美國文化口語-同性戀
JAKE: We have to pick up Conrad before the party.
CHARLIE: Alright, no problem.
JAKE: We're supposed to meet him at Cal's Bar at 10:00,but he said he might be a little late. So maybe we'll have a drink there.
CHARLIE: Wait a minute. Cal's bar?
JAKE: Yes.
CHARLIE: That's a gay bar.
JAKE: Yes, it is. Conrad is gay. Didn't you know?
CHARLIE: I thought he was maybe gay, but I wasn't sure.Anyhow, you don't expect me to go into a gay bar, do you?
JAKE: Why not? We're supposed to meet him there.
CHARLIE: Why doesn't he meet us outside?
JAKE: Why should he do that? It isn't illegal for us to go in.
CHARLIE: Yeah, but who wants to go in?I'm not gay, you know. Why should I go in a gay bar?
JAKE: You sound like you're afraid.
CHARLIE: I just wouldn't be comfortable.
JAKE: You've never been in a gay bar before?
CHARLIE: No, never.
JAKE: But it's just a bar. There's no danger.You shouldn't be so homophobic.
CHARLIE: Well...
JAKE: Listen. If you refuse to go in, Conrad will be offended.You don't hate gay people, do you?
CHARLIE: No, I don't. But I never went into a gay bar before.
JAKE: Don't worry about it. There is nothing strange about it.If Conrad's there, we'll leave for the party.If he's not, we'll sit down and have a drink.
CHARLIE: Okay. I will try it.I suppose it isn't reasonable for me to refuse to go in.After all, gay people aren't afraid to go into normal bars.
JAKE: I'm glad you feel that way.We'll leave in about ten minutes, alright?
CHARLIE: Fine.
杰克：我們在派對開始前要去接康瑞德。
查理：好的，沒問題。
杰克：我們約好十點在凱爾酒吧碰面，但是他說可能會晚一點，所以我們可以在那兒喝一杯。
查理：等等，凱爾酒吧?
杰克：是的。
查理：那是同性戀酒吧。
杰克：是的?？等鸬率峭詰?，你不知道嗎?
查理：我想他可能是同性戀，但是不確定。不管怎么說，你要我去同性戀酒吧嗎?
杰克：為何不?我們約在那兒碰面的。
查理：為什么不在外頭碰面?
杰克：為何他要那么做?我們進去又不違法。
查理：沒錯。但是誰要進去?我不是同性戀，為何要去同性戀酒吧?
杰克：聽起來你好像很害怕。
查理：我只是會很不自在。
杰克：你以前沒去過同性戀酒吧嗎?
查理：從來沒有。
杰克：只是酒吧，不會危險的。你不要對同性戀這么恐懼。
查理：嗯……
杰克：聽好，如果你拒絕進去，你將會冒犯到康瑞德。你又不討厭同性戀，不是嗎?
查理：是的，我不討厭。但是我從來沒去過同性戀酒吧。
杰克：別擔(dān)心，沒什么好奇怪的。如果康瑞德到了，我們就去派對。如果還沒，我們就坐下來喝杯酒。
查理：好，我試試看。我想我沒理由拒絕進去。畢竟同性戀者不會害怕去一般的酒吧。
杰克：我很高興你那么想。我們十分鐘后離開好嗎?
查理：好的。
