2014年ESL之就医和人际交往 04 Attracting Someone’s Interest

 

Attracting Someone’s Interest 

Angie: Ooh, it looks like Joanna has her sights set on you. Look at how she’s giving you the eye. 

Kenji: Is she? I hadn’t noticed. 

Angie: Watch out, she usually gets what she wants and she doesn’t take no for an answer. 

Kenji: I’m not interested in Joanna at all. She’s not my type. 

Angie: Then you’re the only one. Every guy I know thinks she’s hot. She has a bunch of them at her beck and call. 

Kenji: Then she won’t care if I don’t take an interest in her. I don’t like women who behave as though they’re God’s gift to men. 

Angie: Don’t look now, but she’s making a beeline for you. 

Kenji: Then that’s my cue¹ to beat a speedy exit. 

Angie: Are you sure you want to give her the brush off? 

Kenji: I’m sure. That’s one woman I don’t want to tangle² with.
