Une dispute à propos d’argent

阿明

大卫，有件事我想跟你说一下。

Dàwèi, (fourth tone, falling) yǒu (third tone, dipping) jiàn (fourth tone, falling) shì (fourth tone, falling) wǒ (third tone, dipping) xiǎng (third tone, dipping) gēn (first tone, high and level) nǐ (third tone, dipping) shuō (first tone, high and level) yíxià. (second tone, rising)

David, il y a quelque chose dont je voudrais te parler.

大卫

你说吧，什么事？

Nǐ (third tone, dipping) shuō (first tone, high and level) ba, (neutral tone) shénme (second tone, rising) shì? (fourth tone, falling)

Vas-y, de quoi s’agit-il ?

阿明

两个月以前，你跟我借了八百块，记得吗？

Liǎng (third tone, dipping) ge (neutral tone) yuè (fourth tone, falling) yǐqián, (third tone, dipping) nǐ (third tone, dipping) gēn (first tone, high and level) wǒ (third tone, dipping) jiè (fourth tone, falling) le (neutral tone) bābǎi (first tone, high and level) kuài, (fourth tone, falling) jìde (fourth tone, falling) ma? (neutral tone)

Il y a deux mois, tu m’as emprunté huit cents yuans. Tu t’en souviens ?

大卫

记得啊。怎么了？

Jìde (fourth tone, falling) a. (neutral tone) Zěnme (third tone, dipping) le? (neutral tone)

Bien sûr. Pourquoi ?

阿明

我下个月要回家，机票有点儿贵，所以……

Wǒ (third tone, dipping) xià (fourth tone, falling) ge (neutral tone) yuè (fourth tone, falling) yào (fourth tone, falling) huí (second tone, rising) jiā, (first tone, high and level) jīpiào (first tone, high and level) yǒudiǎnr (third tone, dipping) guì, (fourth tone, falling) suǒyǐ…… (third tone, dipping)

Je rentre chez moi le mois prochain et le billet coûte assez cher, alors…

大卫

你怎么现在才说？我以为你不着急。

Nǐ (third tone, dipping) zěnme (third tone, dipping) xiànzài (fourth tone, falling) cái (second tone, rising) shuō? (first tone, high and level) Wǒ (third tone, dipping) yǐwéi (third tone, dipping) nǐ (third tone, dipping) bù (fourth tone, falling) zháojí. (second tone, rising)

Pourquoi me le dis-tu seulement maintenant ? Je croyais que tu n’étais pas pressé.

阿明

我提过一次，你可能忘了。

Wǒ (third tone, dipping) tí (second tone, rising) guo (neutral tone) yí (second tone, rising) cì, (fourth tone, falling) nǐ (third tone, dipping) kěnéng (third tone, dipping) wàng (fourth tone, falling) le. (neutral tone)

Je t’en ai parlé une fois ; tu as dû l’oublier.

大卫

真的吗？我一点儿也想不起来。

Zhēn (first tone, high and level) de (neutral tone) ma? (neutral tone) Wǒ (third tone, dipping) yìdiǎnr (fourth tone, falling) yě (third tone, dipping) xiǎng (third tone, dipping) bu (neutral tone) qǐlái. (third tone, dipping)

Vraiment ? Je n’en ai pas le moindre souvenir.

阿明

那天在超市，我说了机票的事，你说“知道了”。

Nà (fourth tone, falling) tiān (first tone, high and level) zài (fourth tone, falling) chāoshì, (first tone, high and level) wǒ (third tone, dipping) shuō (first tone, high and level) le (neutral tone) jīpiào (first tone, high and level) de (neutral tone) shì, (fourth tone, falling) nǐ (third tone, dipping) shuō (first tone, high and level) “zhīdào (first tone, high and level) le”. (neutral tone)

Ce jour-là au supermarché, j’ai parlé du billet et tu as répondu : « D’accord. »

大卫

好像是有这么一次。对不起，我最近事情太多了。

Hǎoxiàng (third tone, dipping) shì (fourth tone, falling) yǒu (third tone, dipping) zhème (fourth tone, falling) yí (second tone, rising) cì. (fourth tone, falling) Duìbuqǐ, (fourth tone, falling) wǒ (third tone, dipping) zuìjìn (fourth tone, falling) shìqing (fourth tone, falling) tài (fourth tone, falling) duō (first tone, high and level) le. (neutral tone)

Il y a peut-être bien eu un moment comme ça. Désolé, j’ai eu énormément à faire ces temps-ci.

