第14课:亲切的 - 16
【迷你小对话】
A: You know the new director is a real hard-nose.
B: You think so? I’ll bet it’s a front. Lots of softhearted people put on an act.
A: You mean like a man of straw under a hard shell?
B: Yeah, he probably goes all soft and gushy at the first sign of tears.
A: Maybe, but I won’t be the one to try that out.
B: You are too kind!
A: 跟你说吧,新来的主任真难应付。
B: 你这样觉得?我敢说那只是表面现象。有很多人都是色厉内荏。。
A: 你是说他强硬的外表下有着一颗软弱的心?
B: 恐怕他一见眼泪,心就会软下来大动感情的。
A: 也许吧,不过我是不会去验证的。
B: 你也太善良了。
