SCENE③ C  吉娜在文斯的隔间找到了他 


【他是间谍?】

文斯:         你说什么?


 


Zina:           I won't say who, because I'm not sure yet. But I'll know soon.

Vince:  Dave then? Dave is a spy for WebTracker? You can't be serious.

语言详解


 


A: We schemed for hours to come up with this plan for a surprise party.


   我们计划了好久,才想出惊喜派对这点子。


 


B: Well, it worked. I'm surprised!


   嗯,它成功了。我真惊讶!


 


【make someone look bad 让某人没面子】


 


make someone look bad是“让(某人)难看、没面子”的意思,这个表达法在日常生活中常常可以听到。


 


Father: So, Kelly, tell us about your latest adventure with the police.


爸爸: 那么,凯莉,跟大家说说你最近一次跟警察的遭遇。


Kelly:    Dad, stop trying to make me look bad in front of my friends.


凯莉: 爸,你别在我朋友面前让我没面子嘛。


 


不过一直让别人的面子挂不住也不是办法,有时也要 make someone look good“让(某人)有面子”。


 


A: Why are you telling Allen all these good things about me?


     你怎么净跟艾伦说我的好话?


B: I was just trying to make you look good.


     我只是想让你有面子啊。


 


1) pardon? “请再说一次。” 这句话用于没听清楚对方所言,请对方重复的时候。念起来时,语尾应如问句般上扬。


2) scheme (v.)  施诡计


3) loan (v.)  借贷 



1 loan
n.贷款;借出的东西;借;vt.借出;贷予
  • I asked the bank to help me with a loan.我请银行给我一笔贷款。
  • Has the bank okayed your request for a loan?银行批准你的贷款要求了吗?
