地道美语听力练习:同健谈及内敛的人讲话

Marcia:Phew! I thought they'd never leave.

Artem:I enjoyed their company, didn't you?

Marcia:Jessie is fine, a little reserved and soft-spoken, and on the shy side.

Kelly, on the other hand, talked our ear off.

No one could get a word in edgewise with her.

Artem:I thought Kelly's anecdotes were funny.

She was a little long-winded, I'll admit, but I enjoyed talking to her more than trying to make conversation with Jessie.

She is so close-mouthed and guarded that it was like pulling teeth.

Marcia:I'd rather talk to someone who is a little reticent than a loudmouth.

Artem:Ooh, that's a little harsh.

Marcia:Maybe you're right, but I don't like the blathering, gossipy type.

Artem:I wonder…

Marcia:What?

Artem:I wonder what they're saying about us.