阿明

我不是生气，我只是有点儿着急。

Wǒ (third tone, dipping) bú (second tone, rising) shì (fourth tone, falling) shēngqì, (first tone, high and level) wǒ (third tone, dipping) zhǐshì (third tone, dipping) yǒudiǎnr (third tone, dipping) zháojí. (second tone, rising)

Je ne suis pas fâché, je suis seulement un peu pressé.

大卫

我明白。你现在就要用钱吗？

Wǒ (third tone, dipping) míngbai. (second tone, rising) Nǐ (third tone, dipping) xiànzài (fourth tone, falling) jiù (fourth tone, falling) yào (fourth tone, falling) yòng (fourth tone, falling) qián (second tone, rising) ma? (neutral tone)

Je comprends. Tu en as besoin tout de suite ?

阿明

是的。我要先给钱，才能拿到票。

Shì (fourth tone, falling) de. (neutral tone) Wǒ (third tone, dipping) yào (fourth tone, falling) xiān (first tone, high and level) gěi (third tone, dipping) qián, (second tone, rising) cái (second tone, rising) néng (second tone, rising) ná (second tone, rising) dào (fourth tone, falling) piào. (fourth tone, falling)

Oui. Je dois payer avant de pouvoir obtenir le billet.

大卫

其实上个月我给你买过两次饭，我以为那也算还了一点儿。

Qíshí (second tone, rising) shàng (fourth tone, falling) ge (neutral tone) yuè (fourth tone, falling) wǒ (third tone, dipping) gěi (third tone, dipping) nǐ (third tone, dipping) mǎi (third tone, dipping) guo (neutral tone) liǎng (third tone, dipping) cì (fourth tone, falling) fàn, (fourth tone, falling) wǒ (third tone, dipping) yǐwéi (third tone, dipping) nà (fourth tone, falling) yě (third tone, dipping) suàn (fourth tone, falling) huán (second tone, rising) le (neutral tone) yìdiǎnr. (fourth tone, falling)

En fait, je t’ai payé deux repas le mois dernier ; je pensais que cela comptait comme un remboursement partiel.

阿明

两次饭一共才八十块，跟八百块不一样。

Liǎng (third tone, dipping) cì (fourth tone, falling) fàn (fourth tone, falling) yígòng (second tone, rising) cái (second tone, rising) bāshí (first tone, high and level) kuài, (fourth tone, falling) gēn (first tone, high and level) bābǎi (first tone, high and level) kuài (fourth tone, falling) bù (fourth tone, falling) yíyàng. (second tone, rising)

Deux repas font quatre-vingts yuans en tout : ce n’est pas la même chose que huit cents.

大卫

你说得对。是我想得太简单了，真不好意思。

Nǐ (third tone, dipping) shuō (first tone, high and level) de (neutral tone) duì. (fourth tone, falling) Shì (fourth tone, falling) wǒ (third tone, dipping) xiǎng (third tone, dipping) de (neutral tone) tài (fourth tone, falling) jiǎndān (third tone, dipping) le, (neutral tone) zhēn (first tone, high and level) bù (fourth tone, falling) hǎoyìsi. (third tone, dipping)

Tu as raison. J’ai raisonné trop légèrement. Je suis vraiment désolé.

