NIKKY: ask god(问问上帝), and call out his name
BRIAN: sorry, I don’t basically believe in god myself(我不信神的), do u ever wake up in the middle of the night?
NIKKY: yes, but I will devour(吞下) in my own juice and sat in the couch in my living room, and soon I will fall asleep again(会呀,但是当我醒来的时候,我会喝一大杯果汁,然后坐在卧室的睡椅上,很快又会睡着的)
BRIAN: were u a believer? (你信神么?)
【注】相当于do u believe in god?关于神,或外国人宗教方面的事情还没有和nikky探讨过。关于这种问题,上大学的时候很多英语老师都告诉过我们,和外国人交往的时候应该注意什么,哪些应该说,哪些不应该说,比如说问女士的年龄、问工资、有关宗教、政治之类的话题,能不谈尽量不谈,仿佛外国人都是吃人的动物,你稍不注意,话题不正宗的话就会把你吞掉一样。
NIKKY: I don’t know if I was or I wasn’t, I really don’t know. (我不知道我到底信不信,我真的不知道)
BRIAN: than were u religious? (那你有宗教信仰么?)
NIKKY: when I was a kid, yes, but not at that point any life(当我还是个小孩子的时候,我有,但是现在没有了)
BRIAN: did u go to the church? There r a big chruch nearby where I live, but I’ve never been there (我住的附近有个很大的教堂,但是我从来没有去过)
NIKKY: sometimes, but I knew there was this thing called God that was supposed to be real and supposed to be there. (有时候去,但我知道有个叫上帝的人,总是在那里,真实存在的)
BRIAN: when will u do to go to the church?
NIKKY: the time dumped by my boyfriend(被男友抛弃的时候), I said, god, either come to me now and give me some answers, or I am out of here(我告诉上帝,要么到我面前出现给我一个答案,要么我就离开这个世界)
BRIAN: what do u mean? Suicide? (自杀么?)
NIKKY: absolutely(是的)
BRIAN: u were that low? (你真有这么低沉么?)
【注】low在这里是个非常好的形容词,形容人的情绪极其低落,相当于down
NIKKY: I was that low, a nadir(最低点)in my existence(是的,这是我生命中最低沉的时候)
BRIAN: I don’t know that, r u just venting(发泄)or sth?
NIKKY: I don’t know, I don’t know the answers to all of these questions or were I just venting, maybe I’m just venting
BRIAN: u got the answers?
NIKKY: I don’t know, brian
BRIAN: u don’t know that.
NIKKY: I don’t know
