A: Your cat is beautiful. She’s so peaceful, so languorous there in the sun.
B: Well, just because she looks incurious does not mean she is!
A: Why? Does she chase mice at night?
B: Oh, no! On the subject of mice she is lukewarm, but show her a mosquito and she goes crazy!

B: 她只是看上去沒好奇心罷了,實際上可不是!
A: 怎么?她晚上抓老鼠?
B: 噢,不是!她對老鼠不感興趣,不過要是有只蚊子,那她可就瘋狂了。