阿明

我们是好朋友，钱的事说清楚更好。

Wǒmen (third tone, dipping) shì (fourth tone, falling) hǎo (third tone, dipping) péngyou, (second tone, rising) qián (second tone, rising) de (neutral tone) shì (fourth tone, falling) shuō (first tone, high and level) qīngchu (first tone, high and level) gèng (fourth tone, falling) hǎo. (third tone, dipping)

Nous sommes de bons amis : mieux vaut parler d’argent clairement.

大卫

对。我现在能先还你四百，下个月十五号发工资，我再还你四百。

Duì. (fourth tone, falling) Wǒ (third tone, dipping) xiànzài (fourth tone, falling) néng (second tone, rising) xiān (first tone, high and level) huán (second tone, rising) nǐ (third tone, dipping) sìbǎi, (fourth tone, falling) xià (fourth tone, falling) ge (neutral tone) yuè (fourth tone, falling) shíwǔ (second tone, rising) hào (fourth tone, falling) fā (first tone, high and level) gōngzī, (first tone, high and level) wǒ (third tone, dipping) zài (fourth tone, falling) huán (second tone, rising) nǐ (third tone, dipping) sìbǎi. (fourth tone, falling)

D’accord. Je peux te rendre quatre cents tout de suite, et les quatre cents restants le quinze, jour de paie.

阿明

可以，这样就行了。

Kěyǐ, (third tone, dipping) zhèyàng (fourth tone, falling) jiù (fourth tone, falling) xíng (second tone, rising) le. (neutral tone)

C’est bon, cela me va.

大卫

我现在就用手机给你转过去。

Wǒ (third tone, dipping) xiànzài (fourth tone, falling) jiù (fourth tone, falling) yòng (fourth tone, falling) shǒujī (third tone, dipping) gěi (third tone, dipping) nǐ (third tone, dipping) zhuǎn (third tone, dipping) guòqù. (fourth tone, falling)

Je te fais le virement depuis mon téléphone tout de suite.

阿明

好。以后我们借钱都写下来，好吗？这样谁也不会忘。

Hǎo. (third tone, dipping) Yǐhòu (third tone, dipping) wǒmen (third tone, dipping) jiè (fourth tone, falling) qián (second tone, rising) dōu (first tone, high and level) xiě (third tone, dipping) xiàlái, (fourth tone, falling) hǎo (third tone, dipping) ma? (neutral tone) Zhèyàng (fourth tone, falling) shéi (second tone, rising) yě (third tone, dipping) bú (second tone, rising) huì (fourth tone, falling) wàng. (fourth tone, falling)

Parfait. À l’avenir, notons ce que nous nous prêtons : ainsi, personne n’oubliera.

大卫

应该的。真抱歉，是我的问题。

Yīnggāi (first tone, high and level) de. (neutral tone) Zhēn (first tone, high and level) bàoqiàn, (fourth tone, falling) shì (fourth tone, falling) wǒ (third tone, dipping) de (neutral tone) wèntí. (fourth tone, falling)

Il le faut. Je suis vraiment désolé, c’est ma faute.

阿明

没关系，说清楚就好了。

Méi (second tone, rising) guānxi, (first tone, high and level) shuō (first tone, high and level) qīngchu (first tone, high and level) jiù (fourth tone, falling) hǎo (third tone, dipping) le. (neutral tone)

Ce n’est rien : dès lors que c’est dit clairement, tout va bien.

大卫

谢谢你告诉我。以后有什么事，你一定要早点儿说。

Xièxie (fourth tone, falling) nǐ (third tone, dipping) gàosu (fourth tone, falling) wǒ. (third tone, dipping) Yǐhòu (third tone, dipping) yǒu (third tone, dipping) shénme (second tone, rising) shì, (fourth tone, falling) nǐ (third tone, dipping) yídìng (second tone, rising) yào (fourth tone, falling) zǎo (third tone, dipping) diǎnr (third tone, dipping) shuō. (first tone, high and level)

Merci de m’en avoir parlé. La prochaine fois, dis-le-moi plus tôt.
