地道美语听力练习:描述个人所处局势

Selena:Don't look now, but a big group of mothers are coming to this house to give you a piece of their mind.

Justin:What?! I meant it as a joke. I didn't mean anything by it.

Selena:You'll have to tell that to Sally. She's at the head of the group and she's flanked by Maria and Veronica.

Justin:Oh no, not them. I'd rather be confronted by anyone but those three.

Selena:They're not the only ones. They're backed by a group of at least 15 parents.

Justin:Maybe some of those on the periphery are just spectators, waiting to see what the rest of the group will do.

Selena:Don't count on it. They look determined.

Justin:Who are those in the back?

Selena:Those bringing up the rear? I think those are a few fathers with a message of their own.

Justin:What should I do now?

Selena:Start by waving a white flag.

Justin:And then?

Selena:Try a sincere apology, with a healthy dose of groveling.
