Making Friends at a U.S. University

Je ne vous aime pas, ô blonde Célimène,
Et si vous l’avez cru quelque temps, apprenez
Que nous ne sommes point de ces gens que l’on mène
Avec une lisière et par le bout du nez ;
Je ne vous aime pas… depuis une semaine,
Et je ne sais pourquoi vous vous en étonnez.

Je ne vous aime pas ; vous êtes trop coquette,
Et vos moindres faveurs sont de mauvais aloi ;
Par le droit des yeux noirs, par le droit de conquête,
Il vous faut des amants. (On ne sait trop pourquoi.)
Vous jouez du regard comme d’une raquette ;
Vous en jouez, méchante… et jamais avec moi.

Je ne vous aime pas, et vous aurez beau faire,
Non, madame, jamais je ne vous aimerai.
Vous me plaisez beaucoup ; certes, je vous préfère
À Dorine, à Clarisse, à Lisette, c’est vrai.
Pourtant l’amour n’a rien à voir dans cette affaire,
Et quand il vous plaira, je vous le prouverai.

J’aurais pu vous aimer ; mais, ne vous en déplaise,
Chez moi le sentiment ne tient que par un fil…
Avouons-le, pourtant, quelque chose me pèse :
En ne vous aimant pas, comment donc se fait-il
Que je sois aussi gauche, aussi mal à mon aise
Quand vous me regardez de face ou de profil ?

Je ne vous aime pas, je n’aime rien au monde ;
Je suis de fer, je suis de roc, je suis d’airain.
Shakespeare a dit de vous : « Perfide comme l’onde » ;
Mais moi je n’ai pas peur, car j’ai le pied marin.
Pourtant quand vous parlez, ô ma sirène blonde,
Quand vous parlez, mon cœur bat comme un tambourin.
Je ne vous aime pas, c’est dit, je vous déteste,
Je vous crains comme on craint l’enfer, de peur du feu ;
Comme on craint le typhus, le choléra, la peste,
Je vous hais à la mort, madame ; mais, mon Dieu !
Expliquez-moi pourquoi je pleure, quand je reste
Deux jours sans vous parler et sans vous voir un peu.


I hate you to death Madame, but oh my god!
Explain to me why I cry, when I stay
Two days without talking to you, and without seeing you so much.

Сегодня поговорим о типичных русских способах провести время летом.

Midwestern Guy Talks about Buzzwords (episode 1)

Have you ever been "taken for a ride"? If you've been tricked or lied to before, then the answer is yes. Here are some other expressions about lying.

If someone confidently tells you a big lie and doesn't seem to feel bad about it, then you can say they are "lying through their teeth." Such people might make a "web of lies," telling many lies to make people believe them. And if someone lies all the time, you can say they "lie like a rug" – which is a joke using two meanings of "lie," because a rug can only lie on the floor.

If someone lies to you, tricks you, or wants to stop you from finding something out, you can say they are trying to "pull the wool over your eyes." The expression comes from the early 19th century, and may be talking about the wool wigs that some people wore at the time. So someone could pull your wig down, covering your eyes and stopping you from seeing what was really happening.

But not every lie is a big one. Sometimes people just "bend the truth," which is telling a small lie that is usually not serious and probably won't hurt anyone. Often people "bend the truth" by saying something that's part-true, while leaving out important information.

But if someone "stretches the truth," they are probably saying that something is better than it really is. Some people might stretch the truth to make a story more interesting.
