地道美语听力练习:小道消息

Amina: What's the lowdown on the new guy?

Earl: Which new guy?

Amina: You know, the cute one. Fill me in. Is he single?

Earl: I don't know. I have no idea.

Amina: You're working with him side-by-side and you haven't gleaned any personal information about him?

Earl: We talk about work. It's not my job to pry into his personal life.

Amina: I need to get the scoop on Mr. Perfect and you're my source.

Earl: You don't know anything about him, so how do you know he's perfect? Maybe when you get to know him, you'll find out he's a selfish, self-centered jerk.

Amina: Wait, catch me up on what's going on here. Have other people asked you about him?

Earl: Yeah, maybe about a dozen of the women in this office. They've been bombarding me with questions.

Amina: Oh, sorry. I didn't know.

Earl: Yeah, I'm not the guy's social secretary. You women have to satisfy your own curiosity elsewhere.

Amina: Point taken, but do you know if he's shown interest in any of the dozen women you've talked to?

Earl: Ugh!
