L: 這個(gè)電視劇好多人都喜歡,包括我在內(nèi) .可你又在說什么批評(píng)的 話, 我不知道cheesy是什么意思,但是我知道你在說它不好。
M: Cheesy means tacky or dumb. It's usually used to describe a TV show, movie, or something someone says.
L: 噢,cheesy就是很俗氣,質(zhì)量很次,很愚蠢。人們經(jīng)常用cheesy 這個(gè)詞來形容電視節(jié)目,電影或者某個(gè)人說的話。
M: I think the new TV soap opera on Channel 6 is so cheesy. It is fake and the things they say on the shows are so weird. I don't know why these shows are so popular.
L: 對(duì),我也看了六頻道那個(gè)新的電視連續(xù)劇。情節(jié)是很虛假,對(duì)話 也很怪�?墒悄阆胫罏槭裁茨敲炊嗳讼矚g看嗎?我來告訴你�?催@ 種電視劇總想知道結(jié)局嘛。我有的時(shí)候還會(huì)流淚的呢。
M: How can those cheesy TV shows make you cry? You're such a nerd.
L: 什么? 你說我是個(gè)nerd?
M: Don't be mad, Li Hua. But you are a nerd. No one cries while watching these cheesy TV shows!
L: 我才不信呢。你們這些不流眼淚的人缺乏感情,你們才是nerd. 我不跟你說了,我要回去了。
M: No, no, Li Hua. Wait, at least you have to finish watching this cheesy TV show so that you know who's going to marry whom.
L: 對(duì)了,不看完這個(gè)電視劇,不知道結(jié)局,我也睡不著。那就看吧!
看來今天李華真是生氣了,因?yàn)镸ichael說她是個(gè)nerd, 也就是說她這個(gè)人有點(diǎn)怪。后來她同意繼續(xù)在Michael 家看完那個(gè)很cheesy的電視節(jié)目。Cheesy 就是很俗氣, 沒有水平的意思。這次《流行美語》就學(xué)習(xí)到這里。我們下次再見。
