地道美语：感到尴尬

Lois: Please don’t embarrass me at the party tonight.
路易斯：在今晚的派对上请别让我尴尬。
Roger: Me, embarrass you? I’d never do that.
罗格：我？让你尴尬？我永远不会那样做的。
Lois: You have, though, more than once.
路易斯：不过你已经做过不止一次了。
Roger: Name one.
罗格：那你说说。
Lois: At the Johnsons’ party, you danced on the table while singing “I Am Woman”!
路易斯：在约翰逊的派对上，你在桌子上边跳舞边唱“我是个女人”。
Roger: I was being the life of the party. Everybody thought it was funny.
罗格：我是派对中活跃的人物。每个人都认为很有趣。
Lois: It was humiliating! Didn’t you notice more than one person cringing and the awkward silence in the room when your song ended?
路易斯：很丢脸！你难道没有注意到不止一个人感到厌恶，当你唱歌结束的时候那种沉默很尴尬。
Roger: No, I didn’t, but I did notice Malik laughing his head off and the Johnsons smiling.
罗格：没有，但是我注意到马利克笑得前仰后合，而且约翰逊也在笑。
Lois: That’s because Malik has your sense of humor and the Johnsons were humoring you. They were trying to put a good face on your impromptu performance.
路易斯：那是因为马利克有你那样的幽默感，但是约翰逊在迎合你而已。他们尽量对你的即兴演出展现一个好脸色。
Roger: I’m not going to be a wallflower just because you can’t take a joke. My exuberant personality is what gets us invited to so many parties.
罗格：我不想当个壁花（舞会中没有舞伴而坐着看的人），因为你经不起开玩笑。我这么活跃的性格是我们被这么多次邀请参加派对的原因。
Lois: Yeah, right. Can I at least get you to promise not to sing?
路易斯：是的，对。那至少能答应我不唱歌吗？
Roger: And disappoint my audience? Not a chance!
罗格：那样不是让观众失望吗？不可能！
