One friend is telling another bad news. 
一个人在向他的朋友讲述坏消息。 
 
A: I’ve been waiting for an hour! Where have you been? 
 
 
B: I got stuck in traffic on the way back from Joe’s office. 
 
 
A: Okay. Tell me exactly what Joe said. Don’t beat around the bush1. Give it to me straight. 
 
 
B: Hold your horses! I’ll tell you in a minute. Let me catch my breath2. I just got here and I told you traffic was terrible. 
 
 
A: You can do that later. Tell me. What did Joe say? 
 
 
B: Do you really want to know? Even if it’s bad news? 
 
 
A: Of course I do. Just tell me. 
 
 
B: Okay. If you really want to know. He said you always try to pull the wool over his eyes. He thinks you are dishonest. 
 
 
A: What? That’s not true! Perhaps I exaggerate3 a little. But that’s all. I’ve never tried to deceive4 him. 
 
 
B: Why don’t you do what I do? 
 
 
A: What’s that? 
 
 
B: Take his remark with a grain of salt. 
 
 
A: That’s easy for you to say, he’s not your boss! 
 
 
B: Yeah, but I’ve known5 him for ten years. I’m telling you, his comment isn’t worth worrying about. 
 
 
A: I hope you’re right.
