    你们俩怎么没再去约会了?


 


B: It's too awkward 2 to be alone with her.

【That's a personal question. 那是私人的问题】


 


有些人明明跟你不熟,却喜欢问东问西,连不该问的感情、薪资、体重、三围、家庭状况、对某人的好恶、政治倾向……都想探听。下次当你遇到这种不识相的人,而他又问了你不愿回答的问题时,就可以回他这一句。

B: That's kind of a personal question.


   这是私人问题。


 


【I didn't mean to be... 我并非故意……】

   好在你不是歌星,不然你一定赚不到钱。


B: What?


   什么?


A: I didn't mean to be rude. I was just kidding.


   我并不是故意那么没礼貌。我只是开玩笑。
