　　第17课：没礼貌的 - 14

　　【迷你小对话】

　　A: I can’t believe what Steven did! He came to my dinner party wearing jeans, and started some conversations that were quite uncultured.

　　B: I know his comments were out of line, but give him a chance He just moved here from countryside. I’m sure he is just a diamond in the rough. When he gets used to being with us, he’ll become more polished.

　　A: 我简直不敢相信Steven做的事儿!他穿着牛仔裤来参加我的晚宴，谈起话来那么没文化。

　　B: 我知道他的品头论足很出格，但是给他个机会吧。他刚从乡下搬到这里，我想他还是能变好的。他和我们相处惯了，就会变得有礼貌了。
