一天,豆豆向Peter哭诉说被老板骂了,
Peter拍了拍豆豆的肩膀就说了2字:
There, there.
豆豆想:真是损友,
我都这么伤心了,还让我看那里,那里

There, there在口语中用法
There, there(中间有逗号)
在口语中其实是用来“安慰人”的
used to tell someone not to be worried or unhappy
相当于中文里的:
好啦,好啦。
没事, 没事。
-There, there. I'll give you a treat.
好啦,好啦。我今天好好犒赏你一下。
-There, there. Don't cry. Your makeup is all messed up.
没事,没事。别哭了。你的妆都花了。
