昨天晚上Michael 和一個(gè)老同學(xué)一起出去玩，兩個(gè)人都喝得酩酊大醉?，F(xiàn)在李華來(lái)找他一起去看一個(gè)新的藝術(shù)展覽。李華會(huì)學(xué)到兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ)：wasted和 to get a kick out of something。

L: 嗨， Michael，快走吧，該去看展覽了！

M: Give me a moment, Li Hua. Last night a friend and I went out to a bar and got wasted, so I don't feel very good right now.

L: Got wasted? 你說(shuō)你們浪費(fèi)了好多錢(qián)呀？

M: No, Li Hua, when I say we got wasted I mean we got very very drunk.

L: 噢，你們到酒吧去了。你說(shuō)的wasted意思是喝酒喝得酩酊大醉，不是指浪費(fèi)。

M: We were so wasted that we couldn't even stand up straight.

L: 你們真是要命，喝得站都站不直。干嗎要喝那么多呢？這么喝對(duì)你身體不好的。

M: I know. My best friend from high school came to visit, and we usually get wasted when we meet.

L: 中學(xué)時(shí)的好朋友來(lái)看你，一高興就喝多了，這我可以理解。在中國(guó)，老同學(xué)見(jiàn)面的時(shí)候，我們總是會(huì)開(kāi)個(gè)party，往往喝好多酒，可是我們不見(jiàn)得會(huì)醉到象你這種程度。

M: Ugh. It always seems like a lot of fun when I get completely wasted, but the next day, I regret it.

L: 是啊，喝得大醉的時(shí)候覺(jué)得很好玩，到第二天你就后悔了。得了，你得換換衣服，吃點(diǎn)東西。我們得早點(diǎn)去，否則人會(huì)太多了。

M: Eat something? Are you kidding? I can't even open my eyes without feeling sick.

L: 喲，你睜開(kāi)眼睛就想吐呀？那是不能吃東西。Michael，幸好今天是星期六，否則你整天就不能上課，什么事也做不了。

M: Yes, I'm in graduate school, and I can't afford to miss too many classes.

L: 研究生要缺太多課可不是開(kāi)玩笑的。得了，我看你還是先洗一個(gè)澡，再喝點(diǎn)茶，這樣可能會(huì)好些。

M: Okay, I'll try.

L: Michael，你覺(jué)得怎么樣，好點(diǎn)嗎？快，我們走吧！

M: Li Hua, don't speak so loudly. I still have a headache. I think you get a kick out of watching me suffer.

L: 你說(shuō)什么？你想踢我？

M: No, I said you get a kick out of watching me suffer. That means, you enjoy watching me suffer.

L: 噢，to get a kick out of something意思就是為了什么事感到很開(kāi)心。這個(gè)kick跟踢球的kick是同一個(gè)字嗎？

M: That's right.

L: 我干嗎看見(jiàn)你難受我就高興呢？你是自作自受！

M: I know, I know...you're a good friend. You get a kick out of helping people, not watching them suffer.

L: 這你說(shuō)得還象樣，我才不愿意看見(jiàn)別人難受，我很高興幫助別人。幫助象你這樣的美國(guó)學(xué)生學(xué)中文我就很高興。

M: I'm so useless. I only get a kick out of doing stupid things, like getting wasted or watching old cartoons.

L: 偶然喝醉一次，看看老的卡通片也不能說(shuō)自己沒(méi)有用嘛。你看到你的學(xué)生英語(yǔ)有進(jìn)步，不也讓你很高興嗎？

M: Yes, I guess I do get a kick out of watching my students learn.

L: Michael, 走吧！嗨，看完展覽要不要再去喝個(gè)酩酊大醉呀？

M: Arrrgh! Li Hua, you really do get a kick out of tormenting me. I'll never get wasted for the rest of my life. I promise.

L: 我只是開(kāi)個(gè)玩笑而已。不過(guò)，我倒是希望你這輩子再也不要喝那么多酒了！

別看Michael 昨晚喝醉了，今天還暈乎乎的?？墒撬塘死钊A兩個(gè)很有用的常用語(yǔ)，一個(gè)是：wasted，那是指喝得大醉；另一個(gè)是：to get a kick out of something，那就是為某件事感到很高興。這次的[流行美語(yǔ)]就到此結(jié)束，下次節(jié)目再見(jiàn)。
