Reader question:
In this paragraph – What a bummer! A study by the British Medical Journal reveals that although the Wii game console offers more activity than passive videogames, it is no replacement for real exercise – what does "What a bummer" mean?
My comments:
What a disappointment! How sad!
A bummer, as in "that's a bummer", means a frustrating experience, something disappointing happening, especially when you have not expected it coming.
Here's a real bummer – Yao Ming will not play another game for the rest of the season because of a stress fracture in his left foot.
At any rate, that's a major bummer for me, a Yao fan. I was on my way to have dinner with a few friends on Wednesday when one of them asked me to pick a restaurant. "Any will do," I blurted. "Yao Ming's injured again and I don't have an appetite."
One friend, who plays basketball also, murmured: "I understand." His wife, though, was less sympathetic. "Ah well," she said, "just another fanatic!" Apparently, she thought it was a poor joke – how could Yao's injury, or healthy, affect our dinner?
It was no joke to me. I ate that dinner without relish. You see, the Rockets have just won 13 games in a row – the longest winning streak by any team in the NBA right now and the Rockets' longest winning streak since their championship years in the mid-1990s.
Then this!
【Oh, what a bummer!】相关文章:
