先生，您还要再来一杯吗？
xiānsheng, nín hái yào zài lái yì bēi ma?
Sir, would you like another drink?
Z
对，再来一杯威士忌，谢谢。
duì, zài lái yì bēi wēishìjì, xièxie.
Yeah, another whiskey, thanks.
L
不好意思，我看您今晚已经喝得不少了。
bùhǎoyìsi, wǒ kàn nín jīnwǎn yǐjīng hē de bù shǎo le.
Sorry, but I think you've already had quite a lot to drink tonight.
Z
没事，我酒量好着呢，再喝一杯没问题。
méishì, wǒ jiǔliàng hǎo zhe ne, zài hē yì bēi méi wèntí.
It's fine, I can really hold my liquor, one more is no problem.
L
我明白，可是您说话都有点儿含糊了，还是慢点儿喝吧。
wǒ míngbai, kěshì nín shuōhuà dōu yǒudiǎnr hánhu le, háishì màn diǎnr hē ba.
I understand, but your speech is already a bit slurred; you'd better slow down.
Z
有那么严重吗？我感觉自己还挺清醒的。
yǒu nàme yánzhòng ma? wǒ gǎnjué zìjǐ hái tǐng qīngxǐng de.
Is it that serious? I feel pretty sober actually.
L
相信我，喝多了的人都这么说。您先喝杯水，休息一下吧。
xiāngxìn wǒ, hē duō le de rén dōu zhème shuō. nín xiān hē bēi shuǐ, xiūxi yíxià ba.
Trust me, everyone who's had too much says that. Have a glass of water first and take a break.
Z
好吧，那来杯水吧。其实我今天心情不太好。
hǎo ba, nà lái bēi shuǐ ba. qíshí wǒ jīntiān xīnqíng bú tài hǎo.
Fine, then give me a glass of water. Honestly, I'm in a bad mood today.
L
我看得出来。不过借酒消愁解决不了问题，反而伤身体。
wǒ kàn de chūlái. búguò jiè jiǔ xiāo chóu jiějué bùliǎo wèntí, fǎn'ér shāng shēntǐ.
I can tell. But drowning your sorrows in alcohol won't solve anything—it just hurts your health.
Z
你说得对，可能我真的该回家了。
nǐ shuō de duì, kěnéng wǒ zhēn de gāi huí jiā le.
You're right. Maybe I really should head home.
L
这样最好。您千万别自己开车，我帮您叫辆车吧。
zhèyàng zuì hǎo. nín qiānwàn bié zìjǐ kāichē, wǒ bāng nín jiào liàng chē ba.
That's for the best. Whatever you do, don't drive yourself—let me call you a car.
Z
那就麻烦你了，太谢谢你了。
nà jiù máfan nǐ le, tài xièxie nǐ le.
Then I'll trouble you—thank you so much.
