今天是星期六,Larry和李華要和另外一個同學(xué)Jim一塊兒去吃午飯,然后再去看電影。
L:Li Hua,Jim sounded really bummed on the phone.His girlfriend just dumped him and l don't think he's handling it very well.
LH:Jim在電話上聽起來情緒很壞?他女朋友把他怎么啦?Dumped him?什么是dump?
L:Well,first they had a fight and then she dumped him.Top dump is to break up with
LH:噢,原來dump somecome就是不要和某人在一起了。也就是Jim的女朋友把他給甩了,是呀,男女朋友分手是挺難受的,
L:Yeah.I can't believe she dumped him af-ter they'd been together for two years.It's really a shock.
LH:我聽了也很驚訝,他們在一起已經(jīng)兩年了,Jim脾氣又那么好,為什么他女朋友要把他甩了?為什么要dump him?
I:I don't know.He wouldn't tell me the reasonwhy she dumped him.
LH:他不愿意告訴你為什么。對,有的人是不愿意跟別人談這種細(xì)節(jié)。會不會Jim的女朋友愛上別人?
L:That's possible.but it's not really any 0f our business.We should just try and cheer him up while we're with him.
LH:對,這是他們之間的事。我們不必過問:我們今天就想辦法讓他高興一點就好了。哎,Larry,你有沒有被女朋友甩過?Have you ever been dumped?
L:I really don't want to talk about that.Li Hua.If I have been dumped.it's not some-thing I'm proud of.
LH:你不想告訴我。我能理解,被別人甩了確實不是什么值得驕傲的事。這么說,你被甩過,You have been dumped.為什么?
L:Li too !I told you that I don't want to talk about it
LH:對不起,對不起。我只是好奇。你人那么好,為什么你的女朋友會甩了你。我只是覺得很難想像而已,
L:Don't warry about it.Hey,look,we're almost at Jim's place.
