The selfish person

自私的人

For Him, You’re A Detail

你在他心里根本不算什么

After you do him a favor, the selfish friend barely says thank you, and if he does, it doesn’t sound sincere.

就算你帮了他，自私的朋友也很少感谢你；就算他说了谢谢，听上去也不是发自肺腑。

Try and ask him for a favor, though, and see him brush it off and never follow through with it. He or she can give you an evasive answer like“ok, I’ll call you later about this”, but it never happens. Sometimes, they just act like you never asked for anything.

你可以试着请他帮忙，他肯定会支支吾吾不付诸行动。或许他/她会含糊不清地跟你说：“好的，等我有空打电话给你再说吧。” 但其实他/她压根儿不会打电话给你。有时候，他们装得像模像样，就好像你从来没提过请他们帮忙一样。

【知识点讲解】

brush off 刷掉; 掸掉; <口>拒绝听; 不理睬;
