全网最酷美语怎么说:第9期 考砸了

Nick:Hi everybody, this is Nick. Welcome to teaching series "how do you say this in American English."
Nick:大家好，我是Nick.
Brad:大家好，我是Brad
Nick：我们今天来讲一个很常用的词组，"考砸了"。其实这个是发生在很多人身上。比如说很多学生他们大测，就是大的测验，不多。但是小测特别多。或者说大的考试，其实有些人也很多。这种情况下，你要是没有复习充分或者记错时间，你就会考砸，对不对。那比如我上次的法语考试，像往常一样我跑去教室，谈笑风生。最后发现居然考砸了，因为我不知道居然有考试。我压根就没有复习。非常惨痛的一个教训。Remember what I told you before, I had a French exam. It was on Monday. I went to class as usually. I talked funny stuff with my classmates. We were like talking and laughing. And then they asked me one question, which scared me. They were like, "hey Nick." I was like, "what?" "Did you study for the exam?"
Brad: Oh and you thought that was a joke. You thought they were messing with you.
Nick: Yeah, I was like, "no, why?" Because we don't have finals right now. it's gonna be a long time. And then they were like," No, it's a quiz, which is today." I was like, "How?! Are you kidding me??" They were like, "No" Obviously, I bombed that exam coz I didn't review that, I didn't hit the books.
Brad: I had a similar experience when I talked about in last section, about messing up the dates.
Nick: oh yeah the last lesson.
Brad: Yeah my quiz was on Tuesday. I completely bombed that. I don't think I got a single question right. We didn't get to erasing it. But it was so bad. It's just the test was just, or the quiz was awful. I hate bombing quizzes. Bombing quizzes is just the worst.
Nick: Yeah the worst thing in the world. And I feel like at that time, I was talking. After they told me that, I was like, "I'm so gonna fail the exam." And I did, I bombed that exam. 刚刚我说就是我因为没有及时复习，然后bombed the exam，就是说把考试考砸了。然后Brad呢他也是。就像上一期我们讲过mess up，还记得吗？Brad就说过这个例子。那现在也是，同样的，这个词组也可以用在那个例子之中。因为他考砸了嘛, "bomb the exam." B-o-m-b，注意这个b不发音。不要发成bomB. There's no bomB, right? The B is silent.
Brad: It roughly yes, it's in there very subtly. You don't say bomB. Less strange is bomb-you say it out with one breath. You don't use your tongue a lot. With your lips-it's called bomb.
Nick: 那这个就是一个发音的诀窍。大家要注意，千万不要发成bomB. This is gonna be so funny when you pronounce like bomB.
Brad: This is fine. It's a little strange.
Nick: It's strange. 大家要注意，不要发音错误。那今天就是一个主要内容。 Hope you guys can learn it. I'll see you guys next time.
Brad: Bye, everyone.
