Cagey 回避

　　Jo: Hello, I'm Jo and this is Real English from BBC Learning English. Hi Lily.

　　Lily: Hello there Jo. 歡迎大家收聽地道英語節目. 這個兩分種的小節目專門介紹英式英語中最流行的詞匯和成語，其中很多都是字典上查不到的。 Jo 今天我們要學習的新詞語是什么?.

　　Jo: Today we're looking at the word cagey C.A.G.E.Y. cagey.

　　Lily: Cagey? 什么意思呢?

　　Jo: Well it's an adjective that you can use for someone who is unwilling to give you information.

　　Lily: 一個不愿向你透露任何信息的人就可以被形容為 cagey. Can you give us an example Jo?

　　Jo: Well for example, I might ask you where you're going tonight and you won't really answer my question – you might have a very good or very personal reason for not telling me but I might describe you as cagey.

　　Lily: 如果你問我今晚打算干什么,我不想告訴你，于是躲躲閃閃不直接回答你的問題，這就是 cagey. 漢語就是回避。

　　Jo: Here's some more examples to help.

　　Examples

　　A: You've got a few bags there – what have you been buying?

　　B: Oh nothing special – just stuff.

　　A: Food or presents?

　　B: Just stuff, you know.

　　A: Hmm you're being a bit cagey aren't you?

　　A: I wonder why Jason was talking to the boss…

　　B: Yeah I was curious about that. I tired to ask him about it but he was being rather cagey.

　　Jo: Now I saw you last night Lily…

　　Lily: You saw me? Where?

　　Jo: You were walking down the street, near that new shopping centre – with a tall man.

　　Lily: Oh yes. I was just going out for a meal.

　　Jo: With the man? Who's he then? Anyone special?

　　Lily: Just a friend.

　　Jo: Oh come on Lily, you can tell me.

　　Lily: I said – he's a friend.

　　Jo: Now you're being a bit cagey Lily.

　　Lily: 我說 Jo, 你對我并不是什么都說, 那我也沒有義務把所有的事情都告你呀! 好了, 今天的地道英語節目就學到這里. 祝大家學習愉快!

　　Jo: Bye!
