第22课：诚实正直的 - 14

【迷你小对话1】

A: Telling it like it is doesn’t always win you friends. I called a spade a spade, and told Mary she was a bit fat and she dumped me.
B: So, honesty doesn’t always pay.

A: 有什么说什么有时候会得罪人。我直言不讳地告诉Mary她有点胖，她就把我甩了。
B: 这样看来，诚实并不是总能给人带来好处。

【迷你小对话2】

A: We’ve been so polite with each other that we haven’t answered any questions clearly.
B: I agree. It’s time to talk turkey now. I’m going to tell you exactly how much money I need, and you can tell me how much you can pay.

A: 我们双方都太客气了，问题还没有得到清楚的解答。
B: 我觉得也是，现在该直说了。我确切地告诉你我方报价，你告诉我你能付多少。
