我的朋友里欧只要有不想做的事情，就说一些差劲的借口。
[00:12:05]Just 2 weeks ago, he was at my house when he decided he didn't want to go into work. He called his boss and said he had to get a new set of tires to put on his truck. Then, he sat down and watch TV with me.
两周前，他在我家，当他决定不去工作时，他就打电话跟老板说他的车要换一个新轮胎。然后，他就继续坐下与我一起看电视。
[00:30:19]Not only had he lied, but his excuse wasn't a very convincing one.
他不仅撒谎，而且他的谎言也没有说服性。
[00:36:50]Another time he canceled a date with his girlfriend at the last minute, telling her he had to get a new battery for his truck.
