Dialogue 1
Mark: Jingjing, have you heard anything from your friend, Meili?
马克:京晶,最近有你那位朋友美丽的消息吗?
Jingjing: You mean the one who went on a blind date a few months ago?
京晶:你是说几个月前去相亲的那位?
Mark: That's the one. Did she go out again with that guy?
马克:就是她。她后来和那位男士约会了吗?
Jingjing: Actually, they were seeing each other for a few weeks.
京晶:事实上,他们已经约会好几周了。
Mark: They were? It sounds like there's a good story.
马克:他们已经?听上去有个不错的故事哦。
Jingjing: Well, she was pretty happy with him. But he lost his job a few weeks after they started going out.
京晶:嗯,美丽对他挺满意。但是他们刚约会不久后他就丢了工作。
Mark: Huh? Did he get fired because of her?
马克:啊?是因为女方的关系被解雇了吗?
Jingjing: No, nothing like that. Anyway, Meili's folks started getting curious about the guy, and they wanted to meet him. She kept putting it off in hopes that he'd find a new job first.
京晶:不是的,不是那样。美丽的爸妈对这个男人很好奇,然后想见见他,她一直在拖,希望他能先找到一份新工作。
Mark: Right. It's hard for an unemployed guy to make a good first impression.
马克:对的,一个无业人士很难给人留下好的第一印象啊。
Jingjing: Exactly. But Meili's mom and dad arranged a dinner at a restaurant, so that they could set eyes on Gao Feng.
京晶:可不吗!但是美丽的父母在一家餐厅安排了一顿晚餐,为了能好好瞧瞧高峰。
Mark: So, are they all squared away now?
马克:那…他们都谈妥了吗?
Jingjing: Just the opposite. It was kind of a débâcle.
京晶:正好相反。情况非常复杂。
Mark: Really? Do tell!
马克:真的吗?赶紧说说
Jingjing: You'll never guess what happened between Meili's father and Gaofeng.
京晶:你根本猜不到她父亲和高峰之间发生了什么。
Mark: Come on: just tell me!
马克:快快,告诉我!
Jingjing: No. I want you to guess. I'll go fill up my water bottle and you get ready to take a shot in the dark.
京晶:不说,我要让你猜猜。我去打瓶水,然后你准备好瞎蒙一下吧。
Mark: Oh, all right. See you in a few.
马克:哦,那行吧。一会儿见。

Dialogue 2
Jingjing: So, Mark, have you got a good guess ready?
京晶:马克,猜到了吗?
Mark: You haven't told me anything about the dad, or much about Gaofeng. I don't have much to go on. Um, did Gaofeng make up a fake job and then get caught with his pants on fire?
马克:他爸是什么样的人你可啥信息都没透露过,也没说过太多高峰啊!我无从下手啊!嗯,难道高峰瞎编了个工作然后被他爸妈抓了现形?
Jingjing: If only it were that simple. Remember how Gaofeng got fired?
京晶:如果那么简单就好了。你记得高峰是怎么被解雇的吗?
Mark: Yes. Did the dad know something about it?
马克:记得,难道他爸知道一些什么?
Jingjing: He knew more than anyone, because he was the boss who let Gaofeng go!
京晶:他比任何人都知道的多得多!因为他就是解雇高峰那个老板!
Mark: Oh, that's terrible. Was he embarrassed?
马克:太可怕了!他是不是尴尬极了?
Jingjing: Meili's father was a gentleman about it. I don't know what Gaofeng had done to lose his job. But, obviously, the dad-slash-boss had some doubts about whether or not Gao Feng could be responsible.
京晶:美丽的父亲对此事绅士风度处理了。我不知道高峰做了什么丢了工作,但是很明显,这位岳丈大人兼老板对高峰是否是个有责任担当的人持怀疑态度。
Mark: So, what was the verdict? Could Meili and Gaofeng still be an item?
马克:那,最后的决定是什么呢?那美丽和高峰还能成一对吗?
Jingjing: They're keeping in touch. But they were asked to put their relationship on hold for a while, at least until Gaofeng can land another gig.
京晶:他们保持联络吧。但是他们被父母要求恋爱关系暂时搁置,至少等高峰找到另一份工作。
Mark: That's understandable. Are they taking it well?
马克:这个也能理解。他们俩能接受吗?
Jingjing: I think so. Separation is a good test of passion between people. We'll see.
京晶:我觉得还行吧,分离才知情浓,我们拭目以待。
Mark: Ok. Well, don't forget to fill me in if there are any new developments.
马克:行,那别忘了一有新进展就告诉我哦。
Jingjing: Sure thing. I'd better get back to work now.
京晶:那肯定的。我得回去工作了。
Mark: Thanks for the scoop!
马克:感谢爆料。
