aThe trouble is not that. It is that he may suddenly remember something I promised him a couple of weeks ago, out of a clear blue sky. Then he complains that I have gone back on my words.
麻烦不是这个,而在于他会突然想起几个星期前我对他的承诺。然后就抱怨我言而无信。
bDoes he do that with his Dad? I mean, does he complain things to his father?
他对父亲也是这样吗?我的意思是,他向父亲抱怨吗?
aHe never does, and in fact, he seldom communicates with him.
从来没有,事实上是他几乎不和他交谈。
bBut didn’t you say that his Dad takes him under his wings?
但是你不是说他的爸爸总是宠着他吗?
aYes, I did. He only takes side with him. He seldom asks what Dick is doing.
