和老外聊天的地道口語第44期:我可不想做電燈泡...
M: Hey, Ann, I am really sorry about last night. I shouldn't have said those things to you.
A: I am sorry too. I know we've been talking about this beach trip for a while. I should have told Bob I was busy this weekend.
M: don't be silly. You guys should spend as much time together as you can. Besides we can go to the beach anytime.
A: thanks for understanding.
M: well that's what being friends is about, isn't it?
A: hey, what if the three of us go to the beach together? Besides, you and Bob haven't seen each other for a while. I don't want my best friend and my boyfriend to be complete strangers.
M: Nah, I wouldn't worry about that. But I don't want to be the third wheel. You two should have some quiet time to yourselves.
A: I know Bob won't mind. You can bring a date, like that guy from the bar you keep talking about.
M: maybe…I'll think about it.
A: well, I think you should come and have some fun. Besides you never know maybe he likes you as well. You should at least try.
嘿,安,昨天晚上真的不好意思,我不應該說那些話的.
我也很不好意思.我們一直在說要去海灘度假,我當時就應該告訴鮑勃我這週末忙,已經有安排了.
別傻了,你們兩個能在一起多待一會就應該多待一會兒.而且,咱們兩個什麼時候去海灘都可以啊.
謝謝你的理解.
別客氣,朋友就是要互相理解,不是嗎?
嘿,你說我們三個一起去海灘怎麼樣?況且你和鮑勃很久沒見面了,我不想我最好的朋友和我的男朋友成爲完全的陌生人.
我倒不擔心這個,我也不想當你們兩個人的電燈泡,我覺得你們兩個應該好好享受一下二人時光纔是.
我知道鮑勃不會介意的.你可以帶一個伴兒,那個你一直說的酒吧男怎麼樣?
可能吧,我會考慮一下.
我覺得你應該來,開心地玩一玩.而且不然你怎麼知道他是不是也喜歡你呢,最起碼應該試一下.
