留美老师带你每天说英文 第689期:带着自信出现在我面前
台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是:
You came along with confidence -not just in yourself, but in our potential. I felt emotions stirring but I kept them down; I told myself not to get attached, convincing myself I wasn't that interested. But instead of getting discouraged, you could tell that I was just afraid. So you sent messages to make me smile.
你带着自信出现在我面前,你不仅仅是对你自己有自信,还对我们俩关系的进展很有自信。我感觉到我内心被动摇了,但是我却不断地压抑着。我告诉自己不要陷下去,说服自己其实对你并没有那么感兴趣,但你却没有因此气馁,因为你能看出我只是害怕而已,于是你传了一些讯息,逗我开心。
