他可能是工作或者其他事情压力太大了。你知道的，他的工作的确很烦人。

是的，但是他总是心情很糟糕。我试着弄清楚他在烦什么，或是找他谈谈他的一天。但是他总是闭口不言，然后对我不理不睬。

B: Men are like that you know. They can feel nervous, anxious or on edge and the only way they can express it is by trying to hide it through aggressiveness. 

你知道的，男人都那样。他们会紧张，焦虑或是烦躁不安。而他们唯一的发泄方式就是通过攻击性的言语来试图掩盖。

A: I guess you're right. What do you think I should do? He wasn't always this grouchy, you know.

你真是与众不同，你知道吗？
