dialogue 1

 

J: Jack and Mary broke up.

杰克和玛丽分手了。

 

A: it’s so sad. They had been together for only two months. Do you know what the matter was?

真令人伤心！他们在一起只有2个月。你知道为什么吗？

 

J: Mary said Jack was cheating on her. Jack was seeing a girl from his hometown. One day, Maey saw them 

holding hands and ended the relationship immediately.

玛丽说杰克背着她和别人交往。杰克和他的一个老乡一直很暧昧。一天，玛丽看见他们手牵着手，当场就和他分手了。

 

A: really? I’m very surprised. He doesn’t look like a guy who’d ever do that sort of thing, right?

真的吗？我感到很意外。杰克看起来不像那种人，是吧？

 

J: no, he doesn’t. Anyway, she found out that he had been two-timing her for a long time.

不像。不过，玛丽发现他脚踩两只船已经很长时间了。

 

A: maybe it is for the best. They are not suitable for each other because they have nothing in common and are completely different people.

也许这样对彼此都好。他们根本不适合，没有共同语言，性格也不和。

 

J: how so?

怎么说？

 

A: he is an extrovert while she is an introvert. He likes parties while she hates them. 

他外向她内向，他喜欢聚会而她讨厌聚会。

 

J: poor Mary! She really liked him.

玛丽真可怜！她以前很喜欢杰克。

 

A: anyway, she was right to end things and she deserves better.

不过，她这样做比较明智，她应该遇到更好的。

 

B: do you think they’ll get back together?

你觉得他们会和好吗？

 

A: no, I don’t think so. I know Mary. Once she makes a decision, she won’t change her mind.

我不这么认为。我了解玛丽，她一旦做了决定，就很难改变了。

 

J: I hope she’ll recover soon.

真希望她能快点回复过来。

 

A: so do I. 

我也是。

A: this is tough to say, Jordan, but I think we should break up.

乔丹，我知道这很痛苦，但是我们还是分手吧。

 

J: are you serious?

你不是开玩笑吧？

 

A: yes, I mean it.

不，我很认真。

 

J: but why? Did I do anything wrong?

但是，为什么啊？我做错了什么吗？

 

A: no, we are just too different. This isn’t working.

没有，只是我们性格太不同了。我们之间不会有结果的。

 

J: hey, come on. It’s too early to say that. We can fix things.

啊，别这样。现在说这些太早了，我们可以在一起的。

我已经想了很长时间了，我想我们还是各走各的路吧。

对不起。

 

J: I knew this would happen some day…

我知道迟早会有这一天的。

 

A: then why didn’t you talk to me?

那你为什么不早告诉我呢？

 

J: well. It’s not all my fault, Anna…

可是，也不是全是我的错，安娜。

 

A: I don't want to argue with you anymore. This is going to be tough, but et’s try and be friends.
