一、邊聽邊學Listen and Learn
pound the pavement 找工作
shoot the breeze 聊天
get under one's skin 激怒某人
up to here with sb. 受夠了
put sb. on the spot 使某人尷尬
give someone the third degree 盤問某人
come clean 坦白交代

二、邊聽邊說Listen and Speak
A:John's going to be pounding the pavement if he doesn't stop shooting the breeze all day.
如果約翰再不停止聊天，他就要去找工作了。
B: He's starting to get under the boss's skin. He is up to here with John.
他就要惹怒老板了，老板已經快受不了約翰了。
A:I hope the boss doesn’t put me on the spot about John. He’ll probably give me the third degree.
希望約翰不要拖累我。老板或許會不斷找我問話。
B: I know you don’t have the heart to squeal on him but I think you have to come clean.
我想你不會扯他的后臺，不過還是說真話較好。
