Why–are-you-late
Bobby:hii-nikki，how-ru-today?
Nikki:not-too-bad，where-did-u–go-last-night?
Nikki:Yuan，i-was-so–disappointed-last–night-when-u-didn’t-reveal『显露』urself-online。
Nikki:u-promised–me-to-‘log-on’『登陆』at-8pm–china-time，how-could–u-forget?is-that-ur-promise?Do-u–always-break–ur-promises-like-that?
Bobby:i-am-awfully-sorry，nikki。i–was-studying-in-the-office-and-forgot-to–watch-my-time，when-i-showed-up『出现、露面』online，u–were-already-gone。im–terribly-sorry-about-last-night。
『Input』这里另有隐情，那时我的英语还不是很好，有时候想表述一个内容，就是想不到对应的词汇进行组合，以至于聊天的时候就会磕磕绊绊、词不达意，为了避免这种窘境，我就在办公室找一些口语素材，做准备工作，结果就去晚了，等到我上线的时候，她已经下线了。
Nikki:well-im-not-complaining『抱怨』yuan，actually-i-had-some–photos-itried-to–send-to-u-last-time，but–u-weren’t-online。
Bobby:im-so-sorry，i-didn’t-know-what’s-got–into-me，my-head-gets-a–little-woolly『混乱的、模糊的』these-days。
『Notes』What-has-got–into-sb（某人）是怎么回事啊？
Nikki:never–mind-la，i–know-u-dont-care-hehhe
Bobby:u-live-all–alone-in-Sydney?
Nikki:yes，one–can-be–so-isolated『隔离的』and-desolate『凄凉的』being–alone-in-an-apartment，thats–probably-why-i-wanted-to–talk-to-u-all-the-time。
Bobby:i-appreciate『感激』u–saying-that，well-im-curious『好奇的』，like-who’s-supposed–to-pay-for-college，your-parents?
Nikki:nahhh-im-‘depending–on’『依赖、依靠』scholarship『奖学金』to-cover-my–‘tuition-fees’『学费』right-now，and-im–a-‘part-time’『兼职』model。
『Input』这里的cover可以注意一下，它表示够付、足以支付的意思，它比pay多了一个‘够’的含义；E。g。1000rmb-should-cover–my-expense『花费』for-a-month-‘board-and–lodging’『食宿』。
Bobby:that’s-fabulous，do-u-need–to-hit-the-catwalk『T型台』‘every-once-in-a-while’『偶尔、间或』?
Nikki:i-don’t–think-so，im-a-p。a。only-in-very-special-situation–should-i-be–needed-to–take-the-catwalk。
『Notes』p。a。=photogenic-assistant
Bobby:wowww-sounds-like-im-talking-to-a–‘bigwig’『大人物』。hahahh
Nikki:hehhehe-im-nobody-la，we–do-things-differently–here-in–the-west，once-u-reach-18，ur–completely-on-your-own『独立、靠自己』，it’s–our-rule。
Bobby:i-understand–how-hard-it–is-to-‘scrape-a-living’『勉强维持生活』from-part-time-modelling，you–are-like-a-heroine『女英雄』，i–pay-my-respect–to-u。
Nikki:hehee，i–remember-my-mother–always-warned-me–as-i–was-growing-up，she-was-all‘Nikki，you-are–going-to–pay-for-your–*******-some–day-in-future，and-the-price『代价』is–gonna-be-high。’
Bobby:I-believe–she–‘meant-well’『出于好意』，actually-you–are-very-lucky-to-have–them-said-to-u，it’s–words-of–wisdom-that-can’t-be-heard–from-anybody-else。
Nikki:yup-yup，its-nice-from-u，u-really-know-how-to–‘relate-to’『理解并体恤』ppl(people)，i–can-tell-ur-a-very-upstanding『正直』and–respectable-young-man。
Bobby:that’s–so-thoughtful-of-you，what–do-u-do-for–fun-in-your-leisure『休闲、空闲』time?
