跑路老板 Runaway Bosses
整个浙江省，1-9月共有228位老板“跑路”。这一异常的“跑路”潮现象引起围观。10月中旬，随着政府的积极介入，救市措施陆续出台，“跑路”老板开始返回温州。同时，警方开始对恶意跑路的老板进行逮捕。
请看新华社的报道：Police begin to arrest"runaway bosses"： Police have begun arresting entrepreneurs who have gone into hiding to avoid repaying bank and informal high-interest loans.
警方开始拘捕“跑路老板”：警方开始逮捕为逃避偿还银行贷款及民间高利贷而跑路的老板。
Runaway bosses就是指的“跑路老板”。“跑路”的说法来自于台湾地区，台语念作“走路”，写做中文字即是“跑路”，一般指做了坏事而被警察通缉，也可能是遇到危难（如欠钱、负债等）被黑道份子追杀或者被地下钱庄等追讨金钱而不得不逃走。runaway用作名词就可以指“逃跑者”。类似的说法还有runaway child（出走的孩子）、runaway horse（脱缰之马）。
Runaway还可以形容发展迅猛的、（物价）飞涨的，比如runaway inflation（失控的通货膨胀）。最近《乔布斯传》出版后非常畅销，我们就可以说它是runaway best-seller（抢手的畅销书）。Runaway在这里的意思是“遥遥领先的”。

To Not Buy That
When we go shopping，it is often easy to decide what we'd like to buy and what we want to disregard or leave for another time.Other times there is added pressure from a salesperson who tries to convince us to purchase something.If we realize that the salesperson is actually lying or deceiving us in order to make a sale，then we may say，"I'm never going to buy that."
This idiom to buy something is used not only with physical items that are for sale，but indeed in any situation where we do not trust the words or explanations that we are hearing.It means that we think the story we are hearing is not true.It may be purposely false in order to deceive us or unintentionally untrue because the speaker has mistaken the facts.In any case，it's always best to double check the facts and don't"buy"everything you hear.
疑难解析
disregard [disri'ɡɑ：d] vt.忽视；不理；漠视；不顾 n.忽视；不尊重
salesperson ['seilz，p：sn] n.售货员
convince [kn'vins] vt.说服；使确信，使信服
idiom ['idim] n.成语，习语；土话

参考译文
不买账
当我们购物时，往往很容易决定买什么，但也可能看不上某些商品或某些商品决定下次再买。有时候，营业员试图说服我们购买一些东西。如果我们意识到营业员实际上在说谎或想欺骗我们购买他们的东西，那么我们可以这样说：“我不会买你的帐的。”
当你不是在购物时，这个习语的使用不仅可以与具体出售的东西有关，还可以用在当我们不相信我们所听到的话或解释的情况下。这意味着，我们认为我们听到的话不是真的。这些话可能是故意欺骗我们，也可能是因为讲话者的失误而弄错了事实。在任何情况下，我们最好仔细核准事实的真相而不要轻易地“买别人的帐”。

Dear Cell Free：People who are overly attached to their phones do not realize how rude they are，and in this instance，your friend may have been showing off a bit.You can tell her that it bothers you to be deliberately ignored and hope she will shape up.Or，you can simply stop whatever you are doing and pointedly but politely wait for her to finish her conversation.If that means parking the car，do it.
