NIKKY: I was doing some research about the Worldcom, u surely know that company?

　　【注】面对一个学经济的女人，谈话的内容自然离不开最近发生的世界通信公司(Worldcom)的丑闻事件.

　　BRIAN: yeah, I’ve heard about it.

　　NIKKY: so this week I wrote about things that related(与...相关) to that company.

　　NIKKY: this is a dark side about US, and never ends. (这是美国黑暗的一面，而且永远不会停止。)

　　BRIAN: well, every country has a dark side

　　NIKKY: we talked about that I remember, right? (我们以前谈过这个事情，对么？)

　　BRIAN: yes, we r just going to be good talker, and good friends.

　　NIKKY: Great, it’s the best thing.

　　BRIAN: u realize that we can never be true friends. (我想我们永远不会成为真正的朋友。)

　　【注】在此之前，nikky给我发了一个小的flash动画，是讲男人女人之间的朋友和爱情及性的关系。

　　NIKKY: excuse me?

　　BRIAN: we can never be true friends of course.

　　NIKKY: why not?

　　BRIAN: what I’m saying is…, just like Harry and Sally’s story. (就像《哈力遇上沙莉》的情节一样)

　　【注】看过这个电影的人除了见识到梅格.瑞恩在饭店点冰激凌时的挑剔以外，应该对那段朋友和性的对白有一定印象。

　　NIKKY: oh, this is not a come-on in any way, shape or form.

　　BRIAN: yeah,, that the men and women cant be friends because the sex part always gets in the way. (因为有性的因素在里面，所以男人和女人永远不可能成为朋友。)

　　NIKKY: that’s not true, I have a number of men friends and there’s no sex involved. (不对，我就有很多男性朋友，但是我和他们之间没有性关系的)

　　BRIAN: just like sally, :)

　　NIKKY: :)

　　BRIAN: no, u don’t have these friends. (不，你不可能有这些朋友的)

　　NIKKY: yes, I do.

　　BRIAN: no, u don’t.

　　NIKKY: u brought up a lot of arguments today.

　　BRIAN: u only think this is argument.
