不好意思,我今天要加班。 你自己先吃饭好吗?

不要嘛,人家要等你啦。你什么时候下班呢?

我还不清楚,大概还要两个小时。

I am not sure now. Maybe in 2 more hours.
可是我已经等了你一个小时耶,你又说不来了,真是的。

But I’ve been waiting for you for an hour. And now, you’re telling me that you’re not coming? Well, I never…!
啊,我受不了了。你可不可以不要再说“讨厌”和“真是的”这些词了?

Ah, I can’t stand it! Can you stop saying things like ‘I can’t stand you’ and ‘well, I never’?
为什么?
wèishénme ?
Why?
因为男人这样说话太娘娘腔了。女孩子撒娇的时候才会这么说。
yīnwèi nánrén zhèyàngde shuōhuà tài niángniángqiāng le 。nǚháizi sājiāo de shíhou cái huì zhème shuō 。
It just sounds too girly for a guy to say those things. Only girls talk like that, when they’re whining.
