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？ 1 _" o/ p; h' Z$ V 2 P* i7 ^% s* TM：Yes, very good.

M：Hey, I may play hooky once in a while, but I usually study hard. Do you think I don't feel any pressure to get good grades? If I don't do well, I won't get a good job later on.7 w# B" @& z; ]8 y' n- C0 k3 z, r

) `! H( u( b! g/ ?L：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？ " C6 L4 h) m C9 Z 7 N5 A/ D0 T) s: C5 rM：Yeah, to snap, s-n-a-p. To snap at someone means to yell at someone or talk to them in an angry way., K3 i3 q6 d: s$ j

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。; K' H1 d0 D- ]& _3 b
