Mitch:How was work today?
米奇：今天工作怎么樣？
Nancy:Terrible. Nobody could get along and the name-calling started early.
南希：糟糕透了。沒有人可以相處得來，大家早早地就開始斗嘴。
Mitch:Did anybody throw a tantrum or act out in some other way?
米奇：難道沒人發脾氣或者以其他方式表現出來?
Nancy:Several did. At one point, a couple of them stomped out and slammed the door, but they eventually came back. I wish they’d given each other the silent treatment instead.
南希：倒是有幾個人。他們砰的一聲關上了門，噔噔地走出了屋子，不過最終還是折回來了。我希望他們彼此可以冷靜一下。
Mitch:So there was yelling?
米奇：這么說，他們大喊大叫了？
Nancy:Lots of yelling. They tried to talk over each other and wouldn’t take turns. After a while, I wanted to demand some quiet time, but no one would have paid me any attention.
南希：大喊大叫是常事。他們試圖說服對方，不依不饒。過了一會，我想讓他們安靜一會，但沒有人理我。
Mitch:That sounds like a lot of posturing. At least it didn’t devolve into hitting and biting.
米奇：聽起來都是裝腔作勢。至少，沒有演變成打人、咬人的暴力情況。
Nancy:Not yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there is plenty of that next week when the Congressional subcommittee on peacekeeping meets again.
南希：這倒沒有，不過，下周國會召開維和小組會議要是出現這種窘況，我應該能坦然面對了。
