口語：賣萌怎么說？

　　Jessica在北京學(xué)漢語，她的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎么說的詞，就會來請教她。今天是小北要問的：擺臭臉。

　　XB: Jessica，今天我可是太丟人了!

　　Jessica: What happened?

　　XB: 我在圖書館里戴著耳機聽電腦里的音樂，結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)大家都在皺著眉頭看我，最后圖書管理員過來說，請你把音樂關(guān)掉!原來我的耳機沒插牢，音樂聲都跑出來了!

　　Jessica: Oh! Thats why people were mean mugging you!

　　XB: 啊?什么意思?

　　Jessica: To mean mug someone means to give someone an angry look.

　　XB: 啊，mean mug someone就是沖某人擺臭臉。I was wondering why everyone in the library was mean mugging me!

　　Jessica: You can also use the phrase to give someone an evil eye. It also means to glare at someone with a lot of anger and hatred.

　　XB: I see. Give someone an evil eye就是恨恨地瞪著別人。那天我在銀行，someone cut in line. Oh, you should have seen the evil eye everybody gave him!

　　Jessica: 在銀行插隊被人瞪?活該!

　　XB: I agree! 對了，話說今天我學(xué)習(xí)了一天，發(fā)覺我的電腦實在太慢了，我打算跟我爸張口，讓他送我一臺新的!

　　Jessica: Didnt your Dad just pay for your trip to Hong Kong?

　　XB:呵呵，那是沒錯啦! 不過，我爸特寵我，只要我對他撒撒嬌，裝裝可憐，他什么都答應(yīng)我!

　　Jessica: Haha! Daddys little girl likes to use the puppy-dog eyes trick!

　　XB: Puppy-dog eyes? 小狗的眼睛?

　　Jessica: 對啊。When you give someone those puppy-dog eyes, you enlarge your eyes over dramatically with a sad face to get whatever you desire.

　　XB: 哦! 就是睜大眼睛，像小狗一樣賣萌裝可憐!Hey, my little nephew gives me those puppy-dog eyes every time he wants to play with my iPad!

　　Jessica: Did you give it to him?

　　XB: 我才不吃這一套!

　　Jessicaf: So what did he do?

　　XB: 那還用問，he starts mean mugging me!
