An Interesting English Class
Today our English teacher told us a lot of words easy to be misunderstood.We looked at those words began to guess their meanings in Chinese,but the real answer was not the same with our speculation. We learned a new knowledge by the way of interacting with the teacher , This is just some of them,do you know the real meaning of these words?

bus boy =Part-time people 兼职的人
busy boy =put one's finger in another's pie 多管闲事的人

confidence man =fraud 骗子

If according to the Chinese meaning directly translate these sentences are very interesting, but it's wrong to do so.On the contrary,we should really understand them to learn English well.
