丽丽，你好讨厌哦，我都等了你一个小时，你怎么还没下班？
Lìli ，nǐ hǎo tǎoyàn é ，wǒ dōu děng le nǐ yī ge xiǎoshí ，nǐ zěnme hái méi xiàbān ？
Lily, I can’t stand you! I’ve been waiting for you for an hour. Why are you still at work?

不好意思，我今天要加班。 你自己先吃饭好吗？
bùhǎoyìsi ，wǒ jīntiān yào jiābān 。 nǐzìjǐ xiān chīfàn hǎo ma ？
I’m sorry, I have to work overtime tonight. You go ahead and eat, ok?

不要嘛，人家要等你啦。你什么时候下班呢？
bùyào ma ，rénjiā yào děng nǐ la 。nǐ shénme shíhòu xiàbān ne ？
No. I want to wait for you. When will you finish, hmmm?

我还不清楚，大概还要两个小时。
wǒ hái bù qīngchǔ ，dàgài hái yào liǎng ge xiǎoshí 。
I am not sure now. Maybe in 2 more hours.

可是我已经等了你一个小时耶，你又说不来了，真是的。
kěshì wǒ yǐjīng děng le nǐ yī ge xiǎoshí yē ，nǐ yòu shuō bù lái le ，zhēnshìde 。
But I’ve been waiting for you for an hour. And now, you’re telling me that you’re not coming? Well, I never…!

啊，我受不了了。你可不可以不要再说“讨厌”和“真是的”这些词了？
ā ，wǒ shòubuliǎo le 。nǐ kě bu kěyǐ bù yào zài shuō “tǎoyàn ”hé “zhēnshìde ”zhèxie cí le ？
Ah, I can’t stand it! Can you stop saying things like ‘I can’t stand you’ and ‘well, I never’?

为什么？
wèishénme ？
Why?

因为男人这样说话太娘娘腔了。女孩子撒娇的时候才会这么说。
yīnwèi nánrén zhèyàngde shuōhuà tài niángniángqiāng le 。nǚháizi sājiāo de shíhou cái huì zhème shuō 。
It just sounds too girly for a guy to say those things. Only girls talk like that, when they’re whining.
