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：无语。

jessica; xiaobei! you look upset. what happened?

yiru: 别提了！我有个朋友欠钱不还，拖了好长时间了，每次都找各种理由搪塞我！气死我了，以前我还和她理论，现在我简直是…简直是…无语了我！

jessica: i see. you're so tired of your friend's excuses that you are speechless.

xb: speechless？ 原来这就是无语的意思。

jessica: yes. for example, you can say "she was speechless after learning her boyfriend was dating another woman."

xb: 哦，知道男友跟别的女生交往后，她气得说不出话来。

jessica: exactly. basically, you can use "speechless" to mean something so bad or so surprising that you don't know what to say.

xb: i see. 跟你说，我认识一个女生，她特别虚伪，总是假惺惺地称赞别人，转过头来就说人坏话。every time i see her being so fake, i'm speechless!

jessica: i bet you also roll your eyes!

xb: roll my eyes?

jessica: if you roll your eyes, you're showing that you don't believe someone or you aren't interested in what they're saying.

xb: 哦，就是因为不相信或者不耐烦而翻白眼。这个说法真形象! 就在今天早上，i got an email saying i was selected to win 5 million dollars. it also asked for my bank account.

jessica: that's fishy! it must be a scam!

xb: 我当然知道这是诈骗邮件了！i rolled my eyes when i read it! 不过你说，要是我哪天我真中了500万…

jessica: that would blow me away! meaning i'd be really amazed!

xb: 哦，to blow someone away就是使人大吃一惊，不过，这应该是用在形容什么好事儿的时候吧？

jessica: exactly. for example, my new computer ran so fast it blew me away!

xb: or jessica has so much cash hidden under her bed it blows me away!

jessica: what? me? cash? now i'm rolling my eyes, xiaobei!

xb: 我来总结一下今天学的词：因为厌恶或者吃惊而无语，用speechless; 因为不耐烦或不相信而翻白眼是roll one's eyes; 某些好事让人大吃一惊用blow someone away.
