遭報(bào)應(yīng)

其實(shí)說謊的過程并不是最令人揪心的，更令人擔(dān)憂的是說謊所招致的后果。不要不信邪，瞧Andy，讓Luke幫他謊稱生病，這不就病上了。Sarah的來訪也讓他虛驚一場(chǎng)。

Luke: Oh， man. You don’t look so good. Are you

1)faking it again so you can 2)skip another day of school?

Andy: No. I think I’ve really caught something. I feel terrible and I’m 3)dizzy， burning up and can’t

stop sneezing.

Luke: Did you kiss Karen? Maybe she gave it to you.

Andy: Ha ha， very funny. No， there was no kissing， but we had some amazing conversations. There’s so much more to her than what you see on the surface. I think there is a connection between us.

Luke: Well， I’m so glad you had a wonderful date. But I’m not going to give you any sympathy for being sick. It serves you right. ①I had to look Sarah in the eye and tell her you were sick， knowing perfectly well you were enjoying a day at the beach. ②Don’t ever put me on the spot like that again. This is what you get for being The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

Andy: OK， I get it. ③What goes around， comes around. I feel like 4)crap. Give me a break，

would you?

Luke: Oh， I thought you had a break yesterday.

Andy: Now I’m going to be so far behind on my study. I should have listened to you. School comes first. Lesson learned.

Luke: Well at least you learned something. (There is a knock at the door) Who’s that?

Andy: Oh， no. I bet it’s Karen. ④She said she might drop around. You’ve got to get rid of her.

Luke: You sure you want me to tell another lie?

Andy: Yes. She can’t see me like this; just tell her I’m not home.

Luke: Hey， Andy. You’ve got a visitor.

Andy: What? Oh， Sarah. Hi.

Sarah: Hi. How are you feeling? Oh， Luke wasn’t exaggerating. You really do look horrible.

Luke: Yeah， it’s some mystery virus.

Sarah: I really didn’t want you to fall behind on your study so early in the semester， so I brought some study notes for you.

Andy: Oh， you didn’t need to do that.

Sarah: And there are also all these extra case studies I brought that you can look over if you are bored. ⑤They should give you a leg up for

the exam.

Luke: I guess there is an upside to being sick—all this free time to do extra study.

Andy: Yeah. Lucky me.

盧克:哦，伙計(jì)，你看起來不是很好。你是不是又在裝病了，這樣你就可以多逃一

天課?

安迪:不是。我想我真的病了。我感覺很不舒服，頭暈?zāi)X脹，全身發(fā)熱，還一直打

噴嚏。

盧克:你吻了凱倫了嗎?說不定是她傳染給你的。

安迪:哈哈，很好笑。不是啦，我們根本就沒接吻，不過我們聊天聊得很愉快。她比她表面看上去的有內(nèi)涵多了。我覺得我們倆相互吸引。

盧克:嗯，聽你說你約會(huì)愉快我也很高興，但對(duì)于你生病這件事，我可是一點(diǎn)都不同情。這是你活該。我得睜眼跟莎拉說瞎話，撒謊說你病了，而你其實(shí)正歡快地在海邊玩耍。你以后別再讓我遭這種罪。這本來就是說謊的小孩應(yīng)該付出的

代價(jià)。

安迪:好啦，我知道啦。一切皆有報(bào)嘛。我現(xiàn)在很難受，你就別再說我了，好吧?

盧克:噢，我以為你昨天已經(jīng)休息過了。

安迪:我現(xiàn)在肯定跟不上學(xué)習(xí)進(jìn)度了。我應(yīng)該聽你的話，學(xué)業(yè)為先的。得到教訓(xùn)了。

盧克:還好你至少吸取教訓(xùn)了。(一陣敲門聲)誰呀?

安迪:哦，不!我敢打賭那一定是凱倫。她說過她可能會(huì)來串串門。你得把她支走。

盧克:你確定你又要我撒謊嗎?

安迪:沒錯(cuò)。我不能讓她看到我這個(gè)樣子。跟她說我不在家。

盧克:嗨，安迪，你來客人了。

安迪:什么?哦，莎拉，你好啊。

莎拉:嗨，你覺得怎么樣了?哦，盧克沒有夸大事實(shí)，你看起來真的很糟糕。

盧克:對(duì)，某種神秘病毒在作怪。

莎拉:我實(shí)在不想看到你學(xué)期剛開始就落下太多功課，所以我?guī)Я藢W(xué)習(xí)筆記來給你。

安迪:哦，你真的不必這么做。

莎拉:我還給你帶了一些課外的案例分析，你如果感覺無聊煩悶時(shí)可以看一看。這些對(duì)你的考試一定大有幫助。

盧克:我想生病了也有好處——還有時(shí)間做做課外的功課。

安迪:是啊，我真是幸運(yùn)。
