Sympathetic, Kind and Nice - English false friends

We had a big phone bill last month. Oh really? Why?

Ens va venir una factura de telèfon grossa el mes passat. Ah sí? Per què?

I sat on my phone and it called China. That stinks. How much was it?

Em vaig asseure damunt del mòbil i vaig trucar a la Xina. Ostres! Quant et va costar?

Six hundred dollars. What? That's awful. What a bummer!

Sis-cents dòlars. Què? Això és horrible. Quina merda!

Sympathetic and nice. What's the difference? Ashley's got a bad cold. Oh you poor thing.

"Sympathetic" i "nice". Quina és la diferència? L' Ashley té un fort refredat. Oh, pobreta meva.

Someone who's sympathetic understands other people's feelings, especially their problems.

Algú que sigui "sympathetic" entén els sentiments dels altres, especialment els seus problemes.
