随着英语这种语言的普及，英语水平成了大学生走向社会的通行证。为帮助大学生轻松掌握英语知识，特提供以下文章：
L：嗨，这儿好热闹啊!Michael，在爱尔兰酒吧里巨匠喝些什么呢?
M: People normally drink a large beer that is usually served warm.
L：我可从来没喝过热的啤酒，一大杯也喝不了，要一小杯行不行?
M: Well, you can order whatever you want, but I need to bum a couple of dollars, if you don't mind.
L：随便我要什么都行呀!那好，就来一小杯。对了，你适才说若是我不在意的话，你想bum a couple of dollars, 那是什么意思啊?
M: What I mean is, can I borrow a couple of dollars from you.
L：原本你要问我借几块钱!
M: Yes. But don't use this word for big things. For example, you would not ask your friend, “Can I bum your car?”
L：噢，在问别人借大的，象汽车之类的工具时，不能用bum这复笾棘bum只能用在问人借小工具的时辰。
M: Yeah, it's usually used when asking for something small, like a piece of gum or candy.
L：哟，你们美国人，怎么一片口喷香糖，一颗糖还要借啊?莫非真的还要还吗?
M: No, small things you don't need to return, such as gum and candies.
L：这很主要，因为在这种情形下，我们中国人就不说借了，我们概略会说：给一颗糖吧。
M: You are right Li Hua. But if you feel cold at a friend's home and you asked to bum a sweater, then you would return it when you were going to leave.
L：对，若是在伴侣家感应冷要借一件舒服，那一般都应该还的。所以，这要看情形，对不合错误?
M: Yes, if you will let me bum a couple bucks tonight, I promise to pay you back tomorrow.
L：行，行，行，就借你两块钱，你问处事员要酒吧，我来付钱。可明天别忘了还我。
M: Okay. Two beers please!
L：我以前有一个伴侣，每次跟她一路出去，不管去看片子，仍是去喝咖啡，她老是问我捐钱。
M: A girl I used to hang out with acted the same way. Whenever a group of us went out, she would always ask to bum money. It got to be a real turn-off.
L：你也碰着过这样的人哪?等等，a real turn-off? 这是什么意思呀?把什么工具关失踪?
M: No, a turn-off is something that repels someone.
L：噢，是一个让人厌恶的什么工具。是不是指一小我的性格里有什么处所让你不喜欢他?
M: Yes, that's right. Let me give you an example. Your ex-boyfriend always smoked cigarettes around you, that was a real turn-off.
L：是啊，我以前的男伴侣跟我在一路的时辰老是抽烟，那真是厌恶。
M: A girl I once dated always interrupted me whenever I was talking. That was a real turn-off
L：对，你告诉过我，你畴前的女伴侣老是打断你的话，让你很厌恶。我还有一个伴侣把脏衣服在房间里处处乱扔，that was also a turn-off.
M: See, you've learned how to use turn-off. By the way, I also have dirty clothes lying around my apartment. Does that bother you?
L：哼，你也把脏衣服处处乱扔?你若是不扫除乾净的话，别想请我到你家去。
M: Ok, I'll try to clean it up.
