【Listening skills】

【Nobody wanted to talk to me as a guy.】

这句话真正的意思是“如果别人知道我是男的，就不会愿意跟我说话。”所以说这句话的赫伯特并没有变性，只是让人以为他是女人。

【I don't know about this. 我并不是那么同意（这件事）】

当你无法同意别人所说的话，又无意争吵时，就可以用这句话结束讨论，改变话题。

1) anything and everything 无所不包的
2) dream girlfriend/boyfriend 梦中女友/男友
3) pretend (v.) 假装
4) Are you nuts? 你疯啦？nut是“干果” ，也作“疯子”解释。
