Jessica在北京学汉语，她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教她。今天是小北要问的：摆臭脸。 XB: Jessica，今天我可是太丢人了! Jessica: What happened? XB: 我在图书馆里戴着耳机听电脑里的音乐，结果发现大家都在皱着眉头看我，最后图书管理员过来说，请你把音乐关掉!原来我的耳机没插牢，音乐声都跑出来了! Jessica: Oh! That's why people were mean mugging you! XB: 啊?什么意思? Jessica: To mean mug someone means to give someone an angry look. XB: 啊，mean mug someone就是冲某人摆臭脸。I was wondering why everyone in the library was mean mugging me! Jessica: You can also use the phrase "to give someone an evil eye." It also means to glare at someone with a lot of anger and hatred. XB: I see. Give someone an evil eye就是“恨恨地瞪着别人。那天我在银行，someone cut in line. Oh, you should have seen the evil eye everybody gave him! Jessica: 在银行插队被人瞪?活该! XB: I agree! 对了，话说今天我学习了一天，发觉我的电脑实在太慢了，我打算跟我爸张口，让他送我一台新的! Jessica: Didn't your Dad just pay for your trip to Hong Kong? |
