B: How is your elbow?(你的肘怎样了?)
N: Well, don't talk about something that reminds me of a pain that I've had in my life.
B: Ok, just forget it.
N: Thank you, brian.
B: J.Are you happier, now?
B: Excuse me?
N: Are you happier now? I mean, your girlfriend thing.
B: I am happy now, just feel kind of isolated and ---- and a little alone.
N: Alone(孤单的) or lonely(感到孤独的).
B: I am alone and feel lonely, but most of the time I am happy.
N: Were you ever, what might be termed "depressed"?
B: No, I was never depressed. I had a job, a place to live, I was doing what I like, and I know a lot of people who have it worse than I had(不,我从来没感觉到沮丧,我有个工作、有地方住,干的是自己喜欢干的事情,我知道有很多人情况还不如我).
N: You had a capacity to deal with life.
B: Everybody had a capacity to deal with life. It's all relative(这都是相对的).
N: Why don't you just go out and get relaxed?
B: I AM relaxing.
N: I mean, why don't you just go to see a film or something like that.
B: It all depends on the movie. Some have bored the hell out of me. (这完全取决于电影,有的电影简直就是无聊透顶)
N: What movie would you definitely watch? (你喜欢看什么电影?)
B: What do you mean?
N: What movie would you say, this is a good movie? (什么电影你会说,这部电影不错)
B: I like Marlon Brando(马龙.白兰度).
【注】马龙-白兰度桀骜不驯、自成一隅,不肯与好莱坞的群芳同列。他曾凭借《码头风云》和《教父II》两次摘得奥斯卡最佳男演员奖。但在教父中我还是喜欢阿尔.帕西诺。
N: Oh, yes, he died yesterday.
B: He was a great actor.
N: He used to be a charming gentleman.
B: He is all the time, and he was a giant.
【注】什么时候,要是能和老外一起谈起中国演员,能有这么多话题就好了,不只是光在谈美国的演员,美国人的演技,其实中国的电影一点也不逊色。
