Jessica在北京學(xué)漢語，她的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎么說的詞，就會來請教她。今天是聽眾問的：兩面派。

jessica: 吳瓊，我問你，“兩面派”用美語怎么說？

WQ: Ah? jessica, 你從哪兒學(xué)到這個詞的？

jessica: From one of our listeners! 有個聽眾問的。

WQ: That's cool! Hmm... 我覺得兩面派一定是double face，對嗎？

jessica: Close! Actually it's two-faced.

WQ: 哦！two-faced 兩張臉，當(dāng)人一面背人一面，兩面派。

jessica: That's right. Sometimes a two-faced person will say nice things about you to your face, then tell others nasty things about you when you're not around.

WQ: 哼，我最討厭這種背后捅刀子的人了。

jessica: I know! We call these people back stabbers.

WQ: Back stabber? S-t-a-b-b-e-r, stabber 是用刀子捅別人的人，所以back stabber 就是在背后給人下刀子的人嘍！jessica, 不是吹牛，這種人我一眼就能識破。

jessica: Wow! You must be a really good judge of character.

WQ: judge 是法官，character 是人品，你說我是 a good judge of character， 一定是說我看人看得準(zhǔn)，眼光犀利，對嗎？

jessica: Exactly. two-faced people can't fool you if you're a good judge of character.

WQ: 不過 jessica, 我覺得，two faced people和back stabbers雖然都很討厭，但他們也有些用處！

jessica: Really?

WQ: Yeah. Their existence will help you see who your real friends are! 沒有他們的存在，怎么能顯出哪些人才是真朋友呢！

jessica: 有道理！Now let's see what you've learned today.

WQ: 第一：形容某人兩面派是two-faced;

第二：背后害人的人是back stabber;

第三：形容看人準(zhǔn)，可以說 someone is a good judge of character.
