Jessica在北京学汉语，她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教她。今天是小北要问的：摆臭脸。
XB: Jessica，今天我可是太丢人了！
Jessica: What happened?
XB: 我在图书馆里戴着耳机听电脑里的音乐，结果发现大家都在皱着眉头看我，最后图书管理员过来说，请你把音乐关掉！原来我的耳机没插牢，音乐声都跑出来了！
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就是冲某人摆臭脸。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“恨恨地瞪着别人”。那天我在银行，someone cut in line. Oh, you should have seen the evil eye everybody gave him!
Jessica: 在银行插队被人瞪？活该！
XB: I agree! 对了，话说今天我学习了一天，发觉我的电脑实在太慢了，我打算跟我爸张口，让他送我一台新的!
Jessica: Didn't your Dad just pay for your trip to Hong Kong?
XB:呵呵，那是没错啦! 不过，我爸特宠我，只要我对他撒撒娇，装装可怜，他什么都答应我！
Jessica: Haha! Daddy's little girl likes to use the puppy-dog eyes trick!
XB: Puppy-dog eyes? 小狗的眼睛？
Jessica: 对啊。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! 就是睁大眼睛，像小狗一样卖萌装可怜！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: 我才不吃这一套!
Jessicaf: So what did he do?
XB: 那还用问，he starts mean mugging me!
XB: 今天我们学了，摆臭脸是mean mug someone; 恨恨瞪别人是give someone an evil eye; 睁大眼睛卖萌装可怜是give someone those puppy-dog eyes.
