Cheer Up

Ok... I’ll talk to you later. Bye

好的... 那回头聊。拜拜。

Carrie, are you ok? You seem a bit down.

凯莉，你还好吗？你看起来有点低落。

I just got off the phone with my boyfriend. He is always getting upset and losing his temper over nothing. It’s so hard to talk to him at times.

我刚跟我男朋友通完电话。他老是无缘无故地生气发火。有时候跟他说话真难。

Maybe it’s just that he is stressed out from work or something. He does have a pretty nerve wracking job you know.

也许他只是工作压力大什么的。你也知道他的工作挺让人紧张的。

Yeah but, he is always in a really foul mood. I try to find out what’s bothering him or get him to talk about his day but, he always shuts down and brushes me off.

是啊，但他总是心情特别差。我试着问他怎么了，或者让他聊聊今天的事，可他总是闭口不谈，把我打发走。

Men are like that you know. They can feel nervous, anxious or on edge and the only way they can express it is by trying to hide it through aggressiveness.

男人都这样。他们感到紧张、焦虑或烦躁的时候，唯一表达的方式就是用攻击性来掩饰。

I guess you are right. What do you think I should do? He wasn’t always this grouchy you know...

我想你说得对。你觉得我该怎么办？他以前没这么爱发脾气的……

Talk to him, try to cheer him up when he is down and if that doesn’t work, I say get rid of him and get a new one!

跟他聊聊，在他低落的时候逗他开心。要是这招没用，那就甩了他换一个！

You are something else you know that?

你这人真是的，你知道吗？
