实战口语情景对话：Long Distance Relationships 远距离恋爱

Alex: So how do you feel about long distance relationships?

亚历克斯：你怎么看远距离恋爱?

Maria: Not that good. I had two relationships by now and both of them ended after me going somewhere. First time I was in Denmark but like I lived on a school in another city and while I was there for four months like I think two months after I went home to him and broke up and then came back to the school and just didn't really care. And then the second time I went traveling and I missed him so much and I came back and realized that there was nothing left. I'd lost everything while I was away so I don't, after one month, after two months, I think it just doesn't work for me if it's not really special.

玛丽亚：不太好。我谈过两次恋爱，这两次恋情都是在我搬到其他地方以后结束的。第一次恋情，当时我在丹麦，我住在另一座城市的学校里，我在那里待了四个月的时间，我记得应该是两个月以后，我回家去和他分手，然后回到学校继续学习，当时我并没有那么在乎。第二次，我在旅行的时候非常想他，我回来以后发现什么都没留下。我离开的时候失去了一切，我认为，在一两个月以后，如果不是那么在乎我，那就不适合我。

Alex: Yeah, I guess you're kind of like me. I have to see the person.

亚历克斯：对，我想你和我一样。我必须要见到那个人。

Maria: Exactly.

玛丽亚：没错。

Alex: Almost, you know, daily.

亚历克斯：而且差不多每天都要见。

Maria: Exactly and you can have conversations online and on the phone but if there's no, I don't know, it doesn't have to be much, just like be close, see each other in the eye.

玛丽亚：没错，虽然可以在网上聊天或者打电话，可是那没有亲眼见到那个人那样亲密。

Alex: It's a big difference, yeah. I did a month when I went home to Australia away...

亚历克斯：有很大的区别。我回澳大利亚的时候和她分开了一个月。

Maria: This summer?

玛丽亚：今年夏天吗?

Alex: Yeah, this recent summer and like Skype is just not enough. Do you know what I mean? You can see the person, you can talk to them, you know you can kiss the camera if you want but it's not...

亚历克斯：对，就是夏天，用Skype视频通话根本不够。你懂我的意思吗?你可以见到那个人，你们可以聊天，如果你想你也可以亲吻镜头，可是……

Maria: If you want.

玛丽亚：如果你想。

Alex: You know it's not the same but that's not to say I don't think, some people can do it.

亚历克斯：你知道那并不一样，不过我知道，有人可以做到。

Maria: I figure if it's a very, like if the relationship is very, it's very passionate or you've been going on for a long time because both of my relationships were under one year I think. The first one was one year and the second one was half a year. So if we're used to staying together then I think you can work it out. I'm just too impatient.

玛丽亚：我想，如果一段恋爱充满激情，而且恋爱关系维持了很长时间，是可以做到的，不过我的两段恋情都没有超过一年就结束了。第一段恋情维持了一年，第二段只维持了半年。如果我们习惯于待在一起，那是可以坚持下去的。我太没有耐心了。

Alex: Yeah, I guess under a year you haven't really learned to depend on the other person all the time.

亚历克斯：对，我想不到一年的时间，你们还没有学会要一直互相依靠。

Maria: Exactly.

玛丽亚：没错。

Alex: Or...

亚历克斯：或者……

Maria: Still going by the passion and if you can't see the person every day or like whenever you want, then the passion just slowly fades.

玛丽亚：至于热情，如果你们不能每天都见面，或者不能随时见面，那热情也会渐渐消退的。

Alex: Yeah, agreed.

亚历克斯：没错，我同意。

Maria: But this is your first relationship right?

玛丽亚：这是你的初恋，对吧?

Alex: Yes it is and I did one month when I went home away from the person and it was just...

亚历克斯：没错，我回家的时候和她分开了一个月的时间……

Maria: And that was the first time you ever went away from the person?

玛丽亚：这是你们第一次分开吗?

Alex: Yeah and it was just aah horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible.

亚历克斯：对，感觉非常糟糕，非常可怕，非常不好。

Maria: I remember the first time I like traveled while my boyfriend was still at home and it was a week and I was devastated so it's, if it's passionate it's...

玛丽亚：我记得我第一次外出旅行而男朋友留在家里的那一星期，我感觉极度不安，如果热情……

Alex: Well I did Christmas away from them when I went to Christmas, I did India for Christmas last year.

亚历克斯：我圣诞节的时候有和女朋友分开过，我去年去印度过的圣诞节。

Maria: OK.

玛丽亚：好。

Alex: And two weeks was bad enough and then a month and I was just pulling my hair out, do you know? So.

亚历克斯：当时我们分开了两个星期，那已经够糟糕了，而这次分开了一个月，我简直要抓狂了，你懂那种感觉吗?

Maria: Yeah, it's hard.

玛丽亚：对，非常难。

Alex: It, yeah, it certainly is.

亚历克斯：对，当然很难了。

Maria: Yeah.

玛丽亚：对。
