我，和男朋友分手了，安慰我，我简直痛彻心扉！啊，连呼吸都痛。
wǒ ，hé nán péngyou fēnshǒu le ，ānwèi wǒ ，wǒ jiǎnzhí tòngchèxīnfēi ！ā ，lián hūxī dōu tòng 。
I split up with my boyfriend, comfort me. I feel like my heart is breaking! Ah, it even hurts to breathe.
你们不是都一直都打情骂俏的嘛，到处撒狗粮这怎么就分手了呢，根据我对你的了解，一定是你作的吧？早提醒你了，小作怡情，大作伤身。

Aren't you two always bantering back and forth? With all the PDA all over the place how did you end up splitting up? Knowing you, I'll bet it was you that did it, no? I've told you before, a bit of banter is par for the course, but hen-pecking when it gets out of control will get you burned.
是的，你说的都对，我已生无可恋，可不就是被我自己给作死的。我觉得男朋友，啊不，前男友，内心一定也是崩溃的。

Yeah, you're right about it all. I'll never know love again, but I dug my own grave. I think my boyfriend, eh... ex-boyfriend, must be distraught.
到底怎么了？说出来让我高兴高兴，啊不对，让我给分析分析。
dàodǐ zěnmele ？shuō chūlai ràng wǒ gāoxìng gāoxìng ，ā bù duì ，ràng wǒ gěi fēnxi fēnxi 。
What in god's name happened? Out with it, amuse me. Eh... rather, let me help you analyze.
