Sometimes when you watch VCD, you will find it is hard to understand the real meaning of their words. That is because a lot of words we have learned are out of date. For example, we know that 电影 is ‘movie’, but now in American oral English it is called ‘flick’. Also ‘clothes’ is changed by ‘getup’ or ‘duds’. And ‘mosh’ or ‘boogie’ means ‘dance’. ‘Money’ and ‘dollar’ are too formal, in usual instead of ‘buck’.
Now play a game.
There are some hyper-trendy words. Guess what’s the meaning of them. Chinese and English are both. If you are right, our pretty host will award you a prize. J It’s easy.
