Ed : Hey, Mary, can you cut that out?

Mary : Cut what out I’m not doing anything.

Ed : The tapping of your pen on your desk. It’s driving me crazy.

Mary :Fine! By the way would you mind not slurping your coffee every time you have a cup!

Ed : I don’t slurp my coffee. And plus, how can you hear it when you’re shouting into your phone all the time?

Mary :You ’ve got to be kidding me! You’re complaining about me talking on the phone when you go out for a cigarette break ten times a day to shoot the breeze?

Ed : Look, we have a lot of accumulated anger from working in these conditions, and it’s probably okay to let off steam once in a while . But, it’s probably not a good idea to keep it up I’m willing to forgive and forget and if you are.

Mary : Fine. Let's call a truce. I'll try to more considerate and to keep the noise down.

Ed: Yeah, I’ll try to do the same. So, I was wondering you wanna go out to dinner Friday night?

Ed: 你好，瑪麗，你能停下來嗎?

Mary: 我什么都沒做。

Ed: 你總是用筆敲桌子，那快把我逼瘋了。

Mary :好吧。隨便說一句，以后你喝咖啡時不要發(fā)出聲音。

Ed :我沒發(fā)出聲音。而且當(dāng)你一直沖著電話喊叫時你怎么能聽見呢?

Mary :你一定是在開玩笑。你抱怨我沖著電話大聲喊，那你為什么一天總是出去抽煙或是聊天呢?

Ed :在這種狀態(tài)下我們積累了很多積怨，一時發(fā)泄出來是可以的，但是總是懷恨在心可不好。如果你不計較那些我也不會去計較。

Mary: 好的，讓我們停止?fàn)幊?。我會試著多體諒你，減少噪音。

Ed: 好吧，我贊同。我在想周五晚上我們一起去吃晚飯怎么樣?
