LH: 对,别人不守交通规则,咱不能跟他们一般见识,和他们一块儿违章开车。
Larry: Exactly. If they want to be unsafe, let them be unsafe by themselves.
LH: 对了,Larry, 刚才咱们排队的时候,后面一群女生在议论你的新鞋。
Larry: My shoes? What did they say??
LH: 呃....她们在嘲笑你的鞋子老土……不过没关系,我忍了,什么都没说,我不能跟她们一般见识,叽叽喳喳说人坏话,你说对吧?
Larry: My shoes? Out of style? That's so rude. I'm glad you didn't stoop down to their level. If I had heard them, I might not have been able to control myself. Why, I would......
LH: Larry! 你怎么啦?!咱们刚才不是才说么,不要想到什么就说什么!
Larry: You're right. I wouldn't want to stoop down to their level.
LH: 要不,咱们还是给你买双新鞋吧!
Larry: New shoes? What, you don't like these either?
LH: Um, I....
Larry: Yes?
LH: 我想我还是bite my tongue吧!
Larry: It doesn't work if I already know what you are going to say! (Sigh) OK. There's a shoe store. Let's hope the cashier there is having a better day.
今天李华学了两个常用语。一个是bite your tongue,表示“忍着不说话”。另一个是stoop down to one's level, 意思是“跟某人一般见识”。
