英语博客:ESL Podcast 823 – Dealing With a Bothersome Person(在线收听

   Melissa: I hate that guy Reuben. He’s always getting in my face.

 
  Conan: Ooh, I sense some serious sexual tension between the two of you.
 
  Melissa: Sexual tension? Are you out of your mind? He does nothing but give me a hard time.
 
  Conan: That’s because he’s trying to get your attention.
 
  Melissa: If he likes me, why doesn’t he try to get my attention by showing off, like every other guy?
 
  Conan: Maybe he’s trying to stand out among your many admirers.
 
  Melissa: Don’t be stupid. I don’t have a lot of admirers and I don’t want one who makes my life miserable!
 
  Conan: Maybe if you throw him a bone, then he’ll stop his antics.
 
  Melissa: What kind of a bone?
 
  Conan: Ask him to the movies Saturday night.
 
  Melissa: Me, ask him out? You’re certifiable!
 
  Conan: I’m telling you that if you ask him out, he’ll stop pestering you.
 
  Melissa: Putting aside the fact that I find him repulsive, if I ask him out, he’ll make me the laughingstock of this place.
 
  Conan: I don’t think so. He’ll get what he wants and he’ll stop pestering you.
 
  Melissa: What if it backfires and he bothers me even more?
 
  Conan: Then you’ll get what you want – deep down!
