丹尼尔：我很好，谢谢。你还记得你感觉悲伤、生气或尴尬的时刻吗？
Vella: Yeah. Actually it happened before I came here. I had a huge fight with my father, dad, and yeah we had a disagreement about something and I, well I had a disagreement with my aunt which is my dad's sister and my dad just kind of took her side instead of my side and I was really disappointed in him and I lost my temper and I started hitting the window and it kind of broke and my dad was...
维拉：记得。那就发生在我来这里以前。我和我爸爸大吵了一架，我们两个人发生了争执，我和我姑姑，就是我爸爸的妹妹意见不和，而我爸爸站在我姑姑那边，而不支持我，我当时对他非常失望，所以我大发脾气，开始砸窗户，然后把窗户砸破了，我爸爸……Daniel: Wait a minute. You broke the window because you were angry?
丹尼尔：等一下。你因为生气打破了窗户？Vella: I did.
维拉：对。Daniel: OK.
丹尼尔：好吧。Vella: I really lost my, you know, control and my dad he started crying and, you know, seeing him cry was really, you know, painful.
维拉：我当时完全失控了，然后我爸爸开始哭，我看到他哭感觉非常痛苦。Daniel: Wow. I didn't know you were that kind of person that could break a window.
丹尼尔：哇哦。我不知道你是会打破窗户的人。Vella: You know when I lose my temper, I tend to do, you know, things that are out of control but yeah.
维拉：你知道，我发火的时候会做出一些不受控制的事情。Daniel: But what was the whole argument about? Do you think it would have that result like where you break a window because of an argument with your dad?
丹尼尔：那就是你们的全部争吵吗？你只是和你爸爸发生了争吵，至于让你打破窗户吗？Vella: Well, I think it was just because I was really disappointed that he took, you know, my aunt's side instead of my side.
维拉：我想那是因为我对他站在我姑姑那边而不支持我感到非常失望。Daniel: Hm, hm.
丹尼尔：嗯，嗯。Vella: And he was saying stuff like, you know, it's all my fault and, you know, he was really disappointed in me so I was really sad that he said that and, yeah, I lost my temper and started hitting.
维拉：他还说，那全是我的错，他对我非常失望，我对他说的话感到非常难过，所以我发火了，然后开始砸窗户。Daniel: OK, how about being embarrassed? Do you remember any time where you were really embarrassed?
丹尼尔：嗯，那尴尬的时候吗？你还记得你感觉非常窘迫的时候吗？Vella: Yeah, I think in high school. So there's this guy I have a huge crush on and I was walking down the stairs and, you know, he saw me and, you know, I was acting like awkwardly and there was a big plant in front of me and I didn't see it because I was, you know, too busy looking at him and I kind of tripped over and it was really embarrassing and everyone was laughing and that guy, you know, saw me.
维拉：有，那是在高中。当时我非常喜欢一个男生，有一次我下楼的时候碰到了他，而当时我表现地非常笨拙，我前面有一株很大的植物，而我因为一直在看他所以没有看到那个植物，然后我就绊倒了，当时我非常尴尬，所有人都在笑我，而那个男生一直看着我。Daniel: That's the worse thing.
丹尼尔：那真是最糟糕的情况。Vella: Falling like in front of your crush, I think that will be really embarrassing.
维拉：在你喜欢的人面前摔倒，我想那真的非常难堪。Daniel: OK, what did you do afterwards?
丹尼尔：对，那之后你做了什么？Vella: Well I just acted cool, you know, and said I'm fine and just left.
维拉：我表现得很酷，说了句我还好，然后就离开了。Daniel: Wow, that must be really difficult?
丹尼尔：哇哦，那一定很难吧？Vella: Because I was trying to, you know, look pretty as I walked down the stairs and I didn't see the plant in front of me.
维拉：因为我在下楼时努力让自己看起来很漂亮，可是我没看到我前面的那个植物。Daniel: So after that did you ever get that guy to like you?
丹尼尔：那后来你有让那个男生喜欢上你吗？Vella: Well actually he, you know, he came up to me and he was asking if I was OK and we ended up exchanging numbers.
维拉：其实他有走过来问我有没有事，后来我们交换了电话号码。Daniel: So that was a success?
丹尼尔：所以其实那也算是成功了？Vella: Yeah, it was a success.
维拉：对，是成功了。Daniel: OK, that's pretty good.
丹尼尔：好，那太好了。
