苏菲：是吗？我还不知道。
jane: if you weren't so devious, i would have held all the trump cards for this bidding,and i wouldn't be demoted.
简：要不是你做了手脚，这次竞标我势在必得，也不会被撤职。
sophie: what? you mean it's me that caused your failure? do you have any proof? if not, that is venomous slander.
苏菲：什么？你的意思是是因为我你才竞标失败的？你有证据吗？如果没有，那就是恶毒的污蔑。
jane: proof? look at these photos and tell me that's not you. you gave away our company's secrets to our competitor in order to defeat me.
简：证据是吗？你看看这些照片上是不是你，你为了打败我，竟然向我们的竞争对手泄露消息。
sophie: that's impossible. how did you get these pictures?
苏菲：不可能，你怎么会有这些照片？
jane: well, the day has eyes, the night has ears. i can't imagine what our boss will think if he sees these.
简：哼，若要人不知，除非己莫为。真无法想象老板看了这些照片，会怎么想。

my bad!
表达歉意时，我们经常会用 my fault! my mistake!不过要是用my bad!（对不起）的话，首次接触这种用法的人多少会感到有些新鲜。my bad! 用于非正式道歉的语境中，是对很熟的朋友说的，而且发生的事也不是很严重，比如是不小心踩了脚这样的小事。据说，这种用法起源于篮球运动，在美国城市的贫民窟地带使用尤为广泛。当球员犯规或球出界后，往往会脱口而出 my bad!表示歉意。后来黑人青年把这个用法带入了职业体育运动中。my bad!的用法是自从1995年的影片《独领风骚》播映后才流行起来的。虽然近来 my bad! 不如90年代中期使用得那么频繁了，不过在俚语（尤其是在体育方面）中仍占有一席之地。而且人们在网上聊天时也经常使用。 ↑返回顶部↑
