實戰(zhàn)口語情景對話：Long Distance Relationships 遠距離戀愛

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

亞歷克斯：你怎么看遠距離戀愛?

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.

瑪麗亞：不太好。我談過兩次戀愛，這兩次戀情都是在我搬到其他地方以后結(jié)束的。第一次戀情，當(dāng)時我在丹麥，我住在另一座城市的學(xué)校里，我在那里待了四個月的時間，我記得應(yīng)該是兩個月以后，我回家去和他分手，然后回到學(xué)校繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)，當(dāng)時我并沒有那么在乎。第二次，我在旅行的時候非常想他，我回來以后發(fā)現(xiàn)什么都沒留下。我離開的時候失去了一切，我認(rèn)為，在一兩個月以后，如果不是那么在乎我，那就不適合我。

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

亞歷克斯：對，我想你和我一樣。我必須要見到那個人。

Maria: Exactly.

瑪麗亞：沒錯。

Alex: Almost, you know, daily.

亞歷克斯：而且差不多每天都要見。

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.

瑪麗亞：沒錯，雖然可以在網(wǎng)上聊天或者打電話，可是那沒有親眼見到那個人那樣親密。

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

亞歷克斯：有很大的區(qū)別。我回澳大利亞的時候和她分開了一個月。

Maria: This summer?

瑪麗亞：今年夏天嗎?

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...

亞歷克斯：對，就是夏天，用Skype視頻通話根本不夠。你懂我的意思嗎?你可以見到那個人，你們可以聊天，如果你想你也可以親吻鏡頭，可是……

Maria: If you want.

瑪麗亞：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.

亞歷克斯：你知道那并不一樣，不過我知道，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.

瑪麗亞：我想，如果一段戀愛充滿激情，而且戀愛關(guān)系維持了很長時間，是可以做到的，不過我的兩段戀情都沒有超過一年就結(jié)束了。第一段戀情維持了一年，第二段只維持了半年。如果我們習(xí)慣于待在一起，那是可以堅持下去的。我太沒有耐心了。

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

亞歷克斯：對，我想不到一年的時間，你們還沒有學(xué)會要一直互相依靠。

Maria: Exactly.

瑪麗亞：沒錯。

Alex: Or...

亞歷克斯：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.

瑪麗亞：至于熱情，如果你們不能每天都見面，或者不能隨時見面，那熱情也會漸漸消退的。

Alex: Yeah, agreed.

亞歷克斯：沒錯，我同意。

Maria: But this is your first relationship right?

瑪麗亞：這是你的初戀，對吧?

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

亞歷克斯：沒錯，我回家的時候和她分開了一個月的時間……

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

瑪麗亞：這是你們第一次分開嗎?

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

亞歷克斯：對，感覺非常糟糕，非?？膳?，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...

瑪麗亞：我記得我第一次外出旅行而男朋友留在家里的那一星期，我感覺極度不安，如果熱情……

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

亞歷克斯：我圣誕節(jié)的時候有和女朋友分開過，我去年去印度過的圣誕節(jié)。

Maria: OK.

瑪麗亞：好。

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

亞歷克斯：當(dāng)時我們分開了兩個星期，那已經(jīng)夠糟糕了，而這次分開了一個月，我簡直要抓狂了，你懂那種感覺嗎?

Maria: Yeah, it's hard.

瑪麗亞：對，非常難。

Alex: It, yeah, it certainly is.

亞歷克斯：對，當(dāng)然很難了。

Maria: Yeah.

瑪麗亞：對。
