点滴露言系列之 (五)换上你的扑克脸

星期二早上,我和M先生一同进了电梯,问过好,他说我有两个新客户在等着我呢,是一对couple,女的四十几岁,男的却是八十多了。我心想,这有什么奇怪,比这还悬殊的年龄组合我也见过。他接着说,他们还有一个两三岁的孩子。我的嘴巴一下子张得大大的。M先生笑笑,“快别那么惊讶,让他们看见了不好。” 我赶紧说:“I'll hide my impression.” 他更正我,“put on your poker face”。

他接着解释到,你玩过poker吧,每个人的脸上都要保持毫无表情才行,那是赌徒们的技巧。我说,对,还有大墨镜。

说着说着,我们就到了,看见前台有两个陌生人,我忙扫了一眼就钻进了我的办公室。我怕我挂不住那张扑克脸。

    • interesting........
    • it is new for me. Thanks. BTW, what does 'chicken' mean?
      • chicken means the meat you love to eat. It also means loser, I dare you call me that. ^O^
      • Followin the question in last message. the context is: after I sent some data (not complete)to one accountant of my company, she called me back and said'chicken, haha, just kiding, you have been a big help'
        • at that point, she is calling you "胆小鬼".
    • :D
    • I love your writing. short but meaningful. Thanks
      • Thanks. I love the supports from all of YOU.
    • To add something here, I would say that word may have some other implications. When you describe a person who even grudges a smile to people around or who appears very cold, indifferent, you may also use "poker face".
