jessica在北京学汉语，她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教她。今天是小北要问的：摆臭脸。

xb: jessica，今天我可是太丢人了！

jessica: what happened?

xb: 我在图书馆里戴着耳机听电脑里的音乐，结果发现大家都在皱着眉头看我，最后图书管理员过来说，请你把音乐关掉！原来我的耳机没插牢，音乐声都跑出来了！

jessica: oh! that's why people were mean mugging you!

xb: 啊？什么意思？

jessica: to mean mug someone means to give someone an angry look.

xb: 啊，mean mug someone就是冲某人摆臭脸。i was wondering why everyone in the library was mean mugging me!

jessica: you can also use the phrase "to give someone an evil eye." it also means to glare at someone with a lot of anger and hatred.

xb: i see. give someone an evil eye就是“恨恨地瞪着别人”。那天我在银行，someone cut in line. oh, you should have seen the evil eye everybody gave him!

jessica: 在银行插队被人瞪？活该！

xb: i agree! 对了，话说今天我学习了一天，发觉我的电脑实在太慢了，我打算跟我爸张口，让他送我一台新的!

jessica: didn't your dad just pay for your trip to hong kong?

xb:呵呵，那是没错啦! 不过，我爸特宠我，只要我对他撒撒娇，装装可怜，他什么都答应我！

jessica: haha! daddy's little girl likes to use the puppy-dog eyes trick!

xb: puppy-dog eyes? 小狗的眼睛？

jessica: 对啊。when you give someone those puppy-dog eyes, you enlarge your eyes over dramatically with a sad face to get whatever you desire.

xb: 哦! 就是睁大眼睛，像小狗一样卖萌装可怜！hey, my little nephew gives me those puppy-dog eyes every time he wants to play with my ipad!

jessica: did you give it to him?

xb: 我才不吃这一套!

jessicaf: so what did he do?

xb: 那还用问，he starts mean mugging me!

xb: 今天我们学了，摆臭脸是mean mug someone; 恨恨瞪别人是give someone an evil eye; 睁大眼睛卖萌装可怜是give someone those puppy-dog eyes.
