“賣(mài)萌”英文怎么說(shuō)？

Jessica在北京學(xué)漢語(yǔ)，她的中國(guó)朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語(yǔ)怎么說(shuō)的詞，就會(huì)來(lái)請(qǐng)教她。今天是小北要問(wèn)的：擺臭臉。

XB: Jessica，今天我可是太丟人了！

Jessica: What happened?

XB: 我在圖書(shū)館里戴著耳機(jī)聽(tīng)電腦里的音樂(lè)，結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)大家都在皺著眉頭看我，最后圖書(shū)管理員過(guò)來(lái)說(shuō)，請(qǐng)你把音樂(lè)關(guān)掉！原來(lái)我的耳機(jī)沒(méi)插牢，音樂(lè)聲都跑出來(lái)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就是沖某人擺臭臉。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“恨恨地瞪著別人”。那天我在銀行，someone cut in line. Oh, you should have seen the evil eye everybody gave him!

Jessica: 在銀行插隊(duì)被人瞪？活該！

XB: I agree! 對(duì)了，話說(shuō)今天我學(xué)習(xí)了一天，發(fā)覺(jué)我的電腦實(shí)在太慢了，我打算跟我爸張口，讓他送我一臺(tái)新的!

Jessica: Didn't your Dad just pay for your trip to Hong Kong?

XB:呵呵，那是沒(méi)錯(cuò)啦! 不過(guò)，我爸特寵我，只要我對(duì)他撒撒嬌，裝裝可憐，他什么都答應(yīng)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: 對(duì)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! 就是睜大眼睛，像小狗一樣賣(mài)萌裝可憐！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: 我才不吃這一套!

Jessicaf: So what did he do?

XB: 那還用問(wèn)，he starts mean mugging me!

XB: 今天我們學(xué)了，擺臭臉是mean mug someone; 恨恨瞪別人是give someone an evil eye; 睜大眼睛賣(mài)萌裝可憐是give someone those puppy-dog eyes.
