对话 Dialogue

A
说话人 A

... so, I said, ”let’s take a break.” And since that night, I’ve been waiting for him to call, but I still haven’t heard from him. You don’t think he’s seeing someone else, do you?

……所以我就说,‘咱们休息一下吧。’可从那晚起,我一直在等他打电话,却始终没有他的消息。你不会觉得他是在和别人交往吧?

B
说话人 B

Come on, don’t be so dramatic! I’m sure everything is going to work out just fine.

哎呀,别这么夸张!我相信一切都会好起来的。

A
说话人 A

You think so? Oh, no! How can he do this to me? I’m sure he’s cheating on me! Why else wouldn’t he call?

你真这么想?哦,不!他怎么能这样对我?我肯定他出轨了!不然他为什么不打电话?

B
说话人 B

But, you two are on a break. Theoretically he can do whatever he likes.

可是,你们俩在冷静期啊。理论上他想做什么都可以。

A
说话人 A

He’s the love of my life! I’ve really messed this up.

他是我一生的挚爱!我真的搞砸了。

B
说话人 B

Come on, hon. Pull yourself together. It’s going to be alright.

好了,亲爱的,振作起来。会没事的。

A
说话人 A

But I... I still love him! And it’s all my fault! I can’t believe how immature and selfish I was being. I mean, he is a firefighter, it’s not like he can just leave someone in a burning building and meet me for dinner. I’ve totally messed this up!

但我……我还是爱他!而且都是我的错!我真不敢相信自己当时那么幼稚自私。我是说,他是个消防员,总不能把别人丢在着火的大楼里来跟我吃饭吧。我彻底搞砸了!

B
说话人 B

You know what, Veronica, I think you should make the first step. I’m sure he’ll forgive you...

你知道吗,维罗妮卡,我觉得你应该主动迈出第一步。我相信他会原谅你的……

A
说话人 A

No, this is not gonna happen! I... I’ve ruinedeverything...

不,这不可能!我……我毁了一切……

B
说话人 B

Hey... do you hear something? Guess what? It’s your lovely firefighter!

嘿……你听到什么了吗?猜猜看?是你可爱的消防员!

C
说话人 C

When I had you, I treated you bad and wrong dear. And since, since you went away, don’t you know I sit around with my head hanging down and I wonder who’s loving you.

拥有你的时候,我对你不好也不对,亲爱的。自从你离开后,你知道吗,我整日垂头丧气, wondering 是谁在爱着你。

马可

Hello English learners! Welcome back to EnglishPod! My name is Marco.

艾丽卡

And I’m Erica.

马可

And today we’re bringing you part four of our romantic series called I’m Sorry, I Love You.

艾丽卡

Yeah, and today we’ve got some drama, don’t we?

马可

We got a lot of drama and we got a lot of useful language.

艾丽卡

Yeah, we’re gonna learn, um, some phrases we can use to describe a mistake.

马可

Uhu.

艾丽卡

And, uh, we’re also going to learn how we can comfort someone, we can make them feel better.

马可

Okay, exactly, so, in our dialogue today Veronica and her boyfriend are on a break.

艾丽卡

Right.

马可

So, what does it mean to be on a break?

艾丽卡

Well, it means you stop having a romantic relationship for a short time.

马可

So, you can say “We are on a break”.

艾丽卡

So, we’re not dating.

马可

We’re not dating.

艾丽卡

But…

马可

Oh…

艾丽卡

We don’t date.

马可

Oh… Hehe. Or we could say “Let’s take a break”.

艾丽卡

Right, so, we’ve got this state on a break and the action take a break.

马可

Take a break.

艾丽卡

Uhu.

马可

Okay, let’s take a break. Okay, so, let’s listen to our dialogue and it’s gonna be a little bit fast and the girl, I think, she’s crying, so, it’ll be a little bit difficult to understand.

艾丽卡

But Marco and I will come back in a minute and we’ll talk about some of the difficult language here.

马可

Wow, that’s a romantic boyfriend singing in the street.

艾丽卡

Yeah, yeah, that’s amazing. Have you… Have you ever done that for a girl?

马可

Uh… no. Hehe.

艾丽卡

Hehe. Well, have you… have you ever sung to a girl on KTV.

马可

I’ve sung to a girl on KTV.

艾丽卡

And karaoke.

