Nikky: hi, brian

　　Brian: see u again

　　Nikky: what's up?

　　Brian: nothing particular happened(没有什么特别的事情发生)

　　what were u doing before online?

　　Nikky: I got many many things done before coming online, the reports(报告), and chores(家务杂事) at home, a lot of things to do

　　Brian: u finished?

　　Nikky: yes, so we can have a good talk again

　　Brian: :), but how do u unwind(舒展，放松) amidst(介词：在…之中) these chores of your daily busy life?

　　Nikky: u really want to know that?

　　Brian: yes, just tell me.

　　Nikky: I unwind by playing with my heather at night and listen to music---- I have a huge CD collection(我收藏了很多CD唱片). I actually feel most comfortable in the record store

　　Brian: COOL, know any Chinese singer? (知道中国歌手的名字么？)

　　Nikky: no,:)

　　Brian: that's understandable(可以理解)

　　Nikky: and how is ur college mate? Did she find a job?

　　Brian: no, she went back to Changchun the day before yesterday, depressed. (她前天回长春了，失望而归)

　　Nikky: u r a good comfort her. (你可以安慰她呀！)

　　Brian: I comfort her, who comforts me?

　　【注】看到这里，一定有人会说，这不是我们典型的中国式英语么(我安慰她了，哪谁安慰我呢？)。美国第一夫人劳拉.布什在接受美国有线新闻网络记者采访时就被问到：(you comfort him, who comforts you?/你安慰他(指布什)，那谁来安慰你呢？)

　　Nikky: maybe she should never let anyone discourage herself, besides, create her own stuff(创造属于她自己的东西), don't wait for others to give it to her(不要等待别人来主动给予)

　　Brian: she couldn't even think about it, I mean---

　　Nikky: try everything she could

　　Brian: try everything she could, no offer could get from any company(没有能从任何一家公司拿到offer ), and what about u, nikky, any new projects u in ur work? (你呢，nikkky?手头有什么新的事情做？)

　　Nikky: I just completed my reports and so I'm taking a little time off right now-----which is just another way of saying that I need talk to u

　　Brian: me too
