Avoiding Topics in Conversation
谈话禁忌话题
Lila: Why aren’t you dating? I have so many friends who would love to go out with you.
里拉：你为什么不出去约会呢?我有很多朋友愿意和你一起出去。
George: Let’s change the subject. Talking about my love life isn’t very interesting.
乔治：我们换个话题吧。谈我的感情生活这个话题太无聊了。
Lila: But really, you’re not getting any younger and…
里拉：但是，说真的，你没有一些年轻...
George: Moving on! Have you seen any good movies lately?
乔治：换个话题!你最近没有看过什么好电影吗?
Lila: Listen, all of your friends are settling down and you don’t want to go through life alone and lonely…
里拉：听着!你所有的朋友都安定下来了，你如果不想要孤孤单单地生活的话...
George: That reminds me, didn’t you say that you were going to get another dog so that Rover isn’t lonely when you’re not home?
乔治：你说这倒是提醒了我。你不是说你要买一只狗狗，这样，当你不在家的时候，罗弗就不会孤单了?
Lila: Forget about my dog. You remember Rachel, don’t you? She just broke up with her boyfriend and she’d be perfect for you.
里拉：别说我的狗了。你还记得瑞秋吗?她刚和男朋友分手，她太适合你了。
George: Speaking of Rachel, how is her mother? Wasn’t she in the hospital?
乔治：说道瑞秋，她妈妈身体怎么样了?不是之前住院吗?
Lila: If Rachel isn’t your type, how about Amina? She has great legs and I know you’re a leg man.
里拉：如果瑞秋不适合你，安美娜怎么样?她的腿型很漂亮，我知道你是一个长腿控。
George: And now for something completely different…How is your diet coming along? Have you lost any weight yet?
乔治：现在不是那么回事了...你最近的节食计划怎么样了?你体重减下去了吗?
Lila: I don’t really want to talk about my weight.
里拉：我现在真的不想谈论我的体重。
George: But I think you’re having trouble shedding those pounds, right? I have lots of suggestions on what you can do.
乔治：但是我觉得你摆脱这些肥肉很困难。关于这方面我有很多的建议。
Lila: Anyway, as I said before, I don’t really want to talk about my diet…
里拉：但是像我刚才说的那样，我真的不想谈论我饮食的问题...
George: You need to cut out sweets if you want to lose weight. Are you eating too many sweets?
乔治：如果你想减肥的话，你就需要少吃糖果?你吃的糖果太多了吧?
Lila: That’s none of your business!
里拉：这不关你的事。
George: My sentiments exactly!
乔治：这正是我的感受啊!
