地道美語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力播客:Describing Facial Expressions

Marjorie: I wish I could have been there when you told the managers that you were leaving the company and starting your own business!
Pedro: Everyone was taken aback . Dan gave me a dirty look , of course. He’s always looked down his nose at me . As for Sanjaya, if looks could kill ...
Marjorie: Sanjaya? I thought if anyone would understand why you wanted to strike out on your own , he would. I honestly don’t know him that well, but I thought he was a happy- go-lucky kind of guy.
Pedro: Maybe I misread him, but he certainly wasn’t grinning ear to ear . He just had afrown on his face the entire time.
Marjorie: What about Wendy? How did she react?
Pedro: I’m not sure what to make of her reaction. She just raised her eyebrows at me . She sort of winced when I broke the news, and then she had a poker face . I really hope she’s not angry with me.
Marjorie: I think you’d know it if she were angry with you. The last time she was mad at me, she was purple with rage . So, aren’t you happy about your big announcement? I don’t get it. Why the long face ?
Pedro: I just wonder if I did the right thing by making an announcement, rather than telling each manager individually. I thought it would feel good to spring it on them all at once , but now I’m doubting whether I did the right thing.
Marjorie: It’s no use crying over spilled milk . Forget about the announcement and focuson your new business. You’re going to be big success!
