近日，网红Sumner Stroh自曝曾与Maroon 5乐队主唱Adam Levine有染，称Adam在结婚期间和她约会了近一年，并且透露他最近发私信她问是否可以接受他给第三个孩子取名Sumner，前提是儿子。

先看一下他们辣眼睛的聊天记录吧！

当一个男人被此类消息“缠身”的时候，除了沉默，就是出来澄清一下。但其可信度有多少呢？也许只有老天知道！

接下来， 我们从语言学习的心态来看一下Adam的回复：

Following allegations that he cheated on wife Behati Prinsloo and wanted to name their child after his alleged mistress, Adam Levine is speaking out.

在被指背叛他的妻子Behati Prinsloo，并想用他情妇的名字命名他们的孩子后，Adam终于发声了！

首先来一个开场白：

A lot is being said about me right now and I want to clear the air.

关于我的事情被谈论了很多，现在我想出来澄清一下。

clear the air 除了有“使空气清新”的意思外，它还有“消除怨恨、隔阂以及误解”的意思。

接下来就是否定：

I did not have an affair, nevertheless, I crossed the line during a regrettable period in my life.

我没有婚外情，然而，我在生命中一段令人遗憾的时期越过了界限。

have an affair：有婚外情、有暧昧关系

She's having an affair with a married man.

她和一个有妇之夫私通。

The book doesn't make any mention of his love affairs.

这本书没有提及他的种种风流韵事。

最后再表表忠心：

"My wife and my family is all I care about in this world. To be this naive and stupid enough to risk the only thing that truly matters to me was the greatest mistake I could ever make," he wrote. "I will never make it again. I take full responsibility. We will get through it. And we will get through it together."

在这个世界上，我只关心我的妻子和家人。如此天真和愚蠢到冒着对我唯一真正重要的事情的风险，这是我可能犯的最大错误。我再也不这么做了。我承担全部责任，我们会渡过难关的。我们会一起渡过难关的。

It matters to me = 这对于我来说很重要

I take full responsibility = 我承担全部责任

而这个事情的女主角Summer 曾在社交媒体上这么说：

"At the time, I was young, I was naive and, quite frankly, I feel exploited," 

However, Stroh does not consider herself the victim of the situation. “I’m not the one getting hurt in this. It’s Behati and her children,” Stroh says. “And for that, I’m so, so sorry.” 

她说自己不是这个事情的受害者，Adam的妻子和孩子才是。

关于这个事儿，你怎么看？
