实战口语情景对话 第819期:The Break Up 分手

Crystal: Hey, George, actually it's funny that you mentioned relationships cause I'm actually having a problem with Joe.
克里斯托尔：嘿，乔治，正好你提到了情侣有关系，我和乔之间出了点儿问题。

George: Is that the guy with the curly hair?
乔治：是那个头发卷卷的男生吗？

Crystal: Yeah, that guy. He's really nice and everything, but like I really don't think it's working out.
克里斯托尔：对，就是他。他人很好，什么都好，可是我就是觉得我们俩不适合。

George: Why what's wrong?
乔治：为什么？有什么问题？

Crystal: Well, he's really narrow-minded and I'm really different. We just ... he's nice and everything. He's kind and sweet, and it's just not for me, like we're totally different people.
克里斯托尔：他思想狭隘，而我和他完全相反。他人很好，善良又温柔，可是我不是这样，我们是完全不同的两个人。

George: I see. So what are you going to do?
乔治：我明白了。那你打算怎么做？

Crystal: I think I have to rip the band-aid and I think I'm just gonna send him an e-mail or something.
克里斯托尔：我想长痛不如短痛，我打算给他发封电子邮件说分手。

George: E-mail! But you've been dating for awhile now and you like him right?
乔治：电子邮件！可是你们已经约会一段时间了，你喜欢他，不是吗？

Crystal: Yeah, we're like so sweet together, but it's just ... I don't see a future.
克里斯托尔：是，我们在一起时很美好，可是……我看不到未来。

George: But isn't an e-mail just a little too cold and he might tell other people about it, and rumors spreading and what not.
乔治：可是用电子邮件分手是不是太冷漠了？他可能会和其他人说这件事，这样谣言就会传播开来。

Crystal: OK, then, what do you think I should do? How should I do it?
克里斯托尔：那你认为我应该怎么做？我怎么做才合适？

George: You should probably just meet him face-to-face?
乔治：或许你应该和他面对面说清楚。

Crystal: Ugh! Face-to-face. OK. Where should I meet him? Like do you think I should just invite him over to my place?
克里斯托尔：啊！面对面。好，那我应该在哪里和他见面？你认为我应该请他去我家吗？

George: You should probably do it in public, where, you know...
乔治：你最好约他在公共场所见面，你知道的……

Crystal: Ooh, good, good, good, good. That's better.
克里斯托尔：哦，好，好，这很好，很好。这样更好。

George: Maybe that cafe.
乔治：可以在那家咖啡厅。

Crystal: Ah, that cafe. Yeah.
克里斯托尔：啊，那家咖啡厅。对。

George: While I'm having my date, you can be breaking up with your boyfriend. It'll be great!
乔治：我约会时，你可以和你男友分手。那样不错！

Crystal: You're so mean.
克里斯托尔：你太坏了。

George: I'm sorry. That was uncalled for.
乔治：抱歉。我失言了。

Crystal: I don't know what to say. What do you think would hurt him less?
克里斯托尔：我不知道要怎么和他说。你认为怎么说对他的伤害小些？

George: I gotta say honesty would be the best policy.
乔治：我认为你最好实话实说。

Crystal: Honesty. OK, so this is what I'm going to say. Joe, you're great, but we're not meant to be. How's that?
克里斯托尔：实话实说。好，那我就这样说，乔，你非常好，可是我们不应该在一起。这么说怎么样？

George: Yeah, it's great. It's great.
乔治：好，这个不错。这个很好。

Crystal: OK, so, OK, OK, I'm done. I think I'll meet him at the cafe, and OK, things will work from then. I'll improvise.
克里斯托尔：好，好，搞定了。我想我会约他在那家咖啡厅见面，然后和他说清楚。我可以看情况组织语言。

George: Great.
乔治：很好。
