Question 2

Maria: Do you care about your hairstyles?

Answer 2

Rory:
Well, I didn’t used to, but now I do quite a great deal. It’s kind of ironic, actually, because I’m having quite a bad hair day to day, literally speaking. But normally I do care about my hair styles. I think appearance is quite important for yourself and for the people around you. The first impression that you make on someone with your appearance really matters. That makes a difference.

Question 3

Maria: How often do you get your hair cut?

Answer 3

Rory:
Well, ironically, for someone who cares about their hair so much, I get it cut rather irregularly. I suppose, I want to get it cut once a month, but in reality, just because of my workload, it’s usually every two months, actually.

Ironically: بر خلاف انتظار

Question 4

Maria: Do you always have that kind of hair style?

Answer 4

Rory: What, you mean messy?

Maria: Yes.

Rory: No, it’s usually a lot nicer than this. I usually do something with my fringe. It’s been like that for years and years now. However, the quasi-side parting look that I’m going with now is the one that I like for now and indeed for the foreseeable future.

Fringe: زلف
quasi-side: کوازای ساید

Question 5

Maria: Was there a time that you felt disappointed in your hairstyle?

Answer 5

Rory:
Actually, I feel disappointed with it quite often, but I think that’s just a feature of when you have a haircut. Usually when I get my hair cut, I look at it and I think it’s too short.
But I know that over time it will grow in and then it will actually look how I intended it to. It’s just the intention of the barber or the hairdresser. That’s generally, but more specifically, there was a time when I shaved the sides of my head and I left my hair on top long and I looked quite _ridiculous. So I was a bit disappointed with that hairstyle. It wasn’t a good decision.

Quite often:
به دفعات، بارها، مکررا، بسیار زیاد

Question 6

Maria: Have you ever been given a haircut that you didn’t like?

Answer 6

Rory:
Well, I just mentioned one there, I suppose.
However, in addition to that, I also modeled ones. It’s not as glamorous as it sounds. I did it to help a friend who was becoming a hairdresser. But the way she cut my hair didn’t really add much to the outfit that she designed as well. So it was disappointing, but not seriously disappointing. It was just very strange.
