迷你小对话1

A: Do you think I should buy a car from that company?
B: No, I heard they were shady. They’ve cheated almost everyone they’ve sold to.

A: 你认为我应该买那家公司的车吗?
B: 不,我听说他们黑着呢,买他们的车的顾客都上当了。

迷你小对话2

A: Why aren’t you voting for Bill Clinton? Don’t you agree with his politics?
B: Oh, I agree with what he says. I just can’t vote for someone who is so shifty-eyed. He doesn’t look like someone I could trust.

A: 为什么你不投Bill Clinton的票呢?难道你不赞同他的政见吗?
B: 噢,我同意他说的话。我只是不想投票给眼睛乱转的人而已。他看上去不像是个可疑信任的人。

语言点精讲

shady: 可疑的,靠不住的,名声不好的。
shifty-eyed: 眼睛骨碌碌乱转的。形容某人看起来鬼鬼祟祟的、不值得信任。
