第21课：怯懦的 - 14

【迷你小对话1】

A: Did you see Fred when he got up to give his oral presentation?
B: Yeah, poor guy. He was frozen, like a deer caught in a hunter’s spotlight.

A: Fred站起来做口头陈述的时候你看到了吗？
B: 看到了。可怜的家伙，吓得僵在那儿了，活像个被猎人的聚光灯照到的小鹿。

【迷你小对话2】

A: I want to ask Natasha out, but every time I walk towards her, she just goes the other direction.
B: Don’t worry; it doesn’t mean she doesn’t like you. It’s just that she is a bit skittish around men since she broke up with Dave.

A: 我想约Natasha出去，可是每次我一走近她，她总是扭头就走。
B: 别担心，这并不意味她不喜欢你。自从她和Dave分手后，见到男人她就紧张。
