Lily: Cagey? 什么意思呢? (来源：英语麦当劳www.EnglishCN.com)

Lily: 一个不愿向你透露任何信息的人就可以被形容为 cagey. Can you give us an example Jo?

Jo: Well for example, I might ask you where you're going tonight and you won't really answer my question – you might have a very good or very personal reason for not telling me but I might describe you as cagey.

Lily: 如果你问我今晚打算干什么,我不想告诉你，于是躲躲闪闪不直接回答你的问题，这就是 cagey. 汉语就是回避。
