M:Yes, that guy was very sketchy. You have to be careful around sketchy people like that.
L:对了,我得打电话告诉小陈我没上她的当, 借你的手机用一用,行吗?
M:Sure!
M:What did you say to your roommate just now? You were talking so fast in Chinese that I couldn't understand.
L:我告诉她我很生气,我不想再跟她住在一起了,我告诉她我要搬出去和她哥哥同居了。嘿,她好象真相信我说的话!
M:She believed that? She is such a sucker!
L:她是什么?你是说她sketchy,是吗?
M:No, no... a sucker is someone who believes people who lie to her, and can be easily tricked .
L:Sucker这个词我在学校里经常听到,可就不是太清楚究竟是什么意思。原来sucker 是指很容易上当,很轻信别人的人。我一开始相信了小陈的话,那我不就是个sucker咯!
M:Sure, everyone is a sucker at one time or another...
L:那倒是的,每个人有时难免会当傻瓜。我记得你在电脑上收到很多电子邮件的广告,说你可以在家工作赚很多钱,当时你还很相信这些广告呢。You were such a sucker!
