Conversation Two
M: Did you hear about Johnny?
W: No. Why? Is he okay?
M: [12] He had some plastic surgery done.
W: What? Why?
M: Do you remember he had a scar on his face?
W: Yes, of course. He always had that. I’ve known him since primary school, and I always remember him having that on his cheek.
M: Well, he had it fixed.
W: [13] Fixed? What do you mean? You can’t fix a scar.
M: You know what I mean? He had an operation done on it, plastic surgery, in order to cover it and make it less noticeable.
W: Oh, well, that’s ridiculous, isn’t it? It was noticeable, sure. But it wasn’t an ugly scar. It never occurred to me that he should have it taken care of like that.
M: I agree. I can understand some scars and physical defects can be ugly and distracting, but not Johnny’s. [14] In fact, I thought it added character… like it gave him a certain uniqueness.
W: He must have felt differently though. He must have felt self-conscious and insecure, perhaps.
M: No, no, that’s not the reason. He was totally fine with his scar. As you said, he had had it for most of his life.
W: Then why did he have the operation?
M: Because his girlfriend wanted him to.
W: What? [15] That’s so superficial and selfish of her. If Johnny’s girlfriend doesn’t like him for who he is, then she does not deserve to be his girlfriend.
M: [15] You are right. So he is insane to give in to her like that. But when I told him, he said he loves her and would just do what she wants him to.
W: What a fool he is.
长对话二
男:你听说约翰尼的事了吗?
女:没有。怎么了?他还好吗?
男:他做了整形手术。
女:什么?为什么?
男:你记得他脸上有一道疤痕吗?
女:当然记得。他一直都有。我从小学就认识他了,一直记得他脸上有那道疤。
男:嗯,他把它修复了。
女:修复了。什么叫疤痕无法修复?
男:你明白我的意思吗?他做了整形手术,就是为了遮盖它,让它不那么显眼。
女:哦,这太荒谬了,不是吗?它确实很显眼。但那疤痕并不难看。我从来没想到他竟然会那样处理这件事。
男:我同意。我能理解有些疤痕和身体缺陷会很丑,让人分心,但约翰尼的不是。事实上,我觉得这让他更有个性,更独特。
女:不过,他自己想必并不这么想。他一定感到不自在和缺乏安全感。
男:不,不,不是这个原因。他对自己的伤疤完全不在意。正如你所说,他大半生都带着这道伤疤。
女:那他为什么要做手术呢?
男:因为他女朋友希望他修复。
女:什么?她这样说太肤浅和自私了。如果约翰尼的女朋友不喜欢他本来的样子,那她就不配做他的女朋友。
男:你说得对。所以他那样迁就她简直是疯了。但当我告诉他时,他说他爱她,会按照她的意愿去做。
女:他真是个傻瓜。
