趣味英语第116期:最好的朋友和前女友出去玩应该怎么办

Pedro Freitas:

佩德罗·弗莱塔斯：

"What should I do when my best friend is hanging out with my ex-girlfriend?"

“我最好的朋友和我的前女友出去玩，我应该怎么办？”

Damn, bro.

该死的，哥们。

That has something to do with dating and I have no idea.

这个问题和约会有关，我不清楚。

You should stay away from it.

你应该回避。

Ignore them. Pretend that they are cardboard pieces of paper.

无视他们。假装他们是纸板。

He's not a true bro. Bros before hoes, am I right?

他不是真正的兄弟。不要重色轻友，我说得对吧？

And that's, like, bro code. Try to just give him hints on you don't think it's cool.

这是兄弟法则。尽量提示他，你认为那并不酷。

There's this thing called "the bro code" and you need to respect it, so when your bro, or your best friend, is hanging out with your ex-girlfriend, you should just know that that's a no-no area.

有种东西名为“兄弟法则”，你要尊重这个法则，当你的兄弟或者你最好的朋友和你前女友出去玩时，你应该知道那是不可接受的行为。

I would just tell him straight-up because it's just gonna get worse.

我会直接跟他说清楚，否则事情会变得更糟。

Be like, "Dude, what are you doing?" Depending on how he reacts is how you should react.

你可以这样说：“哥们，你在干什么？”你的反应应该取决于他如何反应。

Tell him and be like, "I don't really think that you should be hanging out with her."

告诉他：“我真的认为你不应该和她出去。”

Don't try to get jealous and don't let it get in the way of your friendship.

不要嫉妒，不要让嫉妒妨碍你们的友谊。

It's okay. She's your ex. Just let him do it.

那没什么。她是你的前女友。就让他去做吧。

She's your ex-girlfriend. You have no say anymore. You're out of the picture.

她是你的前女友。你已经不再有发言权了。你和她已经没有关系了。

Celebrate, buddy¹. She's your ex for a reason. You know? That's the best thing that could possibly happen to you.

庆祝吧，伙计。她成为你的前女友是有原因的。你知道吗？那可能是你遇到的最好的事情。

Depending on where you are in your maturity², you can say, "All right, cool, live and let live." But it could get a little awkward if you ever decide to double date.

这取决于你们的成熟度，你可以说：“好吧，酷，各自生活互不相扰。”但是如果你们决定两对情侣一起约会，那可能会有些尴尬。

What do you mean "hanging out"? Are they just hanging out or are they (wryly) "hanging out," because there's a big difference. If they're hanging out-out, if you know what I mean, then you probably have to hit him up and be like, "What's up bro? What's going on?"

你所说的“出去玩”是什么意思？他们只是出去还是他们（挖苦地说）去“约会”？这两者有很大的区别。如果他们是出去约会，如果你明白我的意思，那你可能要打他，然后问他：“哥们，怎么回事？发生了什么？”
