Jim: Did you read this article?
吉姆：你讀了這篇文章了嗎？
Mary: No, I didn't get to it. What's it about?
瑪麗：沒有，我還沒讀到呢。是關于哪方面的？
Jim: Politics.
吉姆：政治方面的。
Mary: It is never a good idea to discuss politics with someone you don't know very well.
瑪麗：與你不了解的人一起討論政治可不是個好主意。
Jim: Why's that? How are you supposed to get to know someone if you don't ask what they think?
吉姆：這是為什么呢？如果你不詢問他們的想法又怎么去了解他們呢？
Mary: You can ask about other kinds of things. You'll never know if the person you are talking to has the same ideas. If
they don't, they might get offended at your ideas or you might get offended at their ideas.
瑪麗：你可以詢問他其他方面的事情。你根本就不知道和你談話的這個人是否與你持有相同的觀點。一旦觀點不同，要么他們被你的觀點所冒犯，要么你被他們的觀點所冒犯。
Jim: I disagree. That makes no sense. A good debate is always fun．
吉姆：我不同意你的看法。那也太沒道理了。辯論也是很有意思的。
Mary: You are right, but between friends, not strangers.
瑪麗：你說得對，但是只是介于朋友間，而不是和陌生人。
Jim: Absolutely not. I like a good debate with strangers as well as with friends.
吉姆：絕對不是。我不但很喜歡和朋友辯論，也喜歡和陌生人辯論。
