Ed: THERE you are! I was beginning to worry.
Kristie: Hey, Ed! Sorry about that. I got caught in the rain.
Ed: No worries. It’s pretty 1)brutal out there. It’s so good to see you! How’ve you been?
Kristie: ①I’ve had better days.
Ed: Uh, oh. Wanna talk it out?
Kristie: I’d rather not.
Ed: Don’t be such a 2)grumpy face! Come on, spill the beans. Don’t hold anything back.
Kristie: Well, if you insist… You see, it’s my boyfriend, Rob. I feel like something has come between us.
Ed: A problem of the heart! Don’t worry, the love doctor is here! Kristie: The love doctor? Is that what you call yourself?
Ed: Why not? There’s no love problem I can’t solve! No case is too big or too small!
Kristie: Whatever.
Ed: ②It’s time to get to the bottom of this. Let’s start at the beginning. When did you first know there was a problem?
Kristie: This morning, when he sent me an angry text.
Ed: ③What was he worked up about?
Kristie: I dunno. All it said was, “It seems like you don’t care anymore.”
① I’ve had better days. 我倒霉透了。
I’ve had better days: an expression used to complain about the present, same as “I’m not having a good day.”（用以表示对目前状态不满的表达方式，等同于“I’m not have a good day.”）。例如：
—How are you these days?
最近怎么样？
—I’ve had better days.
不咋的。
② It’s time to get to the bottom of this. 是时候弄清楚原因了。
get to the bottom of sth.: find out the real cause/answer of sth.（探明真相，弄清起因）。例如：
There is obviously something wrong with the high turnover rate, and I wanna get to the bottom of it.
人员流动性这么大，显然是有问题的，我要探个究竟。
③ What was he worked up about? 他因为什么事情生气？
work (oneself) up: to make oneself
excited or upset（兴奋；生气）。例如：
You’ve worked yourself up just because you got a B on chemistry?
你这么不高兴就因为化学得了个“良”？
④ Peace out! 再见！
peace out: good-bye（再见）。例如：
—So I’ll see you tonight at seven.
那我们今晚七点见吧。
—Peace out!
再见！
