英语播客初级版 第208期(外教讲解):描述个性

A: OK, class, settle down. I have the results of your individual personality tests. I am going to hand them out and if you’d like, you can read them out loud to the rest of the class.
B: I’ll read mine!
A: OK, go ahead.
B: It says here that I am adventurous, outgoing and easy-going. It says that I am a little superstitious and occasionally naive! That’s not true!
A: The test isn’t one-hundred percent accurate. Is that all it says?
B: No! It also says that I am open-minded with great ambition but that I can also be reckless and clumsy. This is stupid!
A: OK, anyone else want to read theirs?
C: I’ll go! It says that I am an extroverted, well-balanced person. It says I am generous, outspoken, and very diligent. This is so true! It also says that I am magnanimous, eloquent and daring! This is totally me!
A: Whatever, these tests are bologna!

A: 好的，读吧。
B: 测试说我爱冒险，直率而且好相处。测试还说我有点迷信，偶尔天真。这不是真的。
A：测试并不百分百准，测试报告上就写这些?
