A: The 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。

B: Does 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?

A: He 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。

B: But 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?

A: Yes, I did. He only takes side with him. He seldom asks what Dick is doing.

对，我是这样说的。不过他只是偏袒迪克，而很少过问他在干什么。
