英語博客-北美風(fēng)情 254 That’s so sketchy
Here’s an episode all about bad and uncomfortable feelings. Have you ever been around a person who you didn’t trust? Or maybe you entered a building and for some reason you didn’t feel safe. It can be hard to describe what makes something seem sketchy, dodgy, or shady, but we know it when we feel it! Check out this episode, we promise it’s safe and you can trust our explanations.
Maura:So, something or a person or a place could be called sketchy.
Andrew:Absolutely. And this is something that’s just not clear. This place, or this person, this thing, you just have a sort of strange feeling towards it. You can’t trust it completely.
Maura:Right. This might be a time when you don’t feel safe around a certain person or in a certain place. It’s just a bad feeling, kind of like an instinct.
Andrew:Yeah. It’s almost like, if you’re describing a sketchy person, that you think that maybe that person doesn’t have a good intention; they’re gonna do something bad towards you.
Maura:So sketchy can also be used to describe a place. And when I think of a sketchy place, I think of dark streets with buildings that have broken windows and people walking around who maybe look a little bit dangerous. That’s how I would describe a sketchy place.
