L: 我以前有一个朋友，每次跟她一起出去，不管去看电影，还是去喝咖啡，她总是问我借钱。
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: 你也碰到过这样的人哪？ 等等，a real turn-off? 这是什么意思 呀？把什么东西关掉？
M: No, a turn-off is something that repels someone.
L: 噢， 是一个让人讨厌的什么东西。 是不是指一个人的性格里有什么地方让你不喜欢他？
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，我以前的男朋友跟我在一起的时候老是抽烟，那真是讨厌。
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，你从前的女朋友老是打断你的话，让你很讨厌。 我还有一个朋友把脏衣服在房间里到处乱扔， 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，你也把脏衣服到处乱扔？你要是不打扫乾净的话，别想请我到你家去。
M: Ok, I'll try to clean it up.
各位听众，今天李华从Michael 那里学到了两个常用语，一个是： to bum，意思是借钱或其他东西；另一个是：a turn-off，意思是让人讨厌的地方。
