第8课:悲伤的 - 10

迷你小对话1

A: I haven’t seen you around campus recently, Bill.
B: No, I’ve been feeling pretty low since I failed my midterms. I haven’t really felt like going out to do anything.

A: Bill,最近怎么没在学校见过你?
B: 期中考试考砸之后,我的情绪一直很低落,不想出去做任何事情。

迷你小对话2

A: Have I made the professor angry? I saw him in the cafeteria yesterday, but when I smiled at him, he didn’t smile back.
B: No, that’s just his way. He’s always been moody. If he had smiled back, that would be big news.

A: 我是不是哪儿得罪教授了?昨天在自助餐厅里,我冲他微笑,可他没搭理我。
B: 不是,他就那样,老是一副闷闷不乐的样子。如果他冲你微笑了,那才稀奇呢。
