第一、迷你对话
A: It depends on where you are and what position you are in. For instance, if you are in an elevator and you smile, you will make other takers uncomfortable.
这取决于你在哪儿以及你的处境如何。比如：如果你在一个电梯里笑容满面的，那你肯定会是其他乘客不自在。
B: That’s an exception. But I am fed up with those who keep a straight face on front of me.
这只是个例外，我烦透了在我面前板着脸的人。
A: I cannot see eye to eye with you here. You see, I am fed up with those who keep smiling to me. I mean, they smile for no reason at all.
我和你的看法不同，我讨厌始终对我微笑的人。我的意思是说，他们没有缘由地微笑。
B: That means you don’t like them. If you hit it off with them, you will like to see their smiles.
那就是输说你不喜欢他们。如果你和他们和睦相处，你才会喜欢他们的微笑。
