A: You're still using my coffee mug without asking? That's the third time this week!

B: Seriously? Don't be so petty. It's just a mug; I'll wash it and put it back.

A: It's not about the mug, it's about respect! You never consider how I feel.

翻译:

A: 你還在沒問過我就用我的咖啡杯?這已經是這週第三次了!

B: 不是吧?別這麼斤斤計較。只是一個杯子而已,我會洗乾淨放回去的。

A: 這不是杯子的問題,是尊重的問題!你從來不考慮我的感受。
