每句先給英文原句，下面一行是中文翻譯。想練口說時把譯文遮住，跟著音訊一句句複述。

1. Emma 0:00

   Nina has canceled on me four times lately, and every reason has been different.

   Nina 最近放我鴿子四次，而且每次理由都不一樣。

   Line 1
2. Tom 0:05

   Do the reasons sound believable, or is the repeated pattern itself what's unsettling you now?

   那些理由聽起來可信嗎？還是重複發生這件事本身就讓你不安？

   Line 2
3. Emma 0:10

   The reasons could be real, but she never suggests another time unless I bring it up first.

   理由可能都是真的，但除非我先提，她從不主動給下一個時間。

   Line 3
4. Tom 0:17

   Then the issue may be priority rather than honesty, because the effort to repair is missing.

   那問題可能是優先順序，不一定是不誠實，因為修復關係的動作缺席了。

   Line 4
5. Emma 0:22

   That's what worries me, since I don't need perfect attendance and only want some sign that I matter.

   這正是我擔心的，我不需要她次次都到，只想看到我有被放在心上。

   Line 5
6. Tom 0:29

   Have you told her the impact clearly, or have you only answered with polite no worries messages?

   你有把這個影響清楚告訴她嗎？還是都只回『沒關係』的客氣話？

   Line 6
7. Emma 0:34

   Only the polite version, because I didn't want to sound needy if she's genuinely under pressure.

   大多是客氣版，因為如果她真的壓力很大，我不想聽起來很黏人。

   Line 7
8. Tom 0:40

   That caution is kind, but it also hides the information she needs if she has misread the effect.

   這份謹慎很體貼，但如果她誤讀了影響，也會遮住她本來需要知道的資訊。

   Line 8
9. Emma 0:46

   I could say the repeated last-minute changes make me stop planning around her.

   我可以說，反覆的臨時改期，讓我已經不再把她排進我的計畫。

   Line 9
10. Tom 0:51

    Good, and focus on the pattern and the impact rather than accusing her of lying.

    很好，把焦點放在模式和影響，不要直接指控她在說謊。

    Line 10
11. Emma 0:56

    What if she says I'm overreading things and that she has simply had a terrible month?

    如果她說我想太多，只是她剛好這個月真的很糟，怎麼辦？

    Line 11
12. Tom 1:02

    Then ask for one small behavioral sign, like earlier notice or one fixed plan initiated by her.

    那就請她給一個小小的行為訊號，例如更早告知，或由她主動提出一次固定計畫。

    Line 12
13. Emma 1:08

    If she can do that, I'll treat the problem as temporary stress rather than fading care.

    如果她做得到，我就把這件事視為暫時壓力，而不是關心在消退。

    Line 13
14. Tom 1:14

    And if nothing changes after the talk, the friendship probably does sit lower on her list now.

    如果談完還是沒改變，這段友情現在大概真的在她清單裡排得比較後面。

    Line 14
15. Emma 1:20

    That would hurt, but at least I'd be responding to evidence rather than building stories in my head.

    那會很痛，但至少我是在回應證據，而不是在腦中自己編故事。

    Line 15
16. Tom 1:26

    Exactly, because clarity is kinder than preserving comfort by pretending the pattern means nothing.

    正是如此，因為看清楚比假裝這個模式沒意義、勉強維持舒服更溫柔。
