實戰(zhàn)口語情景對話：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.

克里斯托爾：嘿，喬治，正好你提到了情侶有關(guān)系，我和喬之間出了點兒問題。

George: Is that the guy with the curly hair?

喬治：是那個頭發(fā)卷卷的男生嗎?

Crystal: Yeah, that guy. He's really nice and everything, but like I really don't think it's working out.

克里斯托爾：對，就是他。他人很好，什么都好，可是我就是覺得我們倆不適合。

George: Why what's wrong?

喬治：為什么?有什么問題?

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.

克里斯托爾：他思想狹隘，而我和他完全相反。他人很好，善良又溫柔，可是我不是這樣，我們是完全不同的兩個人。

George: I see. So what are you going to do?

喬治：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.

克里斯托爾：我想長痛不如短痛，我打算給他發(fā)封電子郵件說分手。

George: E-mail! But you've been dating for awhile now and you like him right?

喬治：電子郵件!可是你們已經(jīng)約會一段時間了，你喜歡他，不是嗎?

Crystal: Yeah, we're like so sweet together, but it's just ... I don't see a future.

克里斯托爾：是，我們在一起時很美好，可是……我看不到未來。

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.

喬治：可是用電子郵件分手是不是太冷漠了?他可能會和其他人說這件事，這樣謠言就會傳播開來。

Crystal: OK, then, what do you think I should do? How should I do it?

克里斯托爾：那你認(rèn)為我應(yīng)該怎么做?我怎么做才合適?

George: You should probably just meet him face-to-face?

喬治：或許你應(yīng)該和他面對面說清楚。

Crystal: Ugh! Face-to-face. OK. Where should I meet him? Like do you think I should just invite him over to my place?

克里斯托爾：啊!面對面。好，那我應(yīng)該在哪里和他見面?你認(rèn)為我應(yīng)該請他去我家嗎?

George: You should probably do it in public, where, you know...

喬治：你最好約他在公共場所見面，你知道的……

Crystal: Ooh, good, good, good, good. That's better.

克里斯托爾：哦，好，好，這很好，很好。這樣更好。

George: Maybe that cafe.

喬治：可以在那家咖啡廳。

Crystal: Ah, that cafe. Yeah.

克里斯托爾：啊，那家咖啡廳。對。

George: While I'm having my date, you can be breaking up with your boyfriend. It'll be great!

喬治：我約會時，你可以和你男友分手。那樣不錯!

Crystal: You're so mean.

克里斯托爾：你太壞了。

George: I'm sorry. That was uncalled for.

喬治：抱歉。我失言了。

Crystal: I don't know what to say. What do you think would hurt him less?

克里斯托爾：我不知道要怎么和他說。你認(rèn)為怎么說對他的傷害小些?

George: I gotta say honesty would be the best policy.

喬治：我認(rèn)為你最好實話實說。

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?

克里斯托爾：實話實說。好，那我就這樣說，喬，你非常好，可是我們不應(yīng)該在一起。這么說怎么樣?

George: Yeah, it's great. It's great.

喬治：好，這個不錯。這個很好。

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.

克里斯托爾：好，好，搞定了。我想我會約他在那家咖啡廳見面，然后和他說清楚。我可以看情況組織語言。

George: Great.

喬治：很好。
