BEC口语：商务口语学习 在办公室闲聊如何表达情感

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

　　玛丽：简，我心情不好，能和你聊聊吗?我想听听你的意见。

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

　　简：怎么了?哦，是关于爱德华吗?

　　Mary: Yeah, sort of...

　　玛丽：差不多吧。

　　Jane: So, what's up?

　　简：到底怎么了?

　　Mary: What do you think of Ed, Jane?

　　玛丽：你觉得他这人怎么样，简?

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

　　简：我觉得他怎么样?你比我更了解他呀，不是吗?

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

　　玛丽：求你，别逗我了。快告诉我。

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

　　简：好吧，还记得那天你说爱德华非常关心你吧?

　　Mary: Uh-hunh...

　　玛丽：恩。

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

　　简：记得你说过他能让你开心?

　　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!

　　玛丽：是(叹气)。他确实是个绅士。他举止得体、对我很有礼貌。但是一想到他的过去我就心烦意乱。

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

　　简：他的过去?他过去坐过牢还是什么?

　　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.

　　玛丽：不是不是，我不是这个意思。他曾经有一个女朋友，而且非常爱她。如果不是一次意外他差点跟她结婚。

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

　　简：哦，原来是这样。但是你烦什么呢?那已经是过去了呀，不是吗?

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

　　玛丽：我知道，但是我总是想个没完。

　　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...

　　简：哎呀，玛丽，你就是有点嫉妒罢了，没关系的。知道吗，你爱他就要爱他的过去、爱他的全部。
