塔特:
What kind of qualities do you look for in your friends?
你喜欢和什么样的人交朋友?
埃迪:
I like people who are open and friendly. Those people are usually more active and fun to be with. I like spending time with my friends. We can go to bars together or play sports together.
我喜欢开朗友好的人.这类人通常都很活跃.和他们一起玩儿很有趣.我喜欢和朋友待在一起.我们可以一块儿去喝酒或是做运动.
塔特:
I don`t like to make friends with people who aren`t honest. Honesty is very important to me.
我不喜欢和不诚实的人交朋友.诚实对我来说非常重要.
埃迪:
I agree. Honest is important to most people. The problem is that you can usually only find out if someone is honest by getting to know them.
我同意.诚实对大多数人来说都很重要.不过问题在于你只能在了解了某个人之后.才知道他是否诚实.
塔特:
You can find out from their friends.
可以通过他的朋友了解嘛.
埃迪:
If you know any of their friends. You can`t rely on your friends to introduce people to you all the time. You have to go out and make the first move sometimes. I also like funny people.
如果你能认识他的朋友的话.你总不能老是依赖朋友介绍朋友.你总要出去认识人的.我还是喜欢有趣的人.
塔特:
Oh, I hate to disagree with you, but I think they don`t seem to take anything seriously. You never know when they are joking and when they are being serious.
噢.我不想反对你.但我认为那种人不像是会认真的人.你永远不知道他们什么时候在开玩笑.什么时候是说真的.
埃迪:
Sometimes it can be hard to tell, but if you know the person fairly well, you can usually see from their expression what they are really thinking.
有时候是比较难说.不过如果你很了解这个人.就可以从他的表现看出他是否认真.
塔特:
That`s not a good idea. It seems that we generally like different kinds of people. How is it that we are such good friends?
这可不是个好办法.看来我们俩喜欢的都是不同类型的人.我们怎么能成为这么好的朋友呢?
埃迪:
Maybe people don`t like to have friends that are all same.
也许人都不希望所交的朋友跟自己完全一样吧.
