David：Computer games? 电脑游戏?

You：Yeah, computer games. I like to sit behind my boyfriend and watch him play on the computer because I like to watch others play computer games. 是的，电脑游戏。我喜欢看人家玩电脑游戏，所以我喜欢坐在我男朋友后边看他玩。

David：你对你男朋友蛮忠的嘛!

You：No, it isn’t loyalty. We just share a common interest. 这不是忠不忠的问题，我们只是有相同的兴趣爱好罢了。
