Conversation:

A: So...I said, "let's take a break." And since that night, I've been waiting for him to call, but I still haven't heard from him. You don't think he's seeing someone else, do you?

所以我就说，“我们分手吧。”自从那天晚上我就一直在等他的电话，但我还是没有接到他的电话。我想会不会是他在和其他人约会吧，是吗？

B: Come on, don't be so dramatic. I'm sure everything's going to work out just fine. 

拜托，别想的太戏剧性。我相信所有的事情都会进展顺利的。

A: You think so? Oh, no! How can he do this to me? I'm sure he's cheating on me. Why else wouldn't he call?

没事的？你这么认为吗？哦，不！他怎么可以这样对我？他一定是背叛了我，还有什么原因让他没打电话呢？

B: But you two are on a break. Theoretically, he can do whatever he likes. 

但是你们俩现在分手了，理论上他可以做任何他喜欢的事。

A: He's the love of my life. I've really messed this up.

他是我的挚爱，我真的把事情搞砸。

B: Come on! pull yourself together. it's going to be alright. 

没事，振作起来！一定一切都会好起来的。

A: But I still love him and it's all my fault. I can't believe how immature and selfish I was being. I mean, he is a firefighter, it's not like he can just leave someone in a burning building and meet me for dinner. I've totally messed this up.

但我，我还是爱着他。这是我的错，我不敢相信。我的意思是，他是个消防员，他是不可能丢下受困在房屋的人来跟我吃晚饭的，我是彻底搞砸了。

B: You know what? I think you should take the first step. I'm sure he will forgive you.

你知道吗？我想你应该走出第一步，他一定会原谅你的。

A: No, this is not gonna happen. I've ruined everything. 

不，他不会原谅我的。我，我毁了一切。

B: Hey! Do you hear something? Guess what? it's your lovely firefighter. 

Hey！你有听到什么吗？猜猜看！是你最爱的消防员！
