地道美语听力播客564:两面派

Javier: I saw Terry cozying up to you this morning. What was that about?

哈维尔：我今天早上看见特里在讨好你。那是怎么一回事?

Floriane: He was just offering me some advice on my first proposal.

弗洛莉安：他只是对于我的第一次提案给点建议。

Javier: Sure, he was. What were his true intentions?

哈维尔：当然，是的。但是他真正的目的是什么?

Floriane: I think he was being upfront about wanting to help a new employee. I don’t think he had an ulterior motive.

弗洛莉安：我认为他只是想帮助一个新员工而已，我不认为他别有用心。

Javier: I wouldn’t take Terry at face value. He has a reputation around the office of being two- faced. He’ll try to get to know you under false pretenses and then stab you in the back.

哈维尔：我不会只看他的表面的。他是办公室里有名的两面派。他会设法假装友好的接近你，然后在背后捅你刀子。

Floriane: I don’t get that feeling from Terry. He seemed genuine and open. By the way, was there something you needed?

弗洛莉安：我感觉他不是这样的人。他看起来正直坦率。顺便问一下，你来这有事吗?

Javier: Me? No. I was just trying to watch out for you.

哈维尔：我啊?我没事，就是想来看看你。

Floriane: In that case, I’d better get back to work, and I’ll keep your warning in mind. I’ll be ware of anyone giving me advice who may have an ulterior motive.

弗洛莉安：既然这样，那我要回去工作了，我会记住你的忠告。同时我也会对那些可能存在的别有用心的人所给的建议保持警惕。
