那么你前兩天晚上的相親怎么樣？

B: Not that great. I mean he was nice and all. But there was something about him.

不是太好，我是說(shuō)他還不錯(cuò)，就是有些地方怪怪的。

A: What? You make him sound like he was hiding something. Was he shifty?

怎么？聽(tīng)你這么說(shuō)，他好像隱瞞了什么事情，他狡猾嗎？

不狡猾，他好像只是太緊張了，就像隱瞞了什么事情似的。

A: Maybe he was just nervous about the blind date.

也許他只是個(gè)神經(jīng)緊張的人，或者也許他實(shí)際上已經(jīng)結(jié)婚了。
