  A:昨天我和戴维狠狠地吵了一番。我希望他现在没再生我的气。
  B:What did you argue about?
  B:你们争论什么呀?
  A:He borrowed some money from me and I needed it back. He said he didn't have the money yet.
  A:他向我借了些钱,我想要回来。他说他还没有钱。
  B:Well, he should pay you back. It's only fair.
  B:哦,他应该还你钱,这样才公平。
  A:Yes, but I got angry with him too quickly. He probably thought that I mistrusted him. I shouldn't have got angry.
  A:是的,但我很快就跟他急了。他可能认为我不信任他。我不应该生气的。
  B:Did you lend him a lot of money?
  B:你借给他很多钱吗?
  A:Not much. I had to pay an unexpected bill, so I needed the money back.
  A:不多。我只是需要付一笔额外的账单,所以我需要把钱要回来。
  B:Well, talk to him about it next time you see him. He probably feels as bad about it as you do. Close friends sometimes have disagreements. It's nothing unusual. Neither of you said anything really nasty, did you?
  B:那下次看见他和他谈谈。可能他和你一样觉得不舒服。好朋友有时也会有不同意见。这很常见。你们谁都没有说很难听的话吧?
  A:No, we didn't. I guess you're right. We should patch things up.

  A:I don't like to make friends with people who aren't honest. Honesty is very important to me.

  B:I think it's important to most people. The problem is that you can usually only find out if someone is honest by getting to know them.

  A:You can find out from their friends.
  A:你可以从他们的朋友那儿得知。
