trust/信任/ (xìnrèn)

A: What do you think about the trust between two people in an intimate romance?

你怎么定义亲密恋爱中两个人之间的"信任"呢?

(nǐ  zěnme dìnɡyì qīnmì liànài zhōnɡ liǎnɡɡè rén zhījiān de "xìnrèn" ne?)

B: As I see it, this issue includes a lot of factors.  

在我看来,这个问题包含很多因素。

(zài wǒ kànlái, zhèɡè wèntí bāohán hěnduō yīnsù.)

A: Tell me about it.

那你说说看吧。

(nànǐ shuōshuō kàn bā.)

B: I feel that trust in an intimate relationship is based on an adequate feeling of security, belief in the relationship and respect for individuality between two people. 

我觉得亲密关系中的信任是基于两方都有足够的安全感,对关系的信心,以及尊重自我的意识。

(wǒ juédé qīnmì ɡuānxì zhōnɡ de xìnrèn shì jīyú liǎnɡfānɡ dōuyǒu zúɡòu de ānquánɡǎn, duì ɡuānxì de xìnxīn, yǐjí zūnzhònɡ zìwǒ de yìshí.)

A: How should this be understood? 

这应该怎么理解呢?

(zhè yīnɡɡāi zěnme lǐjiě ne?)

B: When you have confidence in a relationship, you won't have a feeling of loss. Also, when you don't see someone as belonging to you, this is respect for individuality.  

当你对一段关系自信的时候就不会有过多患得患失的感觉。并且当你不觉得对方属于你的时候,这是一种对自我意识的尊重。

(dānɡnǐ duì yīduàn ɡuānxì zìxìn de shíhòu jiù bùhuì yǒu ɡuòduō huàndéhuànshī de ɡǎnjué.bìnɡqiě dānɡnǐ bùjuédé duìfānɡ shǔyú nǐ de shíhòu, zhèshì yīzhǒnɡ duì zìwǒyìshí de zūnzhònɡ.)

A: You're right. I definitely have trust issues.  

说的没错,我确实会有信任问题。 

(shuōde méicuò, wǒ quèshí huì yǒu xìnrèn wèntí.)
