The selfish person

自私的人

For Him, You’re A Detail

你在他心里根本不算什么

After you do him a favor, the selfish friend barely says thank you, and if he does, it doesn’t sound sincere.

就算你幫了他，自私的朋友也很少感謝你；就算他說(shuō)了謝謝，聽(tīng)上去也不是發(fā)自肺腑。

Try and ask him for a favor, though, and see him brush it off and never follow through with it. He or she can give you an evasive answer like“ok, I’ll call you later about this”, but it never happens. Sometimes, they just act like you never asked for anything.

你可以試著請(qǐng)他幫忙，他肯定會(huì)支支吾吾不付諸行動(dòng)。或許他/她會(huì)含糊不清地跟你說(shuō)：“好的，等我有空打電話給你再說(shuō)吧。” 但其實(shí)他/她壓根兒不會(huì)打電話給你。有時(shí)候，他們裝得像模像樣，就好像你從來(lái)沒(méi)提過(guò)請(qǐng)他們幫忙一樣。

【知識(shí)點(diǎn)講解】