马可

Karaoke, yeah.

艾丽卡

Yeah.

马可

So, but not so much as on… on the street with all the neighbors coming out to see me.

艾丽卡

Well, okay, well, I don’t blame you.

马可

Hehe. Alright, let’s take a look at the language that we saw in our dialogue on “language takeaway”. Voice: Language takeaway.

马可

Alright, so, let’s take a look at our first word – seeing someone.

艾丽卡

Seeing someone.

马可

Seeing someone.

艾丽卡

Seeing someone.

马可

So, if I’m seeing someone…

艾丽卡

You’re dating them.

马可

I’m dating them.

艾丽卡

Yeah.

马可

I’m frequently going out with that person.

艾丽卡

Right.

马可

So, but it’s not very serious.

艾丽卡

N… No… it is serious.

马可

But not really, it’s more of a casual thing. It’s not very exclusive.

艾丽卡

So… So, if you’re seeing someone, then you can also s… see another person.

马可

Maybe.

艾丽卡

Hm.

马可

Hehe.

艾丽卡

Well, I think sometimes seeing someone can mean actually they’re your boyfriend or girlfriend. Like, I’m seeing John, he is my boyfriend.

马可

Okay, yeah, see, this is the difficult thing about seeing someone is that for some people it means it’s really serious, while for other people it means it’s more casual.

艾丽卡

I guess it’s important that you and your boyfriend of girlfriend share the same view on the meaning of this word.

马可

Alright. Have to agree on what seeing someone means.

艾丽卡

Okay, well, what’s our next word, Marco?

马可

Cheating on.

艾丽卡

Cheating on someone.

马可

Cheating on me.

艾丽卡

Cheating on someone.

马可

Okay, so, if you’re cheating on someone…

艾丽卡

Then you are like kissing or even having sex with someone, who’s not your boyfriend or your husband, or your girlfriend or your wife.

马可

Exactly, so…

艾丽卡

Yeah.

马可

If I say “She cheated on me”…

艾丽卡

Uhu.

马可

That means that my girlfriend kissed of had sex with another guy.

艾丽卡

Right.

马可

But if I say “She cheated me”…

艾丽卡

Yeah, that’ different.

马可

That’s different, right?

艾丽卡

It’s different. Maybe she sold you something for a really high price.

马可

She cheated me.

艾丽卡

Yeah.

马可

Or maybe she sold me something that was fake.

艾丽卡

Or, yeah… or broken or something.

马可

Or broken.

艾丽卡

Yeah.

马可

Okay, so…

艾丽卡

So, cheated on is really different from cheated.

马可

Okay, let’s take a look at our next word – messed this up.

艾丽卡

Messed this up.

马可

Messed this up.

艾丽卡

Messed this up. So, Marco, this is a phrasal verb, um, and that means we can sort of switch it around a little bit, right?

马可

Exactly, why don’t we listen to some examples and then we can come back and talk some more. Voice: Example one.

阿米拉

I messed up on the examen and now I passed my class. Voice: Example two.

B

When I’m cooking I always mess up and burn the rice.

马可

Okay, so, messed up, it’s pretty clear I think.

艾丽卡

Yeah.

马可

Alright, let’s take a look at our next word – amateur.

艾丽卡

Amateur.

马可

Amateur.

艾丽卡

Amateur.

马可

So, when someone is amateur…

艾丽卡

They’re acting really young.

马可

Really young, right?

艾丽卡

Yeah.

马可

But it’s not a very good thing to be amateur.

艾丽卡

No, it’s… it has a negative meaning.

马可

Right, it’s normal for children to be amateur.

艾丽卡

Cause they’re children.

马可

Right, but not an adult.

艾丽卡

Yes.

马可

Okay.

艾丽卡

So, we’ve got some examples that will help you to understand this word a little bit better. Voice: Example one.

阿米拉

Your toilet jokes are not funny. Stop being so amateur. Voice: Example two.

B

Jenny acts like she’s sixteen. She’s so amateur. Voice: Example three.

凯瑟琳

God, you and your friends always act so amateur.

马可

Alright, so, amateur. Now, let’s take a look at our next word – selfish.

艾丽卡

Selfish.

马可

Selfish.

艾丽卡

Selfish.

马可

So, a selfish person…

艾丽卡

Is a person, who only thinks about themselves.

