A Hey, Mary, can you cut that out?

你好，玛丽，你能停下来吗？

B Cut what out I’m not doing anything.

我什么都没做。

A The tapping of your pen on your desk. It’s driving me crazy.

你总是用笔敲桌子，那快把我逼疯了。

B Fine! By the way would you mind not slurping your coffee every time you have a cup!

好吧。随便说一句，以后你喝咖啡时不要发出声音。

A I don’t slurp my coffee. And plus, how can you hear it when you’re shouting into your phone all the time?

我没发出声音。而且当你一直冲着电话喊叫时你怎么能听见呢？

B You ’ve got to be kidding me! You’re complaining about me talking on the phone when you go out for a cigarette break ten times a day to shoot the breeze?

你一定是在开玩笑。你抱怨我冲着电话大声喊，那你为什么一天总是出去抽烟或是聊天呢?

A Look, we have a lot of accumulated anger from working in these conditions, and it’s probably okay to let off steam once in a while. But, it’s probably not a good idea to keep it up I’m willing to forgive and forget and if you are.

在这种状态下我们积累了很多积怨，一时发泄出来是可以的，但是总是怀恨在心可不好。如果你不计较那些我也不会去计较。

B Fine. Let's call a truce. I'll try to more considerate and to keep the noise down.

好的，让我们停止争吵。我会试着多体谅你，减少噪音。

A Yeah, I’ll try to do the same. So, I was wondering you wanna go out to dinner Friday night?

好吧，我赞同。我在想周五晚上我们一起去吃晚饭怎么样？
