第693期:超尬 當你假裝自己聽不懂外語時
不知道你們有沒有過這種經歷-當你不小心聽到別人議論你時，卻被對方發現。但其實更讓人尬的是，你用自以爲別人聽不懂的方言/語言大聲評價對方，卻極其反轉的發現，被你議論的那個人也掌握了這種方言/語言。呵呵，這種感覺真是酸爽。
國外的網友們分享了一些類似的經歷，相信你隔着屏幕都能感受到一絲尷尬...

Latino guys
I'm Swiss and Peruvian and I live in Peru, so I don't look at all like a Swiss guy. There were two Swiss girls sitting behind me on a bus talking about Latino guys. Then one of them asked the other if she found me attractive. I turned around and said that I would love to know that too. The look of confusion and shame was priceless. Then we just all laughed. Now I've got two new friends!
我是瑞士和祕魯的混血兒，我住在祕魯，看起來也不太像瑞士人。我在坐公交車的時候，有兩個瑞士的女孩，就在我後面討論拉丁裔人。然後其中一個女孩就問對方覺得我怎麼樣。結果我轉身說我也很想知道。結果她們倆都驚呆了，然後我們就都笑了，現在我多了兩個新的朋友。
An ego boost
I was at a hotel bar in NY and a Russian couple were sitting a few chairs down from me talking about what they should do for the evening. So I suggested that they go to Rockefeller center to see the tree (it was a couple days before Christmas) and try and find some carolers/Christmas music performances to listen to.
我當時在紐約的一家旅館酒吧，一對俄羅斯夫婦坐在我旁邊，聊着晚上該怎麼辦。所以我建議他們去洛克菲勒中心看聖誕樹（那是聖誕節前幾天），試着找些聖誕頌歌/聖誕音樂表演來聽。
They were shocked an American could speak Russian and they were super pleasant people. They bought me a drink and talked about their impressions of NY for 20 minutes or so before they went out for the night. I was able to give them some advice and they gave me an ego boost by complimenting my Russian.
他們對美國人會說俄語感到震驚，而且他們人超好，請我喝了一杯，和我聊了20分鐘左右他們對紐約的印象後就出去了。我能給他們一些建議，而他們稱讚我的俄語更是讓我信心滿滿。
