M: Did you hear about Johnny?
男: 你听说约翰尼的事了吗?
W: No. Why? Is he okay?
女: 没有啊。怎么了?他没事吧?
M: He had some plastic surgery done.
男: 他去做了个整形手术。
MM: Do you remember he had a scar on his face?
男: 你还记得他脸上有道疤吧?
W: Yes, of course. He always had that. I've known him since primary school, and I always remember him having that on his cheek.
女: 是啊,当然记得。他一直都有那道疤。我从小学就认识他,我一直记得他脸颊上有那道疤。
M: Well, he had it fixed.
男: 嗯,他把它弄掉了。
W: Fixed? What do you mean? You can't fix a scar.
女: 弄掉?什么意思?疤痕怎么能“弄掉”?
M: You know what I mean? He had an operation done on it, plastic surgery, in order to cover it and make it less noticeable.
男: 你懂我意思的。他做了个手术,整形手术,就是为了遮盖它,让它不那么明显。
W: Oh, well, that's ridiculous, isn't it? It was noticeable, sure.
女: 哦,这样啊。但这很可笑,不是吗?那道疤确实挺明显的,
But it wasn't an ugly scar, It never occurred to me that he should have it taken care of like that.
但它并不难看啊。我从来没想过他应该那样去处理它。
M: I agree. I can understand some scars and physical defects can be ugly and distracting, but not Johnny's.
男: 我同意。我能理解有些疤痕和身体缺陷可能难看又碍眼,但约翰尼的不是。
In fact,I thought it added character... like it gave him a certain uniqueness.
事实上,我觉得那道疤给他增添了个性……像是赋予了他某种独特的气质。
W: He must have felt differently though. He must have felt self-conscious and insecure, perhaps.
女: 那他肯定不是这么想的。他一定是感到不自在和没安全感了,也许吧。
M: No, no, that's not the reason. He was totally fine with his scar.
男: 不,不,不是那个原因。他对自己那道疤完全没问题的。
As you said, he had had it for most of his life.
就像你说的,他大半辈子都有那道疤了。
W: Then why did he have the operation?
女: 那他为什么要做手术?
M: Because his girlfriend wanted him to.
男: 因为他女朋友想让他做。
W: What? That's so superficial and selfish of her.
女: 什么?! 她这也太肤浅自私了吧!
If Johnny's girlfriend doesn't like him for who he is, then she does not deserve to be his girlfriend.
如果约翰尼的女朋友不喜欢他本来的样子,那她就不配做他女朋友。
M: You are right. So he is insane to give in to her like that.
男: 你说得对。所以他屈服于她真是太傻了。
But when I told him, he said he loves her and would just do what she wants him to.
但我跟他说的时候,他说他爱她,只要她想,他就去做。
W: What a fool he is.
女: 他真傻。
