不知道你們有沒有過這種經(jīng)歷-當你不小心聽到別人議論你時,卻被對方發(fā)現(xiàn)。但其實更讓人尬的是,你用自以為別人聽不懂的方言/語言大聲評價對方,卻極其反轉(zhuǎn)的發(fā)現(xiàn),被你議論的那個人也掌握了這種方言/語言。呵呵,這種感覺真是酸爽。
國外的網(wǎng)友們分享了一些類似的經(jīng)歷,相信你隔著屏幕都能感受到一絲尷尬...

Latino guys
I'm Swiss and Peruvian and I live in Peru, so I don't look at all like a Swiss guy. There were two Swiss girls sitting behind me on a bus talking about Latino guys. Then one of them asked the other if she found me attractive. I turned around and said that I would love to know that too. The look of confusion and shame was priceless. Then we just all laughed. Now I've got two new friends!

An ego boost
I was at a hotel bar in NY and a Russian couple were sitting a few chairs down from me talking about what they should do for the evening. So I suggested that they go to Rockefeller center to see the tree (it was a couple days before Christmas) and try and find some carolers/Christmas music performances to listen to.

They were shocked an American could speak Russian and they were super pleasant people. They bought me a drink and talked about their impressions of NY for 20 minutes or so before they went out for the night. I was able to give them some advice and they gave me an ego boost by complimenting my Russian.
