商務口語學習 在辦公室閑聊如何表達情感

   Mary: Jane, I'm very upset about something. Can I talk with you? I'd like your opinion.

    瑪麗：簡，我心情不好，能和你聊聊嗎？我想聽聽你的意見。

    Jane: What is it about? Oh, is it about Ed?

    簡：怎么了？哦，是關于愛德華嗎？

    Mary: Yeah, sort of...

    瑪麗：差不多吧。

    Jane: So, what's up?

    簡：到底怎么了？

    Mary: What do you think of Ed, Jane?

    瑪麗：你覺得他這人怎么樣，簡？

    Jane: What do I think of him? You know him better than I do, don't you?

    簡：我覺得他怎么樣？你比我更了解他呀，不是嗎？

    Mary: Please, don't tease me. Just tell me.

    瑪麗：求你，別逗我了。快告訴我。

    Jane: Well, remember the other day when you said that Ed is a man who really shows you nothing but consideration?

    簡：好吧，還記得那天你說愛德華非常關心你吧？

    Mary: Uh-hunh...

    瑪麗：恩。

    Jane: And remember you said that he really makes you happy?

    簡：記得你說過他能讓你開心？

    Mary: Yeah. (Heave a sigh) Ed is indeed a gentleman. He has wonderful manners and is respectful of me. But I'm really bothered by his past!

    瑪麗：是（嘆氣）。他確實是個紳士。他舉止得體、對我很有禮貌。但是一想到他的過去我就心煩意亂。

    Jane: His past!? Was he an ex-con or something?

    簡：他的過去？他過去坐過牢還是什么？

    Mary: No, no, no. That's not what I mean. He used to have a girlfriend and he loved her very much. He almost married her if it were not for an accident.

    瑪麗：不是不是，我不是這個意思。他曾經有一個女朋友，而且非常愛她。如果不是一次意外他差點跟她結婚。

    Jane: Oh, I see. But why are you so bothered? That's already a history, isn't it?

    簡：哦，原來是這樣。但是你煩什么呢？那已經是過去了呀，不是嗎？

    Mary: I know. But I just can't get it off my mind.

    瑪麗：我知道，但是我總是想個沒完。

    Jane: Come on, Mary. You're just being a little jealous, but that's just fine. You know, when you love him, you've got to love his past, his everything...

    簡：哎呀，瑪麗，你就是有點嫉妒罷了，沒關系的。知道嗎，你愛他就要愛他的過去、愛他的全部。
