第9课：幽默的 - 11

　　【迷你小对话】

　　A: Did you know that Steve got fired?

　　B: No, but I expected it. He was always making wisecracks about how others worked. It was bound to irritate the wrong person eventually.

　　A: Gosh, I thought he was kind of funny.

　　B: That’s because you never heard him talk about you.

　　A: 你知道吗?Steve被解雇了。

　　B: 不知道，不过我早料到了。他总是说俏皮话取笑别人的工作，早晚会得罪人的。

　　A: 天啊，我还觉得他挺幽默的呢!

　　B: 那是因为你从来没听到他议论你。
