L：你可真能出馊主意！自己逃学还不算，还要我装病不去工作。不行，我工作的地方星期一总是很忙的，而且上星期我真的生病，请了两天假。I don't want to play hooky from work. 我说得对不对，Michael？ 3 T. E1 c. z$ Y% b" m# x8 w! ]5 C, H

0 T6 Y+ K# C% ?( u$ r1 yL：没关系，我知道你最近压力很大。你说 "I didn't mean to snap at you", 那是什么意思呀？是不是指你很生气地跟我说话？ 6 K( P+ K7 a$ a2 q( Z* p" f! L4 m1 L' q5 k& U

L：to snap at someone 就是对某人大声嚷嚷，或者很生气地和某人说话。Michael，你一般不对人那么讲话的。我想可能是你最近压力太大了。 . C# S! A: m" w' J 3 j* A5 z. V( f) u/ i. `- f$ aM：Yeah, but that's no excuse for snapping at you.
