John, have you seen the sea swords（剑）? I need them to cut some paper. Or the How can you say that, babe? Of course, I love you so much. John, I'm talking to you. Have you seen the sea swords?

  I need them right now. Please. Martha, stop. Yeah, of course I love you. You're the love of my life. Forever（永远）, baby.

  Wait a minute. My dad is here. I'll call you back in a second. Okay（好）? Dad, I'm talking with Martha. She was telling（ 告诉） me something about her last trip to Europe.

  Again with Martha? Son, we came here, so you can help me. Remember? We have a lot of things to do. We have to mold（塑造） our grass（草）, we need to water（使湿） the plants and the flowers. You know it's my job, and we need to finish with this garden this afternoon.

  Hey, are you listening to me? Yes, dad, I'm listening to you. I'm gonna help you, but just give me some minutes. Look, I don't want to bother（烦扰） you, but can we talk for a minute, please? Just a minute. Alright（ 好）, alright（ 好）.

  Just let me send my future（将来的） wife some stickers, and that's it. Okay, what's the matter（物质）? Sure（ 〈口语〉 的确）, I'm gonna help you now. What should I do? We need to talk about your girlfriend, Martha. There's something I don't like from her.

  Oh, come on. I know you don't like her. You have told me that many times, dad. It's not that I don't like her, but you don't even know her very well. How many times have you seen her? I know you're worried（ 担心的） because I have only seen her a couple（夫妇） of times, but she's the love of my life.

  She's beautiful, she's intelligent（聪明的）, she can be a little shy（羞怯的） sometimes, but also funny. Yeah, maybe, but she's not here anymore（再也不）. She traveled to other country, son. You don't see each other. She traveled some months ago, and all you do is spend your time on the phone. Yeah, because we talk on the phone.

  Nowadays（现今）, we use the smartphone to chat（聊天）. Yes, I know, and I support（支持） technological（科技的） advances（进展）. Seriously（严重地）, but I'm worried（ 担心的）. You don't need to be worried. I know you disagree（有分歧） with the idea of having an online relationship（关系）, but that's normal（正常的） nowadays（现今）.
