A private conversation是一个英语短语，出自《新概念英语第二册》中的Lesson 1，译为私人谈话。

Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat.The play was very interesting. I did not enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it. I turned round again. 'I can't hear a word!' I said angrily.‘It’s none of your business,' the young man said rudely. 'This is a private conversation!'.

上星期我去看戏。我有一个很好的座位。那部戏很有趣。但我却无法欣赏。一青年男子与一青年女子坐在我的后面。大声地说着话。我非常生气。因为我听不见演员在说什么。我转过身来。我怒视着这个男人和女人。他们却毫不理会。最后我实在无法忍受了。我又转过身来。“我一个字也听不见了!”我生气地说。“这不关你的事。”这个青年粗鲁地说，“这是私人间的谈话!”
