I really blew it last night. I finally asked my neighbor, Fatima, out on a date and she walkedout on me in the middle of it.

昨晚我真的是搞砸了，我終于能邀請到我的鄰居Fatima和我一起約會，但是中途她就離開了我。

I didn’t blame her. I wanted to make a good impression on her, but I felt I was flounderinga half an hour into the date. I decided to liven things up a bit with a few drinks. I got carriedaway and got stinking drunk. What an idiot! I had to call her to apologize.

我不怪她。我想給她留下個好印象，但是約會開始半個小時了，我還是笨手笨腳的。我想喝點酒助興下。我有點激動，喝得爛醉如泥。我真是個白癡，我必須給她打電話道歉。

Fatima: Hello.

你好。

Rob: Uh, hi, Fatima. This is Rob calling.

Fatima你好，我是Rob。

Fatima: Oh.

哦。

Rob: Please don’t hang up. I need to apologize for my atrocious behavior last night. I was areal jerk and I’m really, really sorry.

請不要掛電話，我得為我昨晚的齷齪行為道歉，我真是個混球，我真的、真的很抱歉。

Fatima: I appreciate the apology. Thanks, but I have to go now.

我理解。但是，我現(xiàn)在必須得出去。

Rob: Hold on one second, please! I want to explain. I thought I was boring you at thebeginning of the date and that’s why I started in on the drinks. I’m not normally a lush, really!I was nervous and worried that things weren’t going well, and I thought a couple of drinkswould loosen me up.

稍等下。我想解釋下。我原以為在約會開始時我讓你過得很沒意思，那就是我喝酒的原因。平常我并不是一個酒鬼，真的!我很緊張，而且很擔心約會進展得不順利，我本以為喝點酒能讓我放松下來。

Fatima: Okay, I understand that, but that doesn’t excuse the groping.[qh] 好吧，我理解你喝酒的原因，但是那不是“觸摸”的借口。

Rob: Groping? What groping?

觸摸?什么樣的觸摸?

Fatima: You don’t remember? You insisted on a goodnight kiss.

你不記得了?你堅持要我給你個告別的親吻。

Rob: I did? It’s all a blur. I don’t remember anything after you called me a creep.

我真那么做了?我記不清了。我不記得“你叫我卑鄙小人”后的任何事情。

Fatima: You tried to kiss me and I walked out. Can you blame me?

你試圖要吻我，我走了出去。你怪我嗎?

Rob: No, I can’t. I deserved much worse. After that, I can also understand why you’d neverwant to speak to me again. Is there any way I can make it up to you?

不，我不會的。我理應得到更糟糕的報應。那次約會后，我明白了你為什么從不想和我說話。還有我能補償你的方式嗎?

Fatima: I really don’t know...

我真的不知道……

Rob: I promise not to have a drop of alcohol.

我發(fā)誓再也不沾酒了。

Fatima: I’ll have to think about it.

我必須得想想。

Rob: And I’ll have both of my hands tied behind my back the entire time.

我會將手一直綁在背后。

Fatima: Maybe. Let me sleep on it.

也許吧。把問題留在第二天解決。

At least it wasn’t a “no.” There’s a glimmer of hope for a second chance!
