輕鬆日記商務職場篇 第60期:少和說人閒話的人聊天

核心句型：
I don't like to chat with people who dish the dirt about others.
我可不願意和那些愛說人閒話的人聊天。
dish the dirt about others直譯過來就是：“把關於別人不好的東西裝盤”，這個短語的正確意思是：“論人是非，說人閒話”。因此，當美國人說"I don't like to chat with people who dish the dirt about others."時，他/她要表達的意思是"I don't like to chat with the ones who spread gossip."、"I will not chat with people who talk about others behind their backs."。
情景對白：
Jane: Why not join in their conversation? They seem to have a great time.

Shirley: I don't like to chat with people who dish the dirt about others.
