趣味英语第31期:你会选择你爱的人还是爱你的人

Jericho panganiban asks:

杰里科·班甘尼班问道：

"Who would you choose, someone you love or someone who loves you?"

“你会选择你爱的人还是爱你的人？”

Oh, that's a good question.

哦，这个问题好。

I would choose, probably, someone who loves me. Why? 'Cause they love me. And I'm awesome¹.

我可能会选择爱我的人。为什么？因为他们爱我，我很棒。

I'll choose somebody that loves me because I want to be selfish and I want to be loved.

我会选择爱我的人，因为我想自私一点，我想被爱。

You're better off choosing someone that loves you 'cause you can learn to love that person.

你最好选择爱你的人，因为你可以学着爱那个人。

There's a song by Crosby, Stills & Nash. There's a lyric² that says, "If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with." So I'd say someone who loves you.

Crosby, Stills & Nash有首歌。里面有句歌词是：“如果你不能和你爱的人在一起，那就爱那个和你在一起的人。”所以我的建议是选择爱你的人。

The one that you love.

选择你爱的人。

I think I would choose someone I love, and hopefully they like me back.

我想我会选择我爱的人，希望他也会爱我。

I would enjoy it a lot more if it was someone who I loved just because I know my feelings towards them.

选择我爱的人我会更开心，因为我知道我对他的感情。

I'm not for all that "you love me and I don't love you." I need to be happy in my life, and I refuse to be miserable³. So I'm gonna choose the person that I love.

我不喜欢“你爱我而我不爱你”这句话。我希望我的生活是幸福的，我拒绝痛苦。所以我会选择我爱的人。

Don't do either, and find someone that you love and find someone that loves you.

两都都不选，你要找到你的人，而这个人也同样爱着你。

Jericho, to have a really strong relationship, you really need to have both. Love can't be a one way street.

杰里科，如果你想拥有牢固的关系，那你就两个都需要。爱情不是单行道。

See if you can't find someone that feels the same way about you as you do about them.

看看你能不能找到和你有同样感觉的人。

That's a very hard thing, but I think it's nicer to love someone, as long as they're not being cruel to you or mean to you. I think the feeling of loving someone is really very special.

这是个难以回答的问题，我认为爱某个人更好，只要那个人不会狠心对你，也不会刻薄对你。我认为爱一个人的感觉是非常非常特别的。

Brent N asks:

Brent N问道：

"What's a good prank⁵ to play on Valentine's Day?"

“情人节有什么好的恶作剧可以玩？”

Do you have Valentine's Day and April Fool's Day confused because I think you're supposed to do something romantic on Valentine's Day.

你是不是把情人节和愚人节弄混了，我认为你应该在情人节做一些浪漫的事情。

Why would you play a prank on Valentine's Day? It's supposed to be for love.

你为什么要在情人节玩恶作剧？

Brent, you 'bout⁴ to be single, playing games.

布兰特，你会成为单身，自己玩游戏吧。

I have no clue because if you play a prank on your lady, you may have some big problems.

我不知道，如果你跟你的女朋友开玩笑，你可能会有大麻烦的。

I really don't think that's a nice day to play pranks⁶ on anybody. I think people could be really hurt.

我认为情人节并不适合跟别人开玩笑。我想人们会非常受伤的。

There's never a good prank, but just say, "Hey, I don't love you any more. Just kidding! I do love you."

虽然绝对不是好的恶作剧，不过你可以说：“嘿，我不再爱你了。开玩笑的！我非常爱你。”

If you're really looking for something, you might want to tell your family your girlfriend's pregnant. I mean, that's kind of romantic?

如果你在盼望一件事，你可以跟你家人说你女朋友怀孕了。这是不是很浪漫？

Go to the diamond store, get a cheap diamond ring, and propose to your girlfriend. I mean, that's a cheap trick, isn't it?

去珠宝店买个便宜的钻石戒指，向你女朋友求婚。那是个廉价的把戏，不是吗？

Ask a person what their favorite gift is, and if it's a pair of shoes, then say, "You remember those shoes you really liked?" Then she will say, then the person will say, "Yes." Then you pull out a pear, and you say you got a pear. (rimshot)

问对方她最喜欢的礼物是什么，如果回答是一双鞋，你可以问：“你还记得你喜欢的那些鞋吗？”然后她可能会说，“记得。”这时你可以拿出一个梨，说你有个梨。（击鼓）
