A: 你就是洋洋?你找我究竟有什么事?
nǐ jiù shì Yángyang? nǐ zhǎo wǒ jiūjìng yǒu shénme shì?
You're Yangyang, yes? What exactly do you want with me?
B: 嗯。沈太太,首先我先向您道个歉。我跟佳伟在一起很久了,现在我们已经互相离不开了。
ng4. Shěn tàitai, shǒuxiān wǒ xiān xiàng nín dào ge qiàn. wǒ gēn Jiāwěi zài yīqǐ hěn jiǔ le, xiànzài wǒmen yǐjīng hùxiāng líbukāi le.
Mrs. Shen, first, I'd like to offer you an apology. I've been with Jiawei for a long time, and now we're unable to be apart from one another.
A: 你说什么?
nǐ shuō shénme?
What are you talking about?
B: 我跟佳伟很相爱,求求你放爱一条生路,成全我们吧!
wǒ gēn Jiāwěi hěn xiāng ài, qiú qiu nǐ fàng ài yī tiáo shēnglù, chéngquán wǒmen ba!
Jiawei and I love each other very much. I'm asking you to please let your love go! Do it for us!

Don't you know that Shen Jiawei is married? Don't you know that our child is going to be born soon?
B: 我知道,可是我跟佳伟是真心相爱。他说对你已经没有爱了,只剩下责任。你忍心让他在没有爱的婚姻里痛苦吗?
wǒ zhīdào, kěshì wǒ gēn Jiāwěi shì zhēnxīn xiāng'ài. tā shuō duì nǐ yǐjīng méiyǒu ài le, zhǐ shèngxià zérèn. nǐ rěnxīn ràng tā zài méiyǒu ài de hūnyīn lǐ tòngkǔ ma?
I know, but what Jiawei and I have is true love. He said he's no longer in love with you now, and that all he has left is a sense of responsibility. You would be so heartless as to allow him to suffer in a loveless marriage?
A: 打着爱情的幌子偷情,还这么理直气壮!你有什么资格跟我谈判?你的爱啊情啊,应该自己找他去解决!
dǎ zhe àiqíng de huǎngzi tōuqíng, hái zhème lǐzhíqìzhuàng! nǐ yǒu shénme zīge gēn wǒ tánpàn? nǐ de ài a qíng a, yīnggāi zìjǐ zhǎo tā qù jiějué!
You act as though your love affair is a real relationship, yet you still assume you're in the right?! What makes you qualified to negotiate with me? Your loving relationship, this and that, you should talk to him if you want to deal with this!
B: 可是我也怀孕了,要不然我是不会让沈哥为难的。
kěshì wǒ yě huàiyùn le, yàoburán wǒ shì bùhuì ràng Shěn gē wéinán de.
But I'm pregnant too. Otherwise, I wouldn't be causing trouble for Jiawei.
