英文原版对话1000个:1154 Long Distance Relationships

 　　Alex: So how do you feel about long distance relationships?

 

　　Maria: Not that good. I had two relationships by now and both of them ended after me going somewhere. First time I was in Denmark but like I lived on a school in another city and while I was there for four months like I think two months after I went home to him and broke up and then came back to the school and just didn't really care. And then the second time I went traveling and I missed him so much and I came back and realized that there was nothing left. I'd lost everything while I was away so I don't, after one month, after two months, I think it just doesn't work for me if it's not really special.

 

　　Alex: Yeah, I guess you're kind of like me. I have to see the person.

 

　　Maria: Exactly.

 

　　Alex: Almost, you know, daily.

 

　　Maria: Exactly and you can have conversations online and on the phone but if there's no, I don't know, it doesn't have to be much, just like be close, see each other in the eye.

 

　　Alex: It's a big difference, yeah. I did a month when I went home to Australia away...

 

　　Maria: This summer?

 

　　Alex: Yeah, this recent summer and like Skype is just not enough. Do you know what I mean? You can see the person, you can talk to them, you know you can kiss the camera if you want but it's not...

 

　　Maria: If you want.

 

　　Alex: You know it's not the same but that's not to say I don't think, some people can do it.

 

　　Maria: I figure if it's a very, like if the relationship is very, it's very passionate² or you've been going on for a long time because both of my relationships were under one year I think. The first one was one year and the second one was half a year. So if we're used to staying together then I think you can work it out. I'm just too impatient³.

 

　　Alex: Yeah, I guess under a year you haven't really learned⁴ to depend on the other person all the time.

 

　　Maria: Exactly.

 

　　Alex: Or...

 

　　Maria: Still going by the passion¹ and if you can't see the person every day or like whenever you want, then the passion just slowly fades⁵.

 

　　Alex: Yeah, agreed.

 

　　Maria: But this is your first relationship right?

 

　　Alex: Yes it is and I did one month when I went home away from the person and it was just...

 

　　Maria: And that was the first time you ever went away from the person?

 

　　Alex: Yeah and it was just aah horrible⁶, horrible, horrible, horrible.

 

　　Maria: I remember the first time I like traveled while my boyfriend was still at home and it was a week and I was devastated⁷ so it's, if it's passionate it's...

 

　　Alex: Well I did Christmas away from them when I went to Christmas, I did India for Christmas last year.

 

　　Maria: OK.

 

　　Alex: And two weeks was bad enough and then a month and I was just pulling my hair out, do you know? So.

 

　　Maria: Yeah, it's hard.

 

　　Alex: It, yeah, it certainly is.

 

　　Maria: Yeah.
