I just ran across this little conversation guide written by Kenneth M. Gibson.
| She says | English |
|---|---|
| We need | I want |
| It's your decision | The correct decision should be obvious by now |
| Do what you want | You'll pay for this later |
| We need to talk | I need to complain |
| Sure... go ahead | I don't want you to. |
| I'm not upset | Of course I'm upset, you moron. |
| You're... so manly | You need a shave and you sweat a lot. |
| You're certainly attentive tonight. | Is sex all you ever think about? |
| I'm not emotional! And I'm not overreacting! | I have PMS. |
| Be romantic, turn out the lights. | I have flabby thighs. |
| This kitchen is so inconvenient. | I want a new house. |
| I want new curtains | and carpeting, furniture, wallpaper... |
| Hang the picture there | No, I mean hang it there! |
| I heard a noise | I noticed you were almost asleep. |
| Do you love me? | I'm going to ask for something expensive. |
| How much do you love me? | I did something today you're really not going to like... |
| I'll be ready in a minute. | Kick off your shoes and find a good game on T.V. |
| Is my butt fat? | Tell me I'm beautiful. |
| You have to learn to communicate. | Just agree with me. |
| Are you listening to me!? | (Translation irrelevant. At this point you're a dead man.) |
| Yes | No |
| No | No |
| Maybe | No |
| I'm sorry. | You'll be sorry. |
| Do you like this recipe? | It's easy to fix, so you'd better get get used to it. |
| In answer to the question "What's wrong?" | |
| The same old thing. | Nothing. |
| Nothing. | Everything. |
| Everything. | My PMS is acting up. |
| Nothing, really. | It's just that you're such a jerk. |
| I don't want to talk about it. | Go away, I'm still building up evidence against you. |
