　　第15課：刻薄的 - 34

　　【迷你小對(duì)話】

　　A: Do you think we could go easy on Joey for fighting in the cafeteria? At least he isn’t a woose.

　　B: No, we can’t go soft on fighting in school. Besides, he didn’t have to fight that kid. The teacher had the kid cold for cheating. So Joey was already cleared of the charges.

　　A: I know, but it seems cold to punish him, after somebody copies his work.

　　B: We’re punishing him for fighting with after school detention. The other kid will be suspended for cheating.

　　A: 你覺得我們能原諒Joey在餐廳里打架的事嗎?至少他表現(xiàn)得很有勇氣。

　　B: 不行，我們不能對(duì)在校園里打架的行為手軟。而且，他根本就不應(yīng)該打那個(gè)孩子。老師已經(jīng)完全掌握了那孩子作弊的證據(jù)，已明白不關(guān)Joey的事。

　　A: 我知道，不過畢竟是別人抄襲了Joey，這樣懲罰他太無情了。

　　B: 我們是罰他打架，讓他放學(xué)后留校。另外一個(gè)孩子作弊，我們會(huì)讓他停課。

　　【語言點(diǎn)精講】

　　woose: 俚語，膽小鬼。

　　have/get sb. cold: 置某人于牢牢掌握之中。

　　detention: 處罰學(xué)生的課后留校。

　　suspend: 暫時(shí)停課;停學(xué)。
