Brian：(01-8-29) 15:55 me? what you want to know from me, you can come up with the question cause i am not used to introducing myself just like a fool(我不想象一个傻子一样自我介绍，还是你问吧).

　　Nikky：(01-8-29) 15:56 you are not a fool, u have me up talking to you and it is 4 am here(你当然不是傻子，你让我一直在和你谈话，你知道现在这里已经凌晨4点了)

　　Brian：(01-8-29) 15:58 this is the best words I've heard today, I told you I am in shanghai but actually not a local shanghainese, I came from another city.

　　Nikky：(01-8-29) 15:59 do u have brothers and sisters?

　　Brian：(01-8-29) 16:00 i have a older brother who is also in shanghai and pursuing in the university for his Ph.d (我有一个哥哥也在上海读博士)

　　Nikky：(01-8-29) 16:01 to be doctor?(医生么？美国人总把Ph.d搞成医学博士)

　　Brian (01-8-29) 16:01 no, kind of material engineering major, he's a big motivator for me, he has a lot of influence in my life in terms of u know, inspiring me to always try to move to the next level(哥哥对我影响很大，总是激励我，推向人生下一个目标). So we spend a lot of time, sort of like what we are supposed to do , and you? do you have brothers and sisters ?

　　Nikky：(01-8-29) 16:01 u make me envy u so much(很羡慕你), 1 brother older

　　Brian：(01-8-29) 16:02 what he does?

　　Nikky：(01-8-29) 16:03 he is in college for computers

　　Brian：(01-8-29) 16:05 that's pretty good, you know, just before the graduation, i really want to go to overseas for further studying after taking the tofle and GRE test, but i cannot come up with a good statement.

　　Nikky：(01-8-29) 16:06 why u would like to study here

　　Brian：(01-8-29) 16:06 and no university in US can afford me a 100% scholarship(拿不到全奖去了也是刷盘子), the facts of no scholarship or even half one will make me wash the dishes all the time, and it scares the shit out of me(俚语：想到这我就不寒而栗，scare the shit out of somebody).

　　Nikky：(01-8-29) 16:07 well, a lot of Chinese are doing quite well here in America, they are smart and hardworking and successful not just limited to the China Town(唐人街，或者中国城) and doing some dirty dishes job like what have imaged , so u don't need to have the panic(恐慌，害怕) like this.

　　Brian：(01-8-29) 16:08 u bet!(你说的很对，这同时也是美国国防部长拉穆斯.菲尔德的口头蝉，再次温习)All of my years of trying to figure out stuff for myself, so I guess I have been able to look at my life in a way that I guess a lot of people have, I try to catalogue it.

　　Nikky：(01-8-29) 16:09 u did! My friend

　　Brian：(01-8-29) 16:10 and for u, I think that the only way to think of it is that , u know, people're saying your wound, is your gold(伤痛是金), u know. Wherever u're hurt, that's where u become stronger. So that's what, that's what it's really about(习惯用法：就是这样).

　　Nikky：(01-8-29) 16:10 yeah, u say that, that's what it's really about. But I'm still a bit not confident about the stuff I have, I mean, I just sort of a girl who is very easily to please or kinda satisfy, I am not as hard for my former boyfriend as to understand, I just couldn't figure out……(我是一个很容易满足的女人，但我的前男友却不这么想，我真不知道是为什么)

　　Brian：(01-8-29) 16:11 well, Nikky, did ever u hear the California beach story(有个加州海滩的故事), A man was walking along a California beach and stumbled across an old lamp(碰到了一旧灯). He picked it up and rubbed it and out popped a genie(打开后，跳出一魔鬼).

　　The genie said, "OK! You released me from the lamp, This is the first time this month . You can get one wish!(你把我从里面放出来，我准你许个愿望)"

　　Nikky：(01-8-29) 16:12 what did he want?

　　Brian：(01-8-29) 16:12 The man sat and thought about it for a while and said, "I've always wanted to go to Hawaii but I'm scared to fly and I get very seasick. Could you build me a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over there to visit?(我一直想去夏威夷，不想坐飞机，而且还晕船"seasick"，你能不能替我修座到那儿的桥，这样我就可以开车过去了)"

　　Nikky：(01-8-29) 16:13 and the genie built the bridge for the man?

　　Brian：(01-8-29) 16:13 no, the genie laughed and said, "That's impossible. Think of the logistics of that! How would the supports ever reach the bottom of the Pacific? Think of how much concrete, how much steel! No, think of another wish(不可能，你想想这得花多少水泥，多少钢筋呀，许别的愿吧)."

　　The man said, "OK" and tried to think of a really good wish. Finally, he said, "I've been married and divorced four times. My wives always said that I don't care and that I'm insensitive. So, I wish that I could understand women, know how they feel inside and what they're thinking when they give me the silent treatment, know why they're crying, know what they really want when they say 'nothing'; know how to make them truly happy...." (我结了四次婚，都离了，我的妻子们都说我不懂女人心，不够体贴，所以我想许个愿意，希望能了解女人，当她们不理我的时候明白她们内心在想什么，知道为什么她们会哭泣，当她们说"不"的时候什么是真正想要的东西，怎样让她们幸福......)

　　The genie said, "You want that bridge two lanes or four?"(魔鬼说了，桥是想要两条通道还是四条通道？)

　　Nikky：(01-8-29) 16:15 your nut(你这个小混蛋！)! I'm not the kind of woman in your story. :<

　　Brian：(01-8-29) 16:15 so don't think anything about it, don't u be thinking that if u will be more in love with him today that u were even 7 months ago or something like that, u are still gotten to get to meet someone and marry him, right?

　　Nikky：(01-8-29) 16:17 I don't know

　　Brian：(01-8-29) 16:19 but u are not ruling it out(高级口语用法：不排除这种可能性).

　　Nikky：(01-8-29) 16:20 yeah, I am not ruling it out. I still have a lot of things to get through. I will not mind his cheating on me any more……

　　Brian：(01-8-29) 16:20 80% men cheated in America, the other 20% cheated in Europe.

　　Nikky：(01-8-29) 16:20 a larger percentage in America

　　Brian：(01-8-29) 16:21 larger?

　　Nikky：(01-8-29) 16:21 larger

　　Brian的小结：1999年的4月10日还在长春读大三的我在上海参加了GRE最后一次笔试，是和哥哥一起考的。我是第一次考，他是第二次考，结果两个人加起来分数也不到4000分，双双落榜，我宁愿在国内呆一辈子也不会再考第二次了，所以我很佩服哥哥这么执着的勇气。他的一个女同学轻轻松松考了2300，我几乎要昏过去。一般我看外国文章三句话才能把我弄晕，GRE很容易，一句话就可以了。

　　好句子：

　　I'm not ruling it out(我不排除这种可能性)

　　He has a lot of influence in my life in terms of u know, inspiring me to always try to move to the next level (他对我影响很大，总是激励我，推向人生下一个目标）
