Javier: I saw Terry cozying up to you this morning. What was that about?

哈維爾：我今天早上看見特里在討好你。那是怎么一回事?

Floriane: He was just offering me some advice on my first proposal.

弗洛莉安：他只是對(duì)于我的第一次提案給點(diǎn)建議。

Javier: Sure, he was. What were his true intentions?

哈維爾：當(dāng)然，是的。但是他真正的目的是什么?

Floriane: I think he was being upfront about wanting to help a new employee. I don’t think he had an ulterior motive.

弗洛莉安：我認(rèn)為他只是想幫助一個(gè)新員工而已，我不認(rèn)為他別有用心。

哈維爾：我不會(huì)只看他的表面的。他是辦公室里有名的兩面派。他會(huì)設(shè)法假裝友好的接近你，然后在背后捅你刀子。

Floriane: I don’t get that feeling from Terry. He seemed genuine and open. By the way, was there something you needed?

弗洛莉安：我感覺他不是這樣的人。他看起來(lái)正直坦率。順便問一下，你來(lái)這有事嗎?

Javier: Me? No. I was just trying to watch out for you.

哈維爾：我啊?我沒事，就是想來(lái)看看你。

Floriane: In that case, I’d better get back to work, and I’ll keep your warning in mind. I’ll be ware of anyone giving me advice who may have an ulterior motive.

弗洛莉安：既然這樣，那我要回去工作了，我會(huì)記住你的忠告。同時(shí)我也會(huì)對(duì)那些可能存在的別有用心的人所給的建議保持警惕。
