Dialogue 1

Jingjing: Mark! I've got a bone to pick with you!
京晶：馬克，有件事讓我很不開心，我要跟你好好說說。
Mark: With me? What did I do this time?
馬克：跟我有關(guān)？我又怎么了？
Jingjing: Last night was the third time this week you called me and woke me up just because you couldn't sleep.
京晶：昨天已經(jīng)是這周第三次你半夜打電話把我吵醒了，就因為你睡不著覺。
Mark: Oh... I'm really sorry about that. I wasn't trying to be a thorn in your side. I don't know why, but I just can't fall asleep at night.
馬克：哦，實在對不起，我不是想故意找你麻煩，但我不知道怎么了，就是睡不著。
Jingjing: Well, why do you feel like you have to call me every time you can't fall asleep?
京晶：那你為什么每次睡不著都給我打電話呢？
Mark: I don't know, I guess after I talk to you I feel relaxed. It really works! If you don't mind, I might call you a few more times this week because I have a test coming up. I have to make sure I get some quality shut eye.
馬克：我不知道，我想是因為每次我跟你聊完天，我都能放松下來。真的非常有幫助！如果你不介意的話，我這周可能還要再給你打幾次電話。我馬上要考試了，我得確保我的睡眠質(zhì)量。
Jingjing: Over my dead body you will! I've had it up to here with you! I think you've got sleep insomnia! Why don't you go see a shrink or some other kind of professional that can help you.
京晶：你想得美，我的忍耐已經(jīng)達到極限了。我想你是失眠了，你怎么不去看看心理醫(yī)生，或者找其他專業(yè)人士來幫助你呢？
Mark: Geez! Okay okay. I had no idea it was upsetting you so much. Is that why you've been giving me the cold shoulder lately?
馬克：哎呀，好啦好啦，我不知道你這么不高興。你最近對我愛搭不理的就是因為這個嗎？
Jingjing: Yes! You really need to get a clue! Look, Mark, we're really good friends, but I can't solve this sleep problem you have. If you're not willing to visit the doctor, then I suggest that you do some research on better sleep techniques.
京晶：沒錯！面對現(xiàn)實吧！馬克，我們確實是非常好的朋友，但是我不能幫你解決你的睡眠問題，如果你不愿意去看醫(yī)生，那我建議你去研究一下有沒有更好的助眠方法。
Mark: Okay, but if I can't find anything useful, I might start calling you again.
馬克：好吧，但是如果我還是找不到有用的方法，我可能還是要給你打電話。
Jingjing: You better not! From now on I'm turning my phone off at night when I sleep. Talk to you later.
京晶：最好不要，從今天起我每天晚上睡覺時都會關(guān)機，拜拜。
Mark: Later.
馬克：拜拜。

Jingjing: Hey, Mark, I noticed those bags under your eyes have gone away, and I haven't been getting any phone calls in the middle of the night. You must be sleeping better?
京晶：嘿，馬克，我注意到你的眼袋都不見啦，而且最近也沒有半夜給我打騷擾電話，你的睡眠問題解決了？

Jingjing: Well, I'll have to remember all of these things. In fact, it's getting late. I think I'm gonna call it a day and go cop some z's.
