楊:How is your new boyfriend?

你的新男友怎么樣？

麗:Well, he is ok, just sometimes I think he is too careful.

嗯，他不錯，只是有些時候我覺得他太認真了。

楊:Do you have some details? Normally careful is a good point.

能不能說具體點呢？通常來說認真是優點。

麗:He calculates everything during our dating, taxi, drinks and even tips.

我們約會時他計算每一分錢， 出租車，飲料甚至小費。

楊:It’s ok, why not?

這不錯啊，為什么不呢？ 麗:I just doubt maybe he records each bill he pays for me or for us. I think it is God's truth that man pay for woman during dating.

我只是懷疑他會記錄每一筆為我或我們一起花掉的錢。我認為約會時男人為女人花錢是天經地義的。

楊:Actually it‘s not. If you want to keep a long relationship with him, then you must find a proper way to deal with money issues.

事實并不是這樣。如果你想跟他保持長久的關系，那么你就必須找到合適的方法來處理錢的問題。

麗:Then what shall I do?

那么我應該怎么辦呢？ 楊:I think you shall set up a joint account and get a budget, then put money together.

我認為你們應該建立一個共同帳戶，預算一下，然后共同存點錢。

麗:Well, I will try, but after marriage I will take care of all his money. His is ours and mine is mine.

恩，我會試試看，但是結婚后我會掌管他所有的錢，他的就是我們的，我的還是我的。
