無意間聽到同事對話

Tom︰So, that’s why I’d never date any of the women in this office.

湯姆︰所以，這就是我不和辦公室的女生約會的原因。

Nicole︰Oh my God, Jane. Do you hear what Tom and Jack are talking about？

妮可︰天啊，阿珍。妳聽到湯姆和傑克說的話了嗎？

Jane︰Yeah. I can’t believe they’d say that stuff.


阿珍︰有啊。真不敢相信他們竟然談論這種事。

Nicole︰Do you think we should call them on it？

妮可︰妳認為我們應該當面質問他們嗎？
Jane︰If we do, then they’ll know we were eavesdropping.

阿珍︰如果這么做的話，他們就會知道我們在偷聽。

Nicole︰That’s true, but they’re being so rude. We ought to teach them a lesson.

妮可︰這倒是，但他們真的很沒品。我們應該給他們一個教訓。

Jane︰Oh, it’s just guy talk. They’re just trying to show off for one another.

阿珍︰噢，那只是男生說話的方式。他們只是要向別人炫耀罷了。
