Daniel: I'm fine thanks. Is there, like do you remember any time where you've been really sad or angry or embarrassed?

丹尼爾：我很好，謝謝。你還記得你感覺悲傷、生氣或尷尬的時刻嗎？

Vella: Yeah. Actually it happened before I came here. I had a huge fight with my father, dad, and yeah we had a disagreement about something and I, well I had a disagreement with my aunt which is my dad's sister and my dad just kind of took her side instead of my side and I was really disappointed in him and I lost my temper and I started hitting the window and it kind of broke and my dad was...

維拉：記得。那就發生在我來這裏以前。我和我爸爸大吵了一架，我們兩個人發生了爭執，我和我姑姑，就是我爸爸的妹妹意見不和，而我爸爸站在我姑姑那邊，而不支持我，我當時對他非常失望，所以我大發脾氣，開始砸窗戶，然後把窗戶砸破了，我爸爸……

Daniel: Wait a minute. You broke the window because you were angry?

丹尼爾：等一下。你因爲生氣打破了窗戶？

Vella: I did.

維拉：對。

Daniel: OK.

丹尼爾：好吧。

Vella: I really lost my, you know, control and my dad he started crying and, you know, seeing him cry was really, you know, painful.

維拉：我當時完全失控了，然後我爸爸開始哭，我看到他哭感覺非常痛苦。

Daniel: Wow. I didn't know you were that kind of person that could break a window.

丹尼爾：哇哦。我不知道你是會打破窗戶的人。

Vella: You know when I lose my temper, I tend to do, you know, things that are out of control but yeah.

維拉：你知道，我發火的時候會做出一些不受控制的事情。

Daniel: But what was the whole argument about? Do you think it would have that result like where you break a window because of an argument with your dad?

丹尼爾：那就是你們的全部爭吵嗎？你只是和你爸爸發生了爭吵，至於讓你打破窗戶嗎？

Vella: Well, I think it was just because I was really disappointed that he took, you know, my aunt's side instead of my side.

維拉：我想那是因爲我對他站在我姑姑那邊而不支持我感到非常失望。

Daniel: Hm, hm.

丹尼爾：嗯，嗯。

Vella: And he was saying stuff like, you know, it's all my fault and, you know, he was really disappointed in me so I was really sad that he said that and, yeah, I lost my temper and started hitting.

維拉：他還說，那全是我的錯，他對我非常失望，我對他說的話感到非常難過，所以我發火了，然後開始砸窗戶。

Daniel: OK, how about being embarrassed? Do you remember any time where you were really embarrassed?

丹尼爾：嗯，那尷尬的時候嗎？你還記得你感覺非常窘迫的時候嗎？

Vella: Yeah, I think in high school. So there's this guy I have a huge crush on and I was walking down the stairs and, you know, he saw me and, you know, I was acting like awkwardly and there was a big plant in front of me and I didn't see it because I was, you know, too busy looking at him and I kind of tripped over and it was really embarrassing and everyone was laughing and that guy, you know, saw me.

維拉：有，那是在高中。當時我非常喜歡一個男生，有一次我下樓的時候碰到了他，而當時我表現地非常笨拙，我前面有一株很大的植物，而我因爲一直在看他所以沒有看到那個植物，然後我就絆倒了，當時我非常尷尬，所有人都在笑我，而那個男生一直看着我。

Daniel: That's the worse thing.

丹尼爾：那真是最糟糕的情況。

Vella: Falling like in front of your crush, I think that will be really embarrassing.

維拉：在你喜歡的人面前摔倒，我想那真的非常難堪。

Daniel: OK, what did you do afterwards?

丹尼爾：對，那之後你做了什麼？

Vella: Well I just acted cool, you know, and said I'm fine and just left.

維拉：我表現得很酷，說了句我還好，然後就離開了。

Daniel: Wow, that must be really difficult?

丹尼爾：哇哦，那一定很難吧？

Vella: Because I was trying to, you know, look pretty as I walked down the stairs and I didn't see the plant in front of me.

維拉：因爲我在下樓時努力讓自己看起來很漂亮，可是我沒看到我前面的那個植物。

Daniel: So after that did you ever get that guy to like you?

丹尼爾：那後來你有讓那個男生喜歡上你嗎？

Vella: Well actually he, you know, he came up to me and he was asking if I was OK and we ended up exchanging numbers.

維拉：其實他有走過來問我有沒有事，後來我們交換了電話號碼。

Daniel: So that was a success?

丹尼爾：所以其實那也算是成功了？

Vella: Yeah, it was a success.

維拉：對，是成功了。

Daniel: OK, that's pretty good.

丹尼爾：好，那太好了。
