        A: Did you know that Steve got fired?
        B: No, but I expected it. He was always making wisecracks about how others worked. It was bound to irritate the wrong person eventually.
        A: Gosh, I thought he was kind of funny.
        B: That’s because you never heard him talk about you.
        A: 你知道吗？Steve被解雇了。
        B: 不知道，不过我早料到了。他总是说俏皮话取笑别人的工作，早晚会得罪人的。

        B: 那是因为你从来没听到他议论你。
