每天三分钟学英语 第191期:外国人说你poor guy可不是骂你"穷小子"的意思

对话一：
A: He made me choose between him and my job.
他让我在他和工作之间选一个。
B: Whoa, that's intense. What are you going to do?
哇，这太夸张了吧。那你打算怎么办？

对话二：
比如公司年度目标没完成，老板大发雷霆：
A: She was really pissed during the meeting.

B: That was intense. I've never seen her that angry before.
哇，太恐怖了，我以前从来没见过他发火。

Poor guy
可怜的家伙
Poor除了穷，还可以形容人“可怜”。比如说poor guy/girl，也可以直接poor+人名。

Tim没有地方去了，他都住在街上好几个月了。
