第15课 刻薄的 - 34第15课：刻薄的 - 34【迷你小对话】A: Do you think we could go easy on Joey for fighting in the cafeteria?
At least he isn’t a woose.

B: No, we can’t go soft on fighting in school.
Besides, he didn’t have to fight that kid.
The teacher had the kid cold for cheating.
So Joey was already cleared of the charges.

A: I know, but it seems cold to punish him, after somebody copies his work.

B: We’re punishing him for fighting with after school detention.
The other kid will be suspended for cheating.
A: 你觉得我们能原谅Joey在餐厅里打架的事吗？
至少他表现得很有勇气。

B: 不行，我们不能对在校园里打架的行为手软。
而且，他根本就不应该打那个孩子。
老师已经遥掌握了那孩子遥的证据，已明白不关Joey的事。

A: 我知道，不过毕竟是别人抄袭了Joey，这样惩罚他太无情了。

B: 我们是罚他打架，让他放学后留校。
另外一个孩子遥，我们会让他停课。
【语言点精讲】woose: 俚语，胆小鬼。

have/get sb.
cold: 置某人于牢牢掌握之中。
