安妮告诉史蒂文一个男人正在追求她，但她不知道她是否应该接受他的感情。
Steven: Annie, what is troubling you? You look unhappy.
Annie: Someone is pursuing me. He was my schoolmate in college, and he has been carrying a torch for me for three years.
Steven: Do you like him?
Annie: Yes, I do like him.
Steven: Then why are you hesitating?
Annie: You know that I have had a series of miserable relationships. Last summer, I fell in love with Joe. But the romance blossomed only for six or seven weeks, and then wilted.
Steven: As we all know, one love drives out another. You shouldn't be afraid to start a new relationship.
Annie: Maybe you are right.

史蒂文： 那你为什么还犹豫呢？
