課文講解
Max: Hey Tiff, what's up? 嗨！阿芬，怎么样啊？
Tiffany: My name's Tiffany, not "Tiff". 我的名字叫蒂芬妮，不是阿芬！
Max: Sorry about that Tiff. Hey did you know you're doing your assignments wrong? I saw some of them, and I know for a fact that you made a lot of mistakes. 真是抱歉，阿芬。妳知道妳把工作做得乱七八糟吗？我有看到一些不对的地方，所以我很肯定妳一定错误百出。
Tiffany: Good heavens! You are so annoying, Max. 我的老天啊！麦克斯你真的很烦耶！
Max: I know, isn't it hilarious? Did you know the word "annoy" comes from an Old French word? I learned that when I was in France. 我知道啊，难道妳不觉得很好笑吗？妳知道「烦」的英文是从古法文衍伸而来的吗？这是我在法国时学到的喔！
Tiffany: No, I didn't know that and I don't care. Look, you need to stop bothering me or else I'll report you. 我不知道，而且我也不想知道。听着，你要是再烦我，我就检举你！
Max: Seriously, Tiff? Come on, you wouldn't do that. 妳是认真的吗，阿芬？少来，妳才不会咧！
Tiffany: Yes, seriously. You act like you know everything, and that makes people feel upset. 没错，我是认真的，你自以为是万事通的行径让大家都很不满。
Max: Oh, I'm sorry Tiffany. I never knew I was that much of a bother. At least you told me before I got in trouble. Is there anything I can do to apologize? 噢，抱歉蒂芬妮，我从没想过自己那么惹人厌。不过，至少妳已经在我銡下大错前提醒我了，我能做些什么来道歉吗？
Tiffany: I think you've learned your lesson, so there's no need. 我想你已经学到教训了，所以没那个必要。
Max: I wonder if everyone else feels the same about me. 不晓得大家对我的观感是不是都这么差。
Tiffany: They do. 没错，大家都这么认为。
Max: Ouch. Well, I'm glad we had this talk. From now on, I'm going to stop being a know-it-all. 噢…很庆幸我们有这番谈话，从今以后我不会再自以为无所不知了。
Tiffany: I'm glad to hear that. Maybe you'll find out that other people know a lot, too. 很高兴听到你这么说，或许之后你会发现，其实他人知道的也不少！
