A: Well ... that's a long story.

剧目四、男人全都靠不住，在场者除外

A： C 给D做媒，让她和自己的另一位朋友E 约会。

B: Today C and D have met for coffee to talk about how D's date with E went. C: So D, what did you think of E? Did you guys have a nice time on your first date?

D: Oh yeah, it was great! He took me to an Italian restaurant and we had an amazing conversation. I told him about how many kids I want, and how my parents will be so excited to meet him. C: You said all that on the first date? Alright .... Well are you two going out again?

D: Yeah! I called him after I got home to arrange our next date, but unfortunately his grandma is sick so he has been busy every night visiting her in the hospital.

A: B Bowman，看来这个E还真是a catch! D好象对他很满意，甚至提到去见父母和生孩子的事呢！不过，第一次约会就说这么严肃的事儿，会把男生吓跑的。

B: Judging from my personal experience, that's very possible! Did you hear that E's grandmother got sick right after his date with D? That's a little odd.

A: 就是啊! D一约E，E就说自己奶奶病重，哪有这么巧的事？! 八成是他不想再见面，所以找的借口! C: E told you that his grandmother is sick, huh? What exactly did he say?

D: He said his grandmother got cancer and has only a few weeks to live. It's really so sad! But when I talked to him on the phone, it sounded like he was holding up really well. C: It didn't sound like he was too upset, huh? What did you tell him?

D: I asked if there was anything I could do to help his family, and I told him that I could be a shoulder for him to cry on.

C: Well I hate to tell you this D, but both of E's grandmothers passed away more than five years ago. A: B Bowman, C说 E 的祖母五年前就“passed away”了， “pass away”不是去世的意思么？

B: Exactly. Sometimes people say that someone \ A: 怪不得E在电话里 holding up so well---没有悲恸欲绝，原来奶奶生病真是他编出来的借口!

D: What do you mean his grandmothers are already dead? Wait a minute, you don't think he's avoiding me, do you? C: Well you know, claiming that your grandmother is sick is the classic excuse used to get out of doing something. D: Oh man, I hate rejection. It really makes you feel terrible, especially when you really liked the person. C: Is there anything I can do to help? Just remember that I'm there for you if you want to talk about it. A: B, 我常听美国人说“being there for somebody，”这到底是什么意思呢？

B: \period.

A: Oh, being there for someone就是某人遇到困难时在他身边支持他，鼓励他。

D: Thanks. Sometimes talking with a friend is a great way to get over something. Do you mind if I vent a little bit? C: Of course not. If you're feeling bad and want to let your emotions out, you can just say whatever you want to me. D: Great, because I am really mad at E. I mean, what kind of an idiot wouldn't be able to appreciate a smart, beautiful woman like me? Anybody who would be friends with that guy has to be really dumb. 天下乌鸦一般黑，男人全都靠不住!

C: Uh, D .... you know I'm friends with E.

D: Oh right .... present company excluded, of course! 额~~当然了，在场者除外嘛~ 嘿嘿……
