Langford和Garrett是分居两个城市,目前又无法解决两地生活的恋人。上一期中我们听的是两个人从热恋中逐渐清醒,终于将实际问题拿出来谈,拿出来吵的一段对话。好不容易见一次面,又以那样的方式分开,彼此心里一定是不好受的。Garrett也意识到在处理两人问题的过程中,的确是Langford一直在让步,于是打电话向Langford道歉。提出两个人来共同想办法解决。
Garrett: Hey, listen. I know you're on a deadline to make a decision about this Chronicle job. I know that, and you were right, by the way. You should not be in this alone. I wanna help you and we're in this together, right? But that being said, I gotta be honest with you. I want you in New York. But not just you in New York, I want you and me in New York living together. I wanna get a place with you, a place that you love. A place that we can make our own...where we can put Tom Cruise all over the walls...and get Tom Cruise bed sheets and Tom Cruise toilet paper. Or we could buy our own Centipede machine...and drink jugs of Sunshine Harbor all day. I just want a real relationship with you...because I love you and you're my best friend. And frankly, I am so tired of missing you. And I know this is a lot to put on you①. And I'm open to whatever②...but I really wanna come out and see you and figure all of this out together. 听着,我知道你必须马上决定是否接受那个《纪事报》的工作。我知道你是对的,不该让你一个人承担这些。我会帮你的,我们一起来承担,好吗?但是,说实话,我希望你能到纽约来。不只是你来纽约,我想要和你在纽约住在一起。我们去找一个地方,你喜欢的地方,在那儿我们可以在墙上贴满汤姆•克鲁斯的海报,睡印着汤姆•克鲁斯的床单,用印着汤姆•克鲁斯的手纸。我们还可以自己买一台蜈蚣游戏机,喝一整天的“阳光海湾”……我想要真的和你在一起,因为我爱你,你也是我最好的朋友。而且坦白地说,我受够这种思念的生活了,我知道这可能会给你很大压力,我什么都能接受…我真的想去看你,和你一起解决我们的问题。
Langford: I'd like that. 我也这么想。
Garrett: Okay. Good. 好。
Langford: Okay. 好。
Garrett: Bye. 再见。
Garrett诚心道歉,并为两个人未来的生活描绘了甜蜜的蓝图。不过,一句I’m too tired of missing you. 道出了两地恋情的艰辛,好在两个人都在尽力解决。
知识点:
1.a lot to put on you. Put on我们都知道有“穿衣服”的意思,此时指具体的穿的动作。这个短语用于抽象意义的时候,表示“加诸于”某人负担、压力等。比如:You have to be mature to deal with all the pressure put on you. 你必须成熟一些解决你遇到的压力。
2.I’m open to whatever. Be open to在此处指“精神上愿意接受的”。比如:Be open to the possibilities that can change your life—they may bring you a greater sense of joy and fulfillment. 对能改变你生活的可能性采取公开态度。他们也许能为你带来更大的快乐和成就感。再比如:Try new things and be open to the new things. 尝试新生事物;勇于接受新事物。
选择爱的人还是选择自己钟爱的事业?这是一个相当困难的选择。当你的爱人处于这样的纠结选择之中时,您会做出怎样的选择呢?下期,我们一起看看Garrett和Langford这段双城之恋会上演怎样的结局。我们下期再见。
