英文原版对话1000个:1071 His Best Friend

 　　Rebecca: Alright, so Gareth, who's your best friend?

 

　　Gareth: Ah, difficult question, but I would have to say that my wife is my best friend.

 

　　Rebecca: You're wife so then where did you meet?

 

　　Gareth: We met in England when I was eighteen. My wife was twenty-one, and we met at university.

 

　　Rebecca: At the university really. So why are you such good friends?

 

　　Gareth: I think because we can share true feelings. With some of my friends I tend¹ to hold a little bit back. I don't necessarily², give all of myself to them, so with my wife I can tell her that I'm sad or upset or angry or happy and we can talk about a lot of stuff³, and I feel very comfortable and yeah, just realized with her.

 

　　Rebecca: That's really nice. What do you guys normally⁴ do together?

 

　　Gareth: We like movies and TV shows. We're really into American TV shows and we just finished up watching Lost. It's an American TV show that went on for quite sometime⁵, like six years, and we watched it from the very beginning and we just watched the last episode⁶ and we like TV shows. We also have two children so most of our time is spent playing with them. Going out. We like to travel a lot, so we often travel back to my home-country, England, and my mom's living in America at the moment so we're planning to visit her for Christmas.

 

　　Rebecca: Sounds like a lot of fun.

 

　　Gareth: Yeah, it is. Definitely⁷.

 

　　Rebecca: So then, the big question: do you guys ever fight?

 

　　Gareth: Oh, yeah. Of course, yeah, but that's the good thing about it. It's making up after the fight that's important. So it doesn't matter that we fight and I think that most couples early on tend to avoid⁸ conflict⁹ and they tend to bottle stuff up inside, but then if you do keep that inside you'll end up resenting¹⁰ the partner for it, so I think it's healthy to give your opinion and that's what my wife and I do. We often tell each other when we're unhappy, and the reason why and we discuss it and we often fight and sometimes it gets heated, a heated argument¹¹, but then we make up and it's good. It makes us stronger. It makes up realize what annoys the other so.

 

　　Rebecca: So you can avoid them in the future.

 

　　Gareth: Exactly, yeah.

 

　　Rebecca: Sounds really nice. That's really great. Thank you very much.
