PETS－2每日对话练习295

　　Mr. Ho and Rita get into the elevator together and leave
　　Lucy: Did you see that? Do you think she is trying to get into bed with him?
　　Troy: I wouldn't put anything past that woman. Her head was so far up his butt, they looked like a four-legged animal.
　　Lucy: You know, it really gets my panties in a wad. She is so sickly sweet to the boss...
　　Troy: ...and never has a kind word to say to us.
　　Lucy: Do you think that's just sour grapes speaking because she was promoted over us?
　　Troy: Maybe a little, but she IS a grade A brownnoser.

　　侯先生和莉塔一起进入电梯离开
　　露西：你有瞧见吗？你想她是不是努力想跟他上床？
　　特洛伊：这女人什么事都做得出来。她的头都贴在他*上了，他们看起来就像一头四脚兽。
　　露西：这真的让我气到抓狂，她对老板真是恶心嘴甜到不行……
　　特洛伊：……而且绝对不会对我们吐出一句好话。
　　露西：你认为因为她升迁高过我们，那么说就是酸葡萄心理吗？
　　特洛伊：或许有一点，但是她 ‘的确’是个A级马*精。
　　重点解说：
　　★ four-legged animal 用四双脚站立的动物，对比于用两脚站立的人类被称为two-legged animal，文中消遗莉塔‘她头都快贴到他*’，言下之意是两人都连在一起，就像四脚兽
　　★ get one's panties in a wad （俚）气到抓狂
　　★ sour grapes 酸葡萄心理
　　★ promote (v.) 晋升。be promoted over 晋升超越过
　　★ grade (n.) 等级
　　★ brownnoser (n.) 马*精
