卡萝∶ 好,走吧。就让男伴们留在这里聊天吧。对了,奶的男伴是怎麽一回事?乔治?奶是认真的吗?

好用句
throw sb. a curve (ball) 做出令人意想不到的事

在棒球中,curve ball 指的是曲球。这种球会让打者无法预测球进垒的路线及位置,因而无法掌握击球点。所以 throw a curve ball 即用来引申为某事或某人变幻莫测,让人摸不著头绪。
A: I thought the boss was going to fire me, but he ended up giving me a promotion.
我以为老板要开除我,但最後他让我升官。
B: Wow. He really threw you a curve ball.
哇,他真的让你摸不著头绪。
