GL：你可真能出馊主意！自己逃学还不算，还要我装病不去工作。不行，我工作的地方星期一总是很忙的，而且上星期我真的生病，请了两天假。I don't want to play hooky from work. 我说得对不对，Michael？ . d3 x1 w, W/ o/ T+ W- O* {5 I!

M：Hey, I may play hooky once in a while, but I usually study hard. Do you think I don't feel any pressure to get good grades?

L：我是没有让你生气的意思。没关系，每个人都有情绪不好的时候嘛！Michael，我以前好象听到别人用过to snap at someone，可不太清楚它的意思。有一次，一个小孩说他打破了什么东西。。。 ; K: }4 @8 g4 Q8 {3 {7 q : A1 ^" d9 c7 Y* M2 GM：His mother must have snapped at him when he broke something at home.$ d% T* H4 N! S1 x9 U: @
