Day 14

interesting还可以用来表示敷衍别人？

D: Hey，Alex，check out this awesome video I made!

A: Oh，it's interesting .

D: You don't like it?

A: What? Of course I like it. I said it's interesting.

D: But when you say interesting，you need to actually sound interested.

A: Oh! Uh，ya，it's really interesting!

D: You're so fake!

听完今天的对话之后，我们重点要讲解的就是 “interesting” 这个词。在最初学到这个词的时候，大家都知道， interesting 的意思是“ 有趣的 ”，但是当你用不同的语气说出这个词的时候，它却表达了不同的含义。So, Darby，how do we use it?

A ll right. So if you are talking to an English speaker，be careful!

Because if they say “Oh， interesting .”，maybe they don't care at all what you are talking about.

So，if they say “ Wow! So inter-esting !”，it sounds like maybe they really are interested.

也就是说，我们用不同的语调说interesting这个词的时候，它表达的意思是截然不同的。

比如：interesting（注意听语气），这个时候你可能就是在敷衍。

但是如果你说：Wow！Interesting! 那就是 真正地感兴趣，觉得很有意思 。

你学会了吗？

So for today's bonus，you hear me say at the end of the conversation to Alex： You are so fake! It's because I can tell by the way that he is speaking that he is not being honest.

So saying “You're so fake.” means you know that someone is being dishonest with you.

—Darby，You look so great today!

—Ugh，Alex，you are so fake!

—Bye!

—Bye-bye!
