A： “气死我了！本来和同事约好下班去吃新开的那家火锅，我都期待一礼拜了。结果临下班前十分钟，她突然发消息说家里有急事得回去。我能说啥？只能说‘没事没事你先忙’… 其实心里在滴血。”
B： “我懂我懂！这种期待落空的感觉最难受了。那你最后咋办的？自己去了还是回家了？”
A： “本来想自己去的，但一个人吃火锅也太惨了吧！最后去便利店买了份关东煮，坐在公园长椅上吃完的。一边吃一边喂蚊子，感觉自己像都市偶像剧里演失恋的女主角，特滑稽。
B： “哈哈哈哈画面感太强了！不过关东煮的汤很治愈啊。下次我俩去，我绝对不放你鸽子，我要是鸽你我请你吃一周火锅！”
A： “行，这话我可记小本本上了！
英文
A: "You won't believe how annoyed I am! I was supposed to hit up that new hotpot place with my coworker after work—I'd been looking forward to it all week. Then, ten minutes before clocking out, she texts me saying there's a family emergency and she has to bail. What could I say? Just 'No worries, take care!'... while internally screaming."
B: "Ugh, the worst! That letdown feeling is brutal. So what did you end up doing? Went solo or just headed home?"
A: "Thought about going alone, but dining solo at a hotpot joint is next-level sad. Ended up grabbing some oden from the convenience store and ate it on a park bench. Fed mosquitoes while I fed myself—felt like a cheesy rom-com heroine nursing a broken heart. It was kinda pathetic and funny at the same time."
B: "Hahaha, I can totally picture it! But hey, that oden broth is soul food. Next time, I'll go with you—I promise no last-minute bail. If I flake, I owe you hotpot for a week!"
A: "Deal! I'm holding you to that.

Ep.38 | It feels like the world is against me
Set the scene:
(中文）
“哎，我跟你说，我今天真是水逆。早上追公交车，就差那么两步，眼睁睁看着它开走了，结果等了二十分钟下一班，上班直接迟到。
这还不算，中午点外卖，我最爱的那家店居然休息！随便换了一家，难吃得要命，感觉钱都打水漂了。
下午更绝，电脑突然蓝屏，半天修不好，我今天要交的报告全在里面……现在只能硬着头皮跟领导解释。
我现在就盼着赶紧下班，回去点个香薰，躺平刷剧。今天这日子过得，跟演倒霉喜剧似的。”
（英文）
“Ugh, you won't believe the day I've had. It's like the universe is against me. This morning, I was chasing after my bus, missed it by literally two seconds, and just watched it drive away. Had to wait twenty minutes for the next one and walked into work late.
As if that wasn't enough, at lunch, the restaurant I was craving was randomly closed! I picked another place in a hurry, and the food was terrible. Total waste of money.
But the real kicker was this afternoon. My computer just crashed with the blue screen of death. I couldn't fix it for ages, and my report that's due today was stuck in there... Now I have to go explain this mess to my boss.
I'm just counting down the minutes till I can go home, light a scented candle, collapse on the sofa, and binge-watch something. Today feels like a bad sitcom episode.”