Nikki:draw-pics，sing，movies，shopping，jogging『慢跑』etc。
Bobby:i-know-vogue『时尚』can-be-able-to-catch-the-interest–of-adolescents『青少年』，but–not-me，i-didn’t-know-jack-about-fashion，maybe–its-bcos-im-out-of-date『过时了』。
Nikki:nahhhh-ur-not-old-fashioned『老土』，ur-just–so-deep–in-what–u-do–that-u-take-no–notice-of-other–aspects『方面』in-life。that’s-all。
『Input』notice也是一个务必要掌握的词，既可作名词，也可作动词，我还是通过举例子的方式让大家去体会；E。g。‘Normally-i-don’t-think-anybody-is-going–to-‘pickon’『找茬』you-‘due-to’『因为、由于』your-size，but-if–they-really-are，then–they-are-not-worth-taking-notice-of–what-they-say，its-just-my-recipe’『秘诀』。E。g。I-have-been-noticing-how-people–generally-spend–their-leisure-time，mostly–playing-mahjong，is-it–that-entertaining『有趣的』of-a-thing?
Bobby:that’s-so-true，I–‘go-along’『赞同』with-that，actually–I-have-some-embarrassing『尴尬的』request。
Nikki:be-my-guest。
Bobby:u-said-u-had–some-photos-that-u–were-prepared–to-show-me-last-night，would–u-like-to–show-them-to-me-now，please?
Nikki:no-probs，I-am-attaching『粘上、附上』here-this-one–taken-at-leisure-reading，what–do-u-think?
Bobby:u-look-so–cute-and-petite『娇小的』。i–could-hardly-imagine-u-and-modeling，hhahha
Nikki:well–do-u-think-im-too-small–to-be-a-model?
Bobby:nopee-i-didn’t-mean-that，do–u-have-any-more-pictures?
Nikki:hmmm-i-took-numerous『许多的』pictures-in-my–work-so-I–seldom-take-pictures–during-my-daily-life。
Bobby:that’s-reasonable，ive-been–working-in-an-IT-technological-company，and–it-turns-my–stomach-just-to-stare–at-the–computer-when-i–am-home。
Nikki:yeahhhh-nothing-is-perfect，i-had-the-similar『类似的』trouble-like-u-had，in-fact，i-hate-seeing-the-camera–in-my-private『私人的』life。My-ex-boyfriend–never-dare-to-let-me–see-him-with-a-camera-no-matter-where-we-go。
Nikki:because-i-face-the-camera-all-day-long-and-i-do–not-want-to-be-in-a-surrounding『环境』like-i-am-still-in-the-studio『工作室』，working-again。
Bobby:i-dare-say-anyone-who-has-u-as-a-gf(girlfriend)will-be-very-lucky，u-can-easily-make-them-laugh，aye?
Nikki:hmmm-i-don’t-really-know，i-might-be-so-boring，but-i-have-my-silent-spells-too。
『Notes』spell表示一段时期；E。g。I-spent-a-brief–spell-as-a-typist-in-a-chemical-plant-when-I-first-graduated-from-high-school。
Bobby:really，its-not-like-u，u-seem-so-talkative『健谈的』。
Nikki:hehhe-anything-can-happen，i-could-be-silent-for–days-especially-when-i-am-moody『郁郁寡欢的』and-my-friends-all-know-what-happened
Nikki:whenever-i-am-in-one-of-my-silent-spells-i-like-to-be-alone-and-usually-i‘ll-go-to-the-beach-alone。
Bobby:Wow-could-u-watch-the-sunset-on-the-beach?
Nikki:yes，i-like-to-watch-the-sunset-at-the-beach。When-i-am-calm-again-everything-will-become-normal，strange-right?。
Bobby:it’s-a-little-weird『怪异的』，but-understandable『可理解的』。I-guess-it–was-a-kind-of-therapy『治疗』，a–way-of-thinking–about-where-u-were-going-and-what-u-were–leaving-behind，relieve『放松』urself(yourself)to–fight-for-another-day。
Nikki:ohhh-yuan…its-been-a–joy-to-talk–to-u，u-really–know-how–to-talk-ppl-through-it。hahhah
Bobby:thank-u，it’s–been-a–delight-to-talk-to-u-too，what-time-is-it-there-for-u?
Nikki:its-almost11:35pm-my-time。
Bobby:don’t-u–get-sleepy?
Nikki:a-little-bit，i-need-to–take-a-hot–bath-first-before–going-to-bed
Bobby:okay，i–had-a–great-time-this-evening，hope-to–see-u-soon
Nikki:that’s-good，tc，see-u-around-then
Bobby:bye-bye，take-care，see–u-later
Bobby:so-long
