第23课：不诚实的 - 17

【迷你小对话1】

A: My brother was always disobeying me, but he never got in trouble for it.
B: Mine, too. He was always so smooth-tongued that he could talk his way out of anything, and my parents believed him!

A: 我的弟弟总是不听我的话，但他从没惹过麻烦。
B: 我弟弟也是。他总是巧舌如簧，把任何事情都说得跟他无关似的，我爸妈就信了。

【迷你小对话2】

A: Do you think Fredericka really likes me?
B: No. You are the boss and she is on the make.

A: 你认为Fredericka真的喜欢我吗？
B: 我可不这么认为。你是老板，她只是为达到自己的目的而不择手段。
