职场社交英语 Lesson 61:咱俩都是诈包
SCENE① A 吉娜与戴夫继续在停车场说话

吉娜: 文斯给不了你要的待遇当时,你就决定卖情报给“网路搜寻家”?
Dave: That's right.
戴夫: 没错。
Zina: So you are really my secret admirer, or did you just want to 1) seduce me to find out more secrets?
吉娜: 那你真的是在暗恋我,还是在引诱我泄露情报给你?
Dave: A little bit of both, to be honest.
戴夫: 老实说,两者都有一点吧。
Zina: You know what, Dave, I think I like you more now than I did before.
吉娜: 你知道吗,戴夫,我现在比以前更喜欢你。
Dave: I guess we're both snakes, aren't we?

【a little bit of both 兼而有之】
a little bit of both字面上的意思是“两者都有一点”,在使用上,可以用来回答对方的问题,若对方问到你两种可能,你觉得两个因素都有,你就可以用上a little bit of both,来表达“兼而有之”的概念。

A: I'm a little afraid of talking to my boss.
我有点怕跟老板说话。
B: I can understand. Last time he showed you no mercy.
