爱情是人类永恒的主题。Love makes the world go round. 爱让世界转动。谈论自己和他人的爱,谈论那些内心深处的情感和渴望,都是让人感兴趣的话题。以下我们学习两段对话,关于爱,看看都是怎样谈论的呢。
第一段是confession,深情表白:
Dialogue 1
A: You’re crazy about Jane. I can tell.
B: I’m head over heels. She’s the girl of my dreams.
A: Whoa. Are you sure of your affection?
B: Yes. I swear that she’s the only woman in the world for me.
A: I’m glad that you have found your dream.
A:我看得出你对简很着迷。
B:我深深地爱上了她,她是我的梦中情人。
A:哇,你确定你真的爱她吗?
B:是的,我发誓她是这个世界上唯一适合我的女人。
A:我很高兴你终于找到了你的梦中情人。
第二段就是gossip了,闲来无事八八卦:
Dialogue 2
A: Joe and Sue seem like a hot item.
B: Yeah. But I can’t figure out how a girl like Sue could fall for a guy like Joe.
A: Love is blind. There’s no accounting for tastes.
B: Well, if I were Sue, I wouldn’t be in love with a guy like him. She’s so pretty, and he looks like a baboon.
A: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, of course.
A:乔和苏好像正在热恋.
B:是啊,但我真的不明白像苏那样的女孩怎么会爱上像乔那样的男孩。
A:爱情是盲目的。个人的喜好是无法解释的。
B:如果我是苏,我才不会爱上像他那样的男孩。她那么漂亮,而他长得像狒狒。
