第21課：怯懦的 - 14

【迷你小對(duì)話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站起來做口頭陳述的時(shí)候你看到了嗎？
B: 看到了。可憐的家伙，嚇得僵在那兒了，活像個(gè)被獵人的聚光燈照到的小鹿。

【迷你小對(duì)話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: 我想約Natasha出去，可是每次我一走近她，她總是扭頭就走。
B: 別擔(dān)心，這并不意味她不喜歡你。自從她和Dave分手后，見到男人她就緊張。
