第16课:有礼貌的 - 15

迷你小对话

A: Boy, did you see Rachel at the cocktail party? She is nothing but a social butterfly.
B: Yes, I noticed, but did you notice that she left with Benjamin Wiggins? He put on suave act he is so good at, looked real classy.
A: So she thought he was some kind of blue blood?
B: Oh yeah, he convinced her that the party was a bit low-brow.

A: 天哪,你在鸡尾酒会上看到Rachel的表现了吗?她简直就是个交际花。
B: 看到了。你注意到她和Bejamin Wiggins离开了吗?他装出一幅他所擅长的温文尔雅的样子,看上去还真像个有档次的人。
A: 你说她把他当成名门望族了?
B: 没错,他使她坚信这个聚会不够档次。
