来听今天的讲解:

Beginner

A: I had a big argument with david yesterday. I hope he’s not still mad at me.

昨天我和大卫大吵了一架。我希望他不要还在生我的气。

B: what did you argue about?

你们在争论什么？

A: he borrowed some money from me and I needed it back. He said he didn’t have the money yet.

他向我借了一些钱，我需要还。他说他还没有钱。

B: well, he should pay out back. It’s only fair.

好吧，他应该还钱。这才是公平的。

A: yes, but is got angry with him too quickly. He probably thought that I mistrusted him. I shouldn’t have got angry.

是的，但他对他太快生气了。他可能认为我不信任他。我不应该生气。

B: did you lend him a lot of money?

你借给他很多钱了吗？

A: not much. I had to pay an unexpected bill, so I needed the money back.

不多。我不得不支付一笔意外的账单，所以我需要还钱。

B: well, talk to him about it next time you see him. He probably feels as bad about it as you do. Close friends sometimes have disagreements. It’s nothing unusual. Neither of you said anything really nasty, did you?

好吧，下次见到他时再和他谈谈。他可能和你一样对此感到难过。亲密的朋友有时会有分歧。这没什么不寻常的。你们都没有说什么真正的难听的话，是吗？

A: no , we didn’t. I guess you’re right. We should patch things up.

不，我们没有。我想你是对的。我们应该修补一下。

B: of course you should. You wouldn’t want a silly argument to ruin a long friendship, would you?

Intermediate

A: what kind of qualities do you look for in your friends?

你希望你的朋友具备什么样的品质？

B: I like people who are open and friendly. Those people are usually more active and fun to be with. I like spending time with my friends. We go to bars together or play sports together.

我喜欢那些开放友好的人。和他们在一起通常更活跃、更有趣。我喜欢和朋友们在一起。我们一起去酒吧或一起运动。

A: I don’t like to make friends with people who aren’t honest. Honesty is very important to me.

我不喜欢和不诚实的人交朋友。诚实对我来说很重要。

B: I think it’s important to most people. The problem is that you can usually only find out if someone is honest by getting to know them.

A: you can find out from their friends.

你可以从他们的朋友那里了解。

B: if you know any of their friends. You can’t rely on your friends to introduce people to you all the time. You have to go out and make the first move sometimes. I also like funny people.

如果你认识他们的朋友。你不能总是依靠你的朋友把人介绍给你。有时你必须走出去，迈出第一步。我也喜欢有趣的人。

A: oh, I don’t. they don’t seem to take anything seriously. You never know when they are joking and when they are being serious.

哦，我没有。他们似乎什么都不认真。你永远不知道他们什么时候在开玩笑，什么时候在认真。

B: sometimes it can be hard to tell, but if you know the person fairly well, you can usually see from their expression what they are really thinking.

有时很难说，但如果你很了解这个人，你通常可以从他们的表情中看出他们的真实想法。

A: it seems that we generally like different kinds of people. How is it that we are such good friends?

似乎我们一般都喜欢不同种类的人。我们怎么会是这么好的朋友？

B: maybe people don’t like to have friends that are all same. Most people like a little variety in their lives-including a variety of characteristics in their friends.

也许人们不喜欢有完全相同的朋友。大多数人喜欢生活中的一些变化，包括朋友的各种特征。
