Hello English learners, welcome back to another show with us here at EnglishPod.

英語學習者們，大家好！歡迎回到 EnglishPod 的節目中來。

And today we're bringing you another romantic lesson, but a little bit sad as well.

今天，我們將為您帶來另一堂浪漫的課，但也有點傷感。

Today, unfortunately, our couple is going to be breaking up.

今天，很不幸，我們的情侶要分手了。

So it's a little bit sad today, but it's going to be good because we're going to be teaching you some great words and phrases that you can use when you are faced in this situation.

所以，今天有點難過，但也會很好，因為我們會教你一些在遇到這種情況時可以使用的好詞好句。

And so we're going to learn some phrases for breaking up and also some phrases for staying together.

是以，我們要學習一些分手的短語和一些在一起的短語。

So let's listen to the dialogue for the first time and see what happens with our young couple.

讓我們先聽聽對話，看看這對年輕夫婦會發生什麼。

I've been thinking and well, I think we need to start seeing other people.

我一直在想，我覺得我們應該開始和其他人約會。

I mean, we've had our ups and downs and we have the occasional disagreement, but we're happy together, aren't we?

我的意思是，我們的關係時好時壞，偶爾也會有分歧，但我們在一起很快樂，不是嗎？

I know that I can be hard to deal with and you're a great guy.

我知道我很難相處，而你是個好人。

You're the type of guy that any woman would kill for.

你是那種任何女人都會為之瘋狂的男人。

You're breaking up with me because I'm perfect?

You deserve someone who can make you smile and make you happy the way that you made me happy.

你值得擁有一個能讓你微笑、讓你快樂的人，就像你讓我快樂一樣。

I could say that I'll be all you need, but that'd be a lie.

我可以說我是你的全部，但那是謊言。

I know that we can get through this, but we got to stick together.

我知道我們能渡過難關，但我們必須團結在一起。

I hope someday you can find some way to understand I'm only doing this for you.

我希望有一天你能想辦法理解我這麼做都是為了你。

I don't really want to go, but deep in my heart, I know this is the kindest thing to do.

我真的不想去，但在我內心深處，我知道這樣做是最仁慈的。

I'll send my sister to pick up the rest of my things next week.

我下週會讓我妹妹去取剩下的東西。

I wish you all the best and I hope that one day we can meet again.

我祝願你們一切順利，希望有一天我們能再次相見。

Okay, so a pretty sad ending to this relationship, isn't it?

好吧，這段感情的結局很悲慘，不是嗎？

Yeah, but I don't think the girl was very moved or very sad by breaking up with him.

是的，但我覺得那個女孩並沒有因為和他分手而非常感動或傷心。

Maybe she's got some other boyfriend somewhere else.

也許她在別的地方有了別的男朋友。

Well, as you mentioned, we listened to some great phrases and it's time for us to take a look at them now in Fluency Builder.

好了，正如你提到的，我們聽了一些很棒的短語，現在是時候讓我們在流利構建器中看看這些短語了。

Okay, here we're going to focus on phrases that people use when they break up.

好了，在這裡我們將重點討論人們在分手時使用的短語。

So maybe you've heard these in movies and we're going to look at the meaning now.

也許你在電影中聽過這些詞，現在我們就來看看它們的含義。

All right, our first phrase, as we heard, she started by saying, we need to talk.

好了，我們聽到的第一句話是，她先說，我們需要談談。

All right, so it's a very direct sentence.

好吧，這是一個非常直接的句子。

So when you tell someone, we need to talk, you're telling them that you want to talk about a serious thing, right?

所以，當你告訴別人 "我們需要談談 "時，你是在告訴他，你想談一件嚴肅的事情，對嗎？

So if somebody tells you, we need to talk, you know that you're going to talk about a very serious matter.

所以，如果有人告訴你，我們需要談談，你就知道你們要談的是一件非常嚴肅的事情。

Yeah, a problem or a breakup or something.

是啊，出了點問題，或者分手了什麼的。

And after that, she told him that they should start seeing other people.

之後，她告訴他，他們應該開始和其他人交往。

Okay, I think we need to start seeing other people.

好吧，我想我們得開始見其他人了。

All right, so this is very easy to understand.

Okay, so it basically means that you will break up.

好吧，這基本上意味著你們會分手。

It's an indirect way of saying that, right?

Yeah, you're not saying, hey, let's stop dating.

是啊，你不是說，嘿，我們別再約會了。

You're saying, oh, well, maybe we should date other people.

你會說，哦，好吧，也許我們應該和其他人約會。

And kind of giving the idea that you will still date each other, but everyone knows you won't.

這讓人覺得你們還會約會，但大家都知道你們不會了。

All right, so let's start seeing other people.

Now for our third phrase, she says, it's not you, it's me.

第三句話，她說，不是你，是我。

Now this is a very cliche phrase and you hear it all the time in movies and well, some people still use it, right?

這是一句老生常談的話，你在電影中經常能聽到，而且有些人還在用，不是嗎？

這基本上意味著，我就是問題所在。

Right, so I am breaking up with you because it's my fault, not your fault.

對，所以我要和你分手，因為這是我的錯，不是你的錯。

Yeah, so it's kind of a nice way to break up with someone.

是啊，所以這也算是一種不錯的分手方式。

But actually, everyone knows that it's kind of a lie.

但實際上，每個人都知道這是個謊言。