马可

Okay, so, I only think about me.

艾丽卡

Uhu.

马可

No one else.

艾丽卡

Yeah, you don’t care about other people’s feelings.

马可

Okay. So, it’s not a good think to be amateur or selfish.

艾丽卡

Exactly.

马可

Okay, so, I think it’s time for us to listen to our dialogue again. We’re gonna slow it down a little bit.

艾丽卡

And this will help you to understand these phrases a little bit more clearly. DIALOGUE, SECOND TIME (slow)

马可

Okay, so, we saw Veronica’s friend trying to calm her down, right?

艾丽卡

Yeah, trying to comfort her.

马可

Okay, to make her feel better.

艾丽卡

Uhu.

马可

Let’s take a look at some of the phrases she used in “fluency builder”. Voice: Fluency builder.

马可

Okay, so, what was the first phrase that she said?

艾丽卡

Everything is going to work out just fine.

马可

Everything is going to work out just fine.

艾丽卡

Everything is gonna work out just fine.

马可

What does that mean?

艾丽卡

It’s going to be okay.

马可

It’s going to be okay, right?

艾丽卡

Yeah, the problem will be solved.

马可

Okay, so, if somebody’s worried or somebody is crying, you…

艾丽卡

Yeah.

马可

You can say “Oh, don’t worry, everything is going to work out just fine”.

艾丽卡

Uhu.

马可

Okay. Okay, let’s look at the next one - pull yourself together.

艾丽卡

Pull yourself together.

马可

Pull yourself together.

艾丽卡

Pull yourself together.

马可

So, what does that mean, exactly? It sounds kind of weird.

艾丽卡

I know, I guess it… it just means stop crying, relax and, you know, take a deep breath.

马可

Okay. Just like calm down.

艾丽卡

Yeah, yeah.

马可

Get organized.

艾丽卡

Yeah-yeah-yeah.

马可

With your ideas and your thoughts.

艾丽卡

Yeah. So, you can think of maybe somebody, who’s got tears down their face and everything is sort of in a mess.

马可

Uhu.

艾丽卡

If you pull it together, they clean up and they…

马可

Okay.

艾丽卡

They sort of relax, right?

马可

Okay. Pull yourself together.

艾丽卡

Uhu.

马可

Alright, and the last phrase that we saw – it’s going to be alright.

艾丽卡

It’s going to be alright.

马可

It’s going to be alright.

艾丽卡

It’s going to be alright.

马可

So, it’s going to be alright means everything is going to be okay.

艾丽卡

Yeah, it’s going to be fine.

马可

It’s going to be fine.

艾丽卡

The problem will go away.

马可

You…

艾丽卡

You’ll feel better.

马可

Maybe you can even say “It’ll be alright”.

艾丽卡

Yeah, yeah.

马可

It’ll be alright.

艾丽卡

Yeah. These are three really helpful phrases that you can use when you wanna say something nice to a friend or a colleague, who… who has a problem.

马可

Okay, exactly, very useful language. So, let’s listen to some more examples. Voice: Example one.

阿米拉

Don’t worry, everything is going to work out just fine. I’m sure he still loves you. Voice: Example two.

B

Everything is gonna be alright. We’ll find your puppy. Don’t worry!

马可

Okay, great examples and I think it’s clear now.

艾丽卡

Uhu.

马可

So, let’s listen to our dialogue again and then we’ll come back and talk some more.

马可

Okay, I really like this dialogue. It’s so romantic.

艾丽卡

Yeah.

马可

It’s drama, but at the same time romantic.

艾丽卡

Uhu.

马可

So, we want to know what you think will happen next?

艾丽卡

Yeah, will they get back together?

马可

Will they get married?

艾丽卡

Will the have a baby?

马可

Maybe they’ll break up for ever.

艾丽卡

Maybe she’ll move halfway across the world.

马可

Hehe. Anything can happen, so, let us know what you think will happen.

艾丽卡

Uhu, come to our website at englishpod.com and leave your comments on the lesson page.

马可

Exactly, and maybe you’ll be right.

艾丽卡

Yeah, you never know.

马可

Okay. So, we’re out of time for today. I hope you guys had fun and we’ll see you next time. Until then it’s…

艾丽卡

Good bye!

马可

Bye!
