【话匣子英语】尴尬时刻

 毛拉和哈皮谈起了令人感到尴尬的时刻，毛拉说刚才在录音之前，自己差点因为失去平衡而摔倒，索性面对的是哈皮，不然好尴尬啊。

Harp¹: Yes. Today we’re going to talk about embarrassing moments.

 

Maura: Embarrassing moments.

 

Harp: The funniest is that we started this episode with an embarrassing moment

from you.

 

Maura: Yeah. We just recorded another episode, and while we were recording², I was

sitting kind of strangely on this little bench we’re sitting on, and I fell over. I

lost my balance. But I wasn’t that embarrassed, because everyone here is a

friend. I would be more embarrassed if I was with strangers.

 

Harp: No, exactly. We all just laughed it off.

 

Maura: Yeah, yeah. It was funny. I laughed too. So, we’re going to start today’s

episode by talking about some typical embarrassing moments that lots of

people experience and lots of people would be embarrassed by.

 

Harp: And then we’re going to talk about how people react to embarrassing

moments.

 

Maura: Right. Some people get more embarrassed than others, so we’ll talk about that. And the last thing we’re going to talk about is our own embarrassing moments.

 

Harp: And we have quite a few embarrassing moments.

 

Maura: OK. So let’s first start with some classic embarrassing moments. The one that comes to my mind first is to be flying low.

 

Harp: To be flying low. I love it.
