Dialogue對話
John:May,I had no idea that you were so depressed.
Why didn't you say something sooner?
梅,我不知道妳這麼沮喪。妳為什麼不早點說?
May:Well, women just don't
want to admit they are fat!
嗯,女人就是不想承認自己胖啊!
John:To tell you the truth, I hardly noticed.
老實說,我幾乎沒注意到。
May:That's probably because
you have been working late and I am usually ready for bed when you
get home.
那或許是因為你一直都工作到很晚,而當你回來的時候,我通常都準備睡覺了。
John:Well,do you want to make some changes in
your lifestyle?
那,妳想在生活方式上些改變嗎?
May:I don't know. I think
I am in a rut staying home all the time.
我不知道。我想我已經習慣一天到晚待在家裡的生活方式。
John:The baby's older now and could go to a sitter
once in a while.
現在寶寶已經大一點了,可以偶爾請保姆帶一下。
May:That would probably
be good for both of us.
那可能對我們兩個都有好處。
John:Maybe you would like to go to a gym and
get a personal trainer to help you.
或許妳想上健身房請個私人教練幫妳。
May:I am too embarrassed
to put on workout clothes in front of someone else.
我覺得太尷尬了,我無法在別人面前穿運動服。
John:Come on, May. You've got to take that first
step.
拜託,梅。妳必須踏出第一步。
May:It's hard, John. I've never felt so bad
about myself before.
這很難啊,約翰。我以前從未覺得自己這麼糟過。
John:How about I find the time to go with you?
那我找時間陪妳一起去好不好?
May:Would you really do
that?It would mean so much to me.
你真的願意這麼做嗎?那對我很重要。
John:May, I'd do anything to help you. I love
you.
梅,我願意做任何事來幫妳。我愛妳。

我也愛你,約翰。
