英语流利说 Level5 Unit3 Part4-Argument over Investment

Argument over Investment

W: I just heard what you did. You did it without consulting me.

M: Yes, I talked to them and decided to invest more money. I didn't have time to consult with you, and I trust them.

W: That's our money not yours. We've been saving it to buy a house. You had no right to make that decision without letting me know. How can I trust you?

女:我刚听说你做了什么。你没跟我商量就这么做了。

男:是的,我和他们谈过了,决定投资更多的钱。我没有时间和你商量,我相信他们。

女:那是我们的钱,不是你的。我们一直在存钱买房子。你没有权利不让我知道就做决定。我怎么能相信你?


What had they've been saving for? -to buy a house

他们存钱是为了什么?-买房子


M: Look, it was an opportunity I couldn't resist. I'm sure it's going to be okay.

W: No it isn't. It's a stupid investment and it's going to fail. I really hate you now.

M: That's a really strong word for simply disagreeing. Why can't we disagree without becoming so emotional?

W: We aren't just disagreeing. You've broken your promise again. I can't trust you anymore, especially when you keep doing stupid things that affect me.

男:你看,这是一个我无法抗拒的机会。我相信一切都会好的。

女:不,不是。这是一项愚蠢的投资,会失败的。我现在真的很恨你。

男:这是一个用来表示不同意的很强硬的词。为什么我们不能不那么情绪化地表达意见呢?

女:我们不只是不同意。你又食言了。我再也不能相信你了,尤其是当你一直做那些影响我的蠢事的时候。


She says she hates him because ...he has broken his promise, so she can't trust him.

她说她恨他是因为…他食言了,所以她不能相信他。

We aren't just disagreeing.

我们不只是不同意。

She's upset because he has broken his promise again.

她很难过,因为他又食言了。

xIt's a stupid investment and it's going to fail. I really hate you now.

这是一项愚蠢的投资,会失败的。我现在真的很恨你。


M: You say I'm being stupid, but it's just that we don't agree.

W: No, that's not the point. You are not listening. You said you wouldn't do anything unless we both agreed. And look what you've done. Your promises are just empty words. I really despise you now.

男:你说我很愚蠢,但这只是我们意见不一致。

女:不,这不是重点。你没有在听。你说过你不会做任何事除非我们都同意。看看你都做了些什么。你的承诺都是空话。我现在真的看不起你了。


What isn't the point? -they disagree

有什么不重要的?他们不同意


M: Well, what should we do? If you keep talking like that, we had better break up.

W: Yes, we should. I've had enough. I don't want to see you anymore, and I don't want you to even contact me.

M: Sure, if that's what you really want. But I want you to know that I haven't been lying to you.

W: Don't say anything more. I don't want to hear it. You are a fool and you can't even see what you are doing.

男:那我们该怎么办呢?如果你继续这样说话,我们最好分手。

女:是的,我们应该。我受够了。我不想再见到你,我甚至不想让你联系我。

男:当然,如果那是你真正想要的。但我想让你知道,我没有对你撒谎。

女:别再说了。我不想听。你真是个傻瓜,连自己在做什么都不知道。

M: Hi, I'm calling to apologize. Did you get my flowers?

W: Yes, but I told you not to call me.

M: Yes, I know, but I don't want our relationship to end like this. We've been through too much together. Let's give it another try.

W: I'm sorry. I think it's too late. This was the last straw.

男:嗨,我打电话来是向你道歉的。收到我的花了吗?

女:是的,但是我告诉过你不要打电话给我。

男:是的,我知道,但是我不希望我们的关系就这样结束。我们一起经历了太多。让我们再试一次。

女:我很抱歉。我想太晚了。这是最后一根稻草。

M: Please give me another chance. You were right about everything. I'll try to get the money back.

W: When you get the money back, you can call me again. If you don't, you can pay me what you owe me, and then leave me alone.

M: OK, I'll get it back. I'll do anything to get you back in my life.

W: I'll think about it.

男:请再给我一次机会。你每件事都是对的。我将设法把钱拿回来。

女:当你把钱拿回来的时候,你可以再打电话给我。如果你不知道,你可以把欠我的还我,然后离开我。

女:我会考虑的。
