第9課：幽默的 - 10

【迷你小對(duì)話】

A: I can’t believe you started giggling in a business meeting!
B: I couldn’t help it. I was trying to be serious, but when I saw Mrs. Ashford’s face after she drank the cold coffee you gave her, it just cracked me up. I had a hard time just keeping a straight face when she picked it up. I thought she would never actually drink it.

A: 真不敢相信你竟然在商業(yè)會(huì)議上傻笑起來！
B: 我實(shí)在是忍不住了。我是想嚴(yán)肅點(diǎn)，可看了Ashford夫人喝了你給她的冷咖啡的表情后，就再也忍不住了。她舉起杯的時(shí)候我硬是板著臉不笑。我以為她根本不會(huì)喝的。
