时间：2019-02-02 作者：英语课 分类：地道美语播客
Romeo: What do you plan to do?
Juliette: I don’t know! I can’t defy my parents. They’ve been against our relationship from the start, and I’ve been forbidden to see you.
Romeo: It’s your life, not theirs. It’s time you stood up to them and told them what you want. I’m tired of being a puppet in the feud 1 between your family and mine.
Juliette: That’s easy to say, but I can’t confront my father and tell him that I want to be with you. It would kill him!
Romeo: No, it won’t. He’s using guilt 2 to get you to give me up. Don’t let him manipulate you that way.
Juliette: This is tearing me apart. I can’t take it much longer.
Romeo: You won’t have to. I’m leaving—without you.
Juliette: No! You can’t. I can’t live without you.
Romeo: Someday, we’ll be together...Cut! Where is the director? This is supposed to be the story about star-crossed lovers, not a trashy melodrama 3. Whoever wrote this trash should be fired!
