今天的这段对话，在讨论约会迟到，
 
在餐厅等了三个小时男朋友还没到，发生了什么事情
 
来听今天的讲解:
 
A: Stephen! Where have you been? I've been trying to get a hold of you for hours.
 
你去哪儿了，斯蒂芬，我这几个小时一直在打电话联系你。
 
B: I...um...there was an emergency at work, so...
 
我工作上有紧急情况，所以...
 
A: I was waiting for you in a restaurant for three hours and you didn't even have the decency to call me. Do you have any idea how embarrassed I was?
 
我在餐厅等了你三个小时，你甚至都没有想到给我打个电话，你知道我有多尴尬吗？
 
B: Honey, I promise this won't happen again. It's just that I...
 
亲爱的，我保证这种事情不会再发生，我只是...
 
A: Yeah, right. I've heard it all before. I'm not going to take any more of your empty promises. This is your fifth time you've stood me up in two weeks. You need to get your priorities straight. I'm tired of you putting your job first all the time.
 
对，这些话我以前全都听过了，我不会再相信你的空头承诺了。这是你两周内第五次放我鸽子了，你需要把你的个人事情的轻重缓急分清楚。我厌倦了你一直把工作放在第一位。
 
B: Come on, veronica. That's not fair. I do care about you a lot. You know that, I try to...
 
别这样儿，veronica。这不公平，我是非常在乎你的，这你知道的，我尽力。
 
A: You know what, maybe we should just take a break. I need some time to think about where this relationship is heading.
 
你知道吗？或许我们应该分开一段时间，我需要一些时间去思考这段感情的发展。
 
B: But veronica, would you just listen to me? There was a fire alarm at my office building today and I was stuck...
 
但是，veronica，你能听我吗？今天我们的办公大楼发生火警警报，被困在这里...
