PETS-2每日對話練習(xí) 295

字號:

Mr. Ho and Rita get into the elevator together and leave
    Lucy: Did you see that? Do you think she is trying to get into bed with him?
    Troy: I wouldn't put anything past that woman. Her head was so far up his butt, they looked like a four-legged animal.
    Lucy: You know, it really gets my panties in a wad. She is so sickly sweet to the boss...
    Troy: ...and never has a kind word to say to us.
    Lucy: Do you think that's just sour grapes speaking because she was promoted over us?
    Troy: Maybe a little, but she IS a grade A brownnoser.
    (續(xù)上期,下期續(xù))
    侯先生和莉塔一起進(jìn)入電梯離開
    露西:你有瞧見嗎?你想她是不是努力想跟他上床?
    特洛伊:這女人什么事都做得出來。她的頭都貼在他*上了,他們看起來就像一頭四腳獸。
    露西:這真的讓我氣到抓狂,她對老板真是惡心嘴甜到不行……
    特洛伊:……而且絕對不會對我們吐出一句好話。
    露西:你認(rèn)為因為她升遷高過我們,那么說就是酸葡萄心理嗎?
    特洛伊:或許有一點,但是她 ‘的確’是個A級馬*精。
    重點解說:
    ★ four-legged animal 用四雙腳站立的動物,對比于用兩腳站立的人類被稱為two-legged animal,文中消遺莉塔‘她頭都快貼到他*’,言下之意是兩人都連在一起,就像四腳獸
    ★ get one's panties in a wad (俚)氣到抓狂
    ★ sour grapes 酸葡萄心理
    ★ promote (v.) 晉升。be promoted over 晉升超越過
    ★ grade (n.) 等級
    ★ brownnoser (n.) 馬*精
