英语口语之两面三刀

       Vicky: Did I imagine it or did you just give Gavin the cold shoulder?

       Give some one cold shoulder=故意冷落某人

       Gerard: You didn’t imagine it. I’m not too happy with him. Vicky: Why? What did he do?

       Gerard: He’s two-faced, that’s why. Last week, he told me he was going to put in a good word for me with the manager for a promotion.
因为他是个两面派。上星期，他说他会为我升职的问题在经理面前说好话的/劝经理升我的职的。
       1.Tow-faced: 两面三刀的，两面派，居心不良的，明一套暗一套，当面一套背后一套，别理解成墙头草了。
       2.to put in a good word:说好话、美言

       Vicky: So that sounds like a nice thing to do. Gerard: I thought so, too. But as it turns out, I heard from Elanda that he was bad-mouthing me behind my back.
我也这么觉得，可结果呢？我听Elanda说他在背后说我坏话呢
