Life is really interesting. The first time we met was right here, and we drank mocha. But now, you and I have both changed.
B: 是啊。以前覺得這種事情只發生在小說裡。沒想
到，自己也親身經歷了一次。

Yeah. Before I thought this kind of thing only happened in novels. I never imagined I would experience it myself.
A: 我當時真的很衝動。你能原諒我嗎？
woˇ da¯ ngsh´ı zhe¯ nde heˇn cho¯ ngdo`ng. nˇı ne´ng yua´nlia`ng woˇ
ma?
At the time I was really impulsive. Can you forgive me?
B: 我也好不了多少。那時候我們都太不理智了。
woˇ yeˇ haˇobuliaˇo duo¯ shaˇo. na` sh´ıhou woˇmen do¯ u ta`i bu` lˇızh`ı le.
I wasn’t really any better. Then we were both too irrational.
A: 是啊......。還是說點高興的吧，最近還好嗎？
sh`ı a....... ha´ishi shuo¯ ma?
diaˇn ga¯ ox`ıng de ba, zu`ıj`ın ha´i haˇo
Yeah.... Let’s talk about something happier. How have you been lately?

你呢？

Ummm, my life has changed a lot. It’s even a little hard to accept. How about you?
A: 我還是老樣子。每天上班、加班、下班。沒什麼
意思，可能一輩子都要這樣了。

Same as always. Every day I go to work, work overtime, then go home. It’s meaningless, and maybe my whole life will be this way.
B: 怎麼這麼悲觀？我們都這麼年輕，一定會有好的
未來的＇
zeˇnme zhe`me be¯ igua¯ n? woˇmen do¯ u zhe`me nia´nq¯ıng, y¯ı- d`ıng hu`ı yoˇu haˇo de we`ila´i de!
How can you be so pessimistic? We’re both so young. We’ll have a good future for sure!
A: 哎，別入老說“有緣無分”，現在我總算體會到
了。

(sigh) Other people always talk about being ”destined to meet but not meant to be,” and now I’ve finally experienced it.
B: 可是我們現在還能做朋友， 還能坐在一起喝咖啡、聊天，能這樣我就知足了。對了，我馬上要出國了。
