（单词翻译）

 A:    Ok... I’ll talk to you later. Bye

 B:    Carrie, are you ok? You seem a bit down.

 A:     I just got off the phone with my boyfriend. He is
       always  getting  upset  and  losing  his  temper  over
        nothing. It’s so hard to talk to him at times.

 B:     Maybe it’s just that he is stressed out from work or
       something. He does have a pretty nerve¹ wracking
       job you know.

 A:    Yeah but, he is always in a really foul² mood. I
       try to find out what’s bothering him or get him to
       talk about his day but, he always shuts down and
        brushes me off.
 B:     Men are like that you know. They can feel ner-
       vous, anxious or on edge and the only way they
       can express it is by trying to hide it through ag-
       gressiveness.

 A:     I guess you are right.  What do you think I should
       do? He wasn’t always this grouchy³ you know...

 B:    Talk to him, try to cheer him up when he is down
       and if that doesn’t work, I say get rid of him and
       get a new one!

 A:    You are something else you know that?
