　　Brad: 大家好，我是Brad.

　　Nick: 在生活中，我们可能会遇到有一些人，嘴巴闲不住，喜欢对别人指指点点。比如你说你炒股，这个人可能就会说，今天你买的股票可能要跌了。或者说今天你觉得阳光明媚，没有带伞，他转眼就说，"别看今天天气这么好，等下就要下雨。"等等，总之他会往你希望的反方向来说话。我们把这样的行为叫乌鸦嘴。今天我们来学习，乌鸦嘴怎么说？

　　Nick: Brad, I'm worrying about my final later.

　　Brad: What? What is it?

　　Nick: It's my Anthropology¹ class. I've been studying for this class for a long time but still, I'm not confident right now.

　　Brad: I don't get it. You've studying for a long time. What exactly are worrying about?

　　Nick: Eh, there are some types of questions I'm not familiar with, like Human Evolution part and Afarensis part. I hope they'll not be in the exam.

　　Brad: Oh they are important. There are definitely questions about them. Trust me bro.

　　Nick: Oh no! Don't jinx it!

　　Brad: I mean it! I took this class last semester, my instructor² said they were super important and it turned out she was right, we had a certain amount of questions on our final.Didn't your instructor tell you that?

　　Nick: Nah… I don't know. She probably did actually. Or not? I didn't know coz I asked a day off.

　　Brad: You should ask your classmates to confirm that.

　　Nick: Yeah you are right. I'll go ask them. Thanks!

　　Nick:在这里，我说我考试有一些地方没有复习到，Brad就说可能要考这些，我就说，你可别乌鸦嘴了，don't jinx it就是说不要乌鸦嘴的意思了。So this is pretty much it for this time, I'll see you guys next time, bye.

　　Brad: bye
