VOA流行美语之：好想好想谈恋爱(2)

LL: To break up means to end the relationship. Apparently, Rick broke up with Jennifer last night.

LH: 昨天晚上才分开，Rick就已经和别的女孩手牵手了， 真是不可思议。

LL: From what Rick says, he decided to break up with Jennifer, because he met someone new that he liked even better.

LH: Rick遇到了他更喜欢的人，所以和Jennifer分手了。 真是喜新厌旧的人呢，Jennifer一定伤心死了。 Rick是怎么跟她说的呢？

LL: Rick said he called Jennifer last night on the phone and told her he wanted to break up.

LH: 什么？他只是打了个电话，这太不礼貌了，他至少应该当面道歉。

LL: Well, I guess since they hadn\'t been seeing each other very long, he didn\'t think it a problem to break up over the phone.

LH: 他们交朋友的时间虽然是不长，可是毕竟是谈过恋爱的。如果我的男朋友突然打来电话要分手，我会很难过的。

LL: Well, at least Rick didn\'t send Jennifer a text message telling her he wanted to break up.

LH: 电子邮件？Larry，你跟女朋友分手不会只发个电子邮件吧？

LL: Well, me personally, no. But I\'ve known guys who have broken up with girls by sending them a text message.

LH: Larry, 你可不能像他们那样。

LL: I promise, Li Hua. And right now it is an easy promise to keep, considering I\'m not seeing anyone!

今天李华学到了两个常用语。一个是seeing someone, 意思是跟某人谈恋爱。还有一个是break up， 意思是分手。
