他们的新车看来是辆伪劣产品。

使用名词“lemon”在这里是一个非正式的表达方式，在口语中却很常用。表示某物很差劲，不能让人满意或有瑕疵。英文的解释就是“One that is unsatisfactory or defective”。和汉语中的“水货”表达的意思有些相近。和这个名词的本意“柠檬”已经相差十万八千里了。
例句：
This flat is a real lemon.I've bought it for only a year and already had it repaired four times.
这公寓可真是十足的蹩脚货，我才刚买一年就都修了四次了。

昨日参考：

1. He traveled afoot
2. Many animals and birds are now extinct。
3. This fossil may be over 2 million years old
4. I feel sorry to you, but I can't help you out this time.
Help sb. out 帮助某人解决难题
5. My secretary is a real treasure.( an absolute gem)
6.Tickets for the football match were at a premium.(英译汉)
那场足球赛的门票需求量很大，很难搞到手。
be at a premium 需求量很大；奇缺

对话
Walt: Thank goodness the ads are over. They go on for far too long.
Ingo: Yes, there'll be just a few trailers and then the movie will start.
Walt: I don't mind trailers, at least they're not trying to sell you anything.
Ingo: Of course they are, they're trying to sell you the latest movies.
Walt: Well, I suppose so, but they're a lot more exciting than the ads.
Ingo: If you ask me, they're sometimes a lot more exciting than the movies themselves.
华尔：谢天谢地，广告终于播放完了。广告时间实在太长。
英戈：没错，再播几部预告片，电影就会开始。
华尔：我不介意看预告片；至少预告片不是要推销什么东西。
英戈：怎么不是。预告片就是要推销最新的电影。
华尔：嗯，也许是吧，但预告片比广告好看得多。
英戈：依我看，预告片有时比电影本身都好看得多。

电影院放映电影前，一般先播广告，再播电影预告片。广告当然是advertisement，简称为ad或advert；广告片则可叫做advertising film，例如：The commercial received high praise at the Advertising Film Festival（那部电视广告片在广告电影节中大获赞赏）。留意电视台、广播电台播出的广告，美式英文叫commercial，英式则叫advertisement或commercial。报刊广告则无论英美都叫advertisement，不可叫commercial。国际广告电影节包括电视广告。Some commercials on television are quite interesting即‘有些电视广告片颇为有趣’。电影院放映的电影预告片，叫trailer或preview，但preview还可以指电影的试映，或称sneak preview，例如：(1) I was invited to a (sneak) preview of the new movie（我获邀观看那部新电影的试映）。(2) Trailers for a few upcoming movies were shown, but they did not appeal to me（电影院放映了未来几部电影的预告片，但都不能引起我的兴趣）。（Sneak有‘偷偷的’、‘非正式的’含义，I despise those who make sneak attacks on others即 ‘我看不起偷偷攻击别人’。最后谈谈英戈说的if you ask me。这词组直译是‘假如你问我’，常用来带出自己的意见，等于‘我认为’，例如：If you ask me, she is not as carefree as she appears（依我看，她并不是像她表面上那样无忧无虑的）。

1938年，超人第一次漫画书中。开始时作者并没有给他强大的力量。他可以挡住子弹，但可能会被大炮射来的炮弹击倒。几年中，作者决定让他更强壮。他们给他X光的视觉，然后给他可以飞的能力。如今他们把他搞得更加强壮。他现在甚至可以抵挡核爆的力量。

一个如此浪漫的法国小女人的可爱之作

长相并不出众的SoKo...整张专集以简简单单的配乐...就这样简简单单地轻轻哼唱...让这张轻快的法国民谣溢满了浪漫与俏皮...

Shitty Day

歌词：
I hate myself today.
I don’t know what’s happening to me.
I hate my face today.
I think I look so shitty.

I have some sweat everywhere.
I’m not even shaved.
My hair all greasy.
I look disgusting.

My eyes are glued.
My lips are chaffed.
My legs are prickling.
And plus I’m stinky today.

How can I date someone with a face like that?
I know you’re gonna dump me again,
And I am gonna cry.

Cuz you want a perfect girl,
And I’m not what you expected.
You want a perfect girl,
And I look shitty today.

Maybe I should put some makeup,
And find some crazy outfits.
But I am very tired today
And I don’t care if I’m not pretty.

Should be like these girls,
Skinny and great all the time.
I’m still wearing my slippers
And eat all the candies at home.

I should sleep more,
And stop going out everyday.
I should focus more,
And stop complaining today.

Tell me, How can I date someone with a face like that?
I know you’re gonna dump me again,
And I am gonna cry.

Cuz you want a perfect girl,
And I’m not so perfect.
You want a perfect girl,
And I look shitty today.

Tell me, how can I date someone with a face like that?
I know you’re gonna dump me,
And I am gonna cry.
