"Brandon, dinner is ready. Come here to have breakfast, honey(蜜)." "Mom(妈妈), no, I don't want to eat. I'm not going to eat today. Thank you." "Brandon, how come you're not going to eat today? What happened?" "Mom, please, I don't feel like eating now. Can you leave? I don't want to eat." "I just need to be alone(单独的) for a while(一段时间). I don't want to eat or talk to anybody(任何人).
Please." "Brandon, I am your mother. If you have any problem, you should tell me what's going on." "I know you're my mom, but you won't understand what I'm feeling now. Please leave." "I will wait for my dad. I will talk to him when he comes back from work. Now leave." "No, no, no. I'm not going anywhere(在什么地方).
I know your dad is not here. He's working, but... I can be of help, too. I am an adult. I probably went through the same problem." "Are you sure? Because this is a boy thing.
Are you sure you want to know?" "Of course, honey. Just tell me what's happening and I will help you. I promise(允诺)." "All( 全部) right. I will tell you. Do you remember Joanna? She came here last week." "Joanna?
Oh, Joanna, of course. She's your girlfriend. She seems( 似乎) to be a nice girl." "Well, she's not. She cheated(骗取) on me. She lied(躺) to me and I don't know what to do now." "What? That girl? Did she cheat on you?
How's that possible?" "Oh, but she's going to listen to me. I will talk to her and tell her that she's a..." "Mom, Mom, Mom, what are you doing? You're not supposed(猜想) to do that." "But how did she dare( 敢) to do this to you? I can't believe it. She's a complete..." "Mom, if you're not going to help me, then why did I tell you my problem?" "You can't just get angry. I need your advice. I need to talk to somebody, please."
"All right. All right. I will have to calm( 镇静) down. I want to help you. I'm going to sit down." "Now tell me, how could this happen? You can talk to your mom, honey." "Okay(好).
I'm going to tell you what happened. Last week, I went to a party with her." "We were fine. It was one of our friend's birthday, so we bought a present for him." "She didn't have much money. I told her that it was not necessary(必要的) to give him a present." "After( 在…之后) all( 全部), he's our friend, and I was sure he would understand if we didn't bring a present."
