Larry: No problem. I'll ask him to help you get the internship at his company.

LH: Awesome! Now I'm stoked! Larry, 讓我們投入戰斗吧！

Larry和李華精心準備的派對開始了，可是卻出了點小狀況……

LH: Larry，牛肉餅烤得怎么樣啦？我等著做漢堡包呢！

Larry: Not too bad. They're just cooking a little slower than I thought. I guess my grill is too small. It's OK, though! I'm still stoked for the party!

LH: Larry！你看看，燒烤架下面根本就沒有火！你是不是沒有瓦斯啦？

Larry: Oh, no! You're right! What a bummer!

LH: Bummer? 你是說bum，懶鬼嗎？

Larry: No. Not bum, bummer! A bummer is bad news, or something that makes you upset - like running out of gas when you need to cook for 40 people!

LH: 哦！A bummer就是壞消息。瓦斯用完，你沒法烤肉, 真是個好大的bummer啊。不過你也不用著急，現在只有一個客人，就是你那個高中同學，現在很紅的那個DJ。

Larry: Wait a minute. This music is from our DJ? This music is for little kids - I thought the neighbors must be having a birthday party for their five-year-old daughter.

LH: 不是，你聽到的就是DJ放的音樂，他說他的專長就是給學校活動造氣氛，所以用的都是兒童音樂……

Larry: What a bummer!! Ugh, this party is turning into a disaster! No one's here, I can't cook the food, and the DJ sounds like he's from Sesame Street!

LH: 沒關系，只要你朋友Brian能來，我就知足啦！我可得好好表現，爭取讓他給我實習的機會！I'm really stoked to meet him!

Larry: I don't know, Lihua. No one has showed up! I was so stoked about this party.... now the whole thing is just a big bummer. (Sigh) Maybe I wrote the wrong date on the invitation...(doorbell rings)

Larry: Brian is here.

LH: Oh thank god.

Larry: Hey Brian, how are you?

Brian: Hey, Larry, good to see you again! This must be Lihua. I've heard so much about you!

LH: Oh, really...All good things, I hope.

Larry: Actually, Lihua is looking for an internship this summer. Do you think your company would have an opening for her?

Brian: My company? I didn't tell you, Larry? I left my job a year ago. I'm a grad student now!

LH: 啊啊啊？你一年前就辭職不干啦？現在回學校念書去了？What a bummer!
