跟艾米莉一起學口語 第723期:表達“悲觀情緒”
You're too pessimistic.
你太悲觀了。
I disagree with your pessimism.
我不贊成你的悲觀態度。
I have lost hope for the result. （not hopeful about）
我對結果不抱希望。
I don't want to be infected with your pessimism.
我不想被你的悲觀主義傳染。
A: George, you're about to play, do you have cold feet?
喬治，你馬上就要上場比賽了，很緊張嗎？
B: To be honest, I'm not nervous because I'm not very hopeful about the game.
說實話，我不怎麼緊張，因爲我對這場比賽並不抱什麼希望。
A: Why do you say so? I've never heard you say such pessimistic words.
爲什麼這麼說？我從來沒聽過你說這麼悲觀的話。
B: I say for a reason. The player against me is much stronger than I, and I'm really not confident getting the better of him.
我這樣說是有原因的。和我對決的那位選手比我強壯多了，我實在沒信心打敗他。
A: Come on, how can you grow the aspirations of others to outdo yourself. Didn't you beat someone stronger than you before?
拜託，你怎麼能長他人志氣滅自己威風呢？你以前不是打敗過比你強悍的人嗎？
B: It's different this time. I'm facing with the boxer called Tyson. So far, he hasn't lost all the cumulative competitions. Isn't it horrible?
這次可不一樣，我要面對的是一位叫泰森的拳擊手。到目前爲止，他在所有的累積賽中還沒有輸過，是不是很可怕？
A: So what? You have your own strengths. As long as you give the flexible advantages into the play, I'm sure you can make it.
那又怎麼樣？你也有自己的強項，只要你在比賽中發揮自己靈活的優勢，我相信你可以成功的。
B: My advantage can hardly stand a fight before him.
我的優勢在它面前簡直是不堪一擊。
A: Your idea is too pessimistic. Clear it up quickly.
你這個想法太悲觀了，趕快把它清理出去。
