和老外聊天的地道口语第9期:把爱留住

J: Jack¹ and Mary broke up.
A: it’s so sad. They had been together for only two months. Do you know what the matter was?
J: Mary said Jack was cheating on her. Jack was seeing a girl from his hometown. One day, Maey saw them holding hands and ended the relationship immediately.
A: really? I’m very surprised. He doesn’t look like a guy who’d ever do that sort of thing, right?
J: no, he doesn’t. Anyway, she found out that he had been two-timing her for a long time.
A: maybe it is for the best. They are not suitable for each other because they have nothing in common and are completely different people.
J: how so?
A: he is an extrovert² while she is an introvert³. He likes parties while she hates them.
J: poor Mary! She really liked him.
A: anyway, she was right to end things and she deserves⁴ better.
B: do you think they’ll get back together?
A: no, I don’t think so. I know Mary. Once she makes a decision, she won’t change her mind.
J: I hope she’ll recover soon.
A: so do I.
