【你别欲擒故纵了】

吉娜: 不,戴夫。我的吉普没有撞毁。我打来是要提供你工作机会的。
Dave: With InfoKing? No, thanks.
戴夫: 去“资讯王”?免了吧,多谢。
Zina: I'd like you to manage a new online auction site we're building.
吉娜: 我希望你能管理我们新架设中的线上竞标网站。

戴夫: 我没兴趣,吉娜。
Zina: Don't play hard to get. The 2) pay is good. You'd be working with Elvin again.

吉娜: 艾文并没有怀恨在心,若你是在担心这个的话。
语言详解:
A: Life is too short to hold grudges. C'mon, talk to me again.
人生苦短,何须心怀怨恨。来嘛,再跟我说话。
B: Well, if you put it that way...

【play hard to get 欲擒故纵】
在人际的关系当中,好比男女关系或是聘雇之间的关系,有时候一方会采取不置可否的态度,让人觉得对方若即若离的,在要与不要之间,真叫人拿捏不定。也许你会觉得对方其实是想要,只是爱欲擒故纵、搞神秘,这种情况在美语中就可以用 play hard to get “欲擒故纵”来形容。
A: I don't think Lisa likes me.
我不觉得莉莎喜欢我。
B: Yes, she does. She's just playing hard to get.
不,她喜欢你。她只是欲擒故纵。
1) offer (v.) 提供(工作机会等)
2) pay (n.) 薪水,酬劳
