Conversation:

A: Steven, would you like to go dance with us tonight?

B: John, I'm just not in the mood for this.

A: You look upset. What's going on?

B: I lost the table tennis game yesterday.

A: What a pity!

B: I just don't want to play table tennis anymore.

A: Is it that bad? It's nothing more than a game.

B: My opponent beat me on the very first ball. I was wondering if it's appropriate for me to play table tennis.

A: Come on. Don't lose heart. I'm sure you will succeed.

B: Perhaps you're right. But I just need some time to recover from this.

A: I understand.

Translation:

史蒂文，今晚和我们一起去跳舞怎么样？

约翰，我现在没那个心情。

你看起来很沮丧，怎么回事？

昨天在乒乓球比赛中我输了。

真遗憾。

我不想在打乒乓球了。

有那么糟糕吗？不过是输掉一场比赛而已。

我的对手一球就把我淘汰了。我在想，可能我不太适合打乒乓球吧。

别这样，不要灰心，我相信你一定会成功的。

或许你说的对，但是我仍然需要时间从失败中恢复过来。

我能理解你。
