Conversation:

A: So how was your blind date the other night?

那么你前兩天晚上的相親怎么樣？

B: Not that great. I mean he was nice and all. But there was something about him.

不是太好，我是說他還不錯，就是有些地方怪怪的。

A: What? You make him sound like he was hiding something. Was he shifty?

怎么？聽你這么說，他好像隱瞞了什么事情，他狡猾嗎？

shifty詭計的；不可靠的

B: No, he just seemed too nervous, like he had something to hide.

不狡猾，他好像只是太緊張了，就像隱瞞了什么事情似的。

A: Maybe he was just nervous about the blind date.

也許他只是對于相親太緊張了。

B: That's what I thought too, at first. But all through dinner and the movie afterward, he was never relaxed. It was a bit odd.

起初我也是這么想，但吃完飯又看了電影，他一點兒都沒有放松，有點兒奇怪。

A: Maybe he's just a high-strung person. Or maybe he's actually married.

也許他只是個神經(jīng)緊張的人，或者也許他實際上已經(jīng)結(jié)婚了。
