4.15 Angry 生氣

W: What's up? You sound a little down in dumps.

M: I quarreled with my roommate last night. He is really stubborn.

W: Calm down! Shouting won’t help?

M: He is really outrageous.

W: What happened?

M: I went back home last night. You know tired as a dog, so I took a quick shower and went to bed. I couldn't fall asleep, because Brian was there in the living room, playing his stupid stereo so loud. I kindly told him to turn that down a little bit. He shouted at me.

W: What? He can't do this to you.

M: Well, he did it anyway. Then he came into my room and shot all his shit blah blah blah… you know.

W: What did you do?

M: I shouted it back of course.

W: Hold it, Mike. You won't accomplish anything by hollering at him, right? You are worked up till now. Why not wait until you cool down a bit?

M: What would you do if you were in my shoes?

W: Just stay cool. You know. When you get back home tonight, tell him that you didn't mean to quarrel with him.

M: No way, Mike. I mean it's just not my fault.

W: I know. It wouldn't hurt much to say sorry first. And after that, you can casually mention the problem. I am sure he will cooperate.

M: I am too angry to do that.

譯：

W：怎么了？你聽起來好像情緒不太好啊。

M：我昨晚和室友吵架了，他太倔了。

W：冷靜點，吵架不能解決問題。

M：他太過分了。

W：怎么了？

M：我昨天晚上回家，你知道累得像狗似的，我很快的洗了個澡然后就上床了，可是Brian在客廳把他那個破音響開得很大聲，吵得我睡不著。我禮貌的告訴他把聲音關小點時，他卻對我大喊大叫。

W：什么？他不能這么做。

M：他就是這么做的，然后他到了我這屋里嘟嘟嚷嚷。

W：那你呢？

M：我當然也沖他喊。

W：忍一忍，邁克。喊解決不了問題，你們直到現(xiàn)在還很激動，為什么不等你們冷靜下來呢？

M：你是我的話會怎么辦？

W：保持冷靜，今晚你回家的時候，告訴他你不是真想和他吵。

M：沒門兒，又不是我的錯。

W：我知道，可先說抱歉又不損失什么，之后你可以慢慢地和他提這件事，我相信他會合作的。

M：我實在是太生氣了，我做不到。

注釋：

1． 詞組“turn down”表示“降低音量”。

2． 對話中的“…shoot all his shit”是俚語，意思是“說臟話，說廢話”。“shoot”的過去式和過去分詞都是“shot”。

3． 當你和外國人談話的時候，他們會常用到“Blah blah blah”，其意思是“等等等等一堆的廢話”，多數(shù)情況都表示他們對某人所說的話表示不滿，覺得他們說得都是和正題無關的廢話。

4． 詞組“work up”意為“使激動，使興奮”。
