2012年ESL之就医和人际交往 05 Expressing Bitter Feelings

（单词翻译）

Expressing Bitter Feelings 

Laurent: I’m done with women! They’re liars¹ and manipulators. 

Julie: Let me guess. You’ve had a bad breakup? 

Laurent: It wasn’t just bad. It was monumentally awful. I’m never going to date again. 

Julie: You’re just feeling bitter right now, but you’ll get over it. You won’t always feel so jaded². Wait a second. Did you break up with Brittany? 

Laurent: Yeah, I’ve told you about her before. 

Julie: I remember. Don’t you guys have an on-again, off-again relationship? I mean haven’t you guys broken up before? 

Laurent: Yeah, but this was the absolute end. We’re not getting back together. 

Julie: But didn’t you say that three months ago? Maybe there’s still a chance for reconciliation³. 

Laurent: Absolutely not! Brittany walked all over me and didn’t care one iota⁴ about my feelings. I’ll never talk to her again. As far as I’m concerned, she’s persona non grata! 

[Phone rings] 

Julie: Hello. Oh hi, Brittany. Yes, he’s here. It’s Brittany and she wants to talk to you. Do you want to talk to her? 

Laurent: Yes...no...yes! Oh, give me that phone!
