NOTE2: He is in great trouble now! 「世博VOA」洗耳恭听,两个句子小菜一碟! Yesterday Tom told me a story. He said that Andy had been in hot water recently because his girlfriend had decided to leave him. Andy didn't know why. Maybe it was because he didn't have enough time to accompany his girlfriend. But Tom said the bottom line was that Andy had forgotten his girlfriend's birthday! This is the story given by Tom. I don't believe it, for that story sounds fishy. Firstly, Tom is a perfect liar and more than 50 percent of what he says is usually false. Secondly, Andy has been on good terms with his girlfriend and he is a considerate gentleman. For this, I am sure that they are still getting on well with each other. What do you think? 喜欢制造谣言的Tom这次又说Andy和他的女朋友之间出现了危机(he is in hot water now)。事实到底是不是如此,作者仔细分析了原因,其一,Tom是很喜欢撒谎的,他的话50%以上都是假的,其二,Andy可是一个体贴入微的绅士,怎么会不陪他的女友呢,更不可能忘记女友的生日呀!所以呢,可以表明这个故事有点可疑(That story sounds fishy),结果到底是什么样子呢?我们也不得而知! 1) That story sounds fishy. 那个故事有点可疑!
2) He is in hot water now. 他现在有麻烦了! 「请你猜猜看」挑战自我,情景抢答也刺激! Here are three situations: S1.
