Erina: So Mike, do you have any bad habits?
惠里奈：邁克，你有壞習慣嗎？
Mike: Of course not. I'm perfect, I've no habits that are bad. Yes, I do have some bad habits. One of my bad habits is fidgeting and I think I'm a very high energy person so, especially when I'm on the phone, mixed with my slightly obsessive compulsive tendencies, I tend to arrange all the things on a desk so if there are pens and books and different things on the desk, I would be turning them and arranging them in order and pretty much always using my hands and keeping them busy and although this might not be such a bad habit, perhaps for people who are with me or next to me they might be a little bit uncomfortable because it seems like, you know, I'm a bit nervous or, you know, have something on my mind so...
邁克：當然沒有。我非常完美，我沒有壞習慣。好吧，其實我有一些壞習慣。其中一個壞習慣是小動作太多，我認為我是一個精力充沛的人，尤其是打電話的時候我會有輕微的強迫癥，我要把桌子上的東西整理得井井有條，如果桌子上有鉛筆、書或其他東西，我會把它們整齊擺好，而且我一直在使用雙手，我的手閑不下來，不過這可能并不是壞習慣，也許我旁邊的人會感覺有些不舒服，因為看上去像我很緊張或是我一直在想事情……
Erina: Not in confidence for your speech, yeah.
惠里奈：對你說的話感到不自信。
Mike: Right, in fact that's not the case but what happens is I start playing with things.
邁克：對，可是實際情況并不是那樣，可是我就是會擺弄東西。
Erina: I've seen you do that before.
惠里奈：我以前看到你那樣過。
Mike: Oh have you?
邁克：哦，你看到過？
Erina: Yeah.
惠里奈：對。
Mike: Well then I guess that really shows it is one of my bad habits. You know, I think that I do that to focus because, you know, while I'm speaking to somebody or while I'm on the phone, I arrange things on the desk and that is kind of metaphorically me arranging my thoughts in my head which is probably where this habit has come from.
邁克：嗯，我想這可以說明這的確是我的一個壞習慣。其實我這么做是為了集中注意力，因為我在和別人說話或是打電話時，我也會整理桌上的東西，我想這可能表明我的頭腦正在整理思緒，可能這個習慣就是這么來的。
Erina: I see. Yeah, do you have any other bad habits other than fidgeting?
惠里奈：我明白了。除了小動作以外你還有其他壞習慣嗎？
Mike: Well maybe a bad habit is driving quickly and I'm not sure if that's considered a bad habit but I guess when I get behind the wheel of a car I sometimes get impatient and that impatience drives me to put more weight on the gas pedal and in turn I go faster and of course speeding is not a good thing especially when you get pulled over by the police. So that's a bad habit that I might have to work on.
邁克：另外一個壞習慣是開車太快，我不確定這會不會被看作是壞習慣，不過我在開車時有時會變得不耐煩，這種不耐煩就會讓我去猛踩油門，所以我越開越快，不過在你被警察截停的時候，速度就不是什么好事了。我想這是我要改掉的一個壞習慣。
Erina: Yeah, definitely. You don't want to lose your licence.
惠里奈：沒錯。你也不想被吊銷駕照。
Mike: No.
邁克：對。
