George: Hey, Crystal, I need some advice yo!

喬治：嗨，克里斯托爾，我需要你的建議！

Crystal: What's up, George?

克里斯托爾：什麼事，喬治？

George: So, there's this like red-headed girl in class and I kind of got a crush on her but ...

喬治：我喜歡班裏的一個紅髮女孩，可是……

Crystal: Oooh!

克里斯托爾：哦！

George: Uuurr! But, yeah, I don't know, you know, how to ask her out. I don't even know if she knows my name, but yeah.

喬治：嗯！可是我不知道怎麼約她出去。我甚至都不知道她知不知道我的名字。

Crystal: Ah, come on!

克里斯托爾：不是吧！

George: You got any advice?

喬治：你有什麼建議嗎？

Crystal: I would personally just be natural and just go straight-forward?

克里斯托爾：我個人建議你自然些，直接些。

George: Go straight-forward and ...

喬治：直接……

Crystal: And ask her out?

克里斯托爾：約她出去？

George: How I do that?

喬治：我要怎麼做？

Crystal: I don't know. For my personal advice I think you should just go straight forward and say "Hi, my name is George" and give her an appearance.

克里斯托爾：我也不知道。我個人建議你直接說，“你好，我叫喬治”，讓她認識你。

George: Hold on. I'm gonna write this down.

喬治：等一下。我要把這個記下來。

Crystal: OK. And next step is "If you are free" oh, you always have to check if she's either married, or if she's a lesbian, or if she is single.

克里斯托爾：好，接下來，你要問“你有空嗎”，對了，你還要確認一下她是否已婚，或者她是不是女同性戀，還有她是不是單身。

George: OK.

喬治：好。

Crystal: So, number three is what you're looking for.

克里斯托爾：第三步就是你要約她了。

George: OK, number three.

喬治：好，第三步。

Crystal: So, if she is single, just say, hey, how about we go out for a cup of coffee or something.

克里斯托爾：如果她是單身，你可以說，嘿，我們去喝杯咖啡怎麼樣。

George: OK, coffee.

喬治：好，咖啡。

Crystal: And, yeah, that's how you get her.

克里斯托爾：好，這樣你就能約她出去了。

George: So, yeah, what if she doesn't like coffee though? I mean, what else could we do we on a date? Assuming she will say yes. What's fun to do on a date anyway?

喬治：那她要不喜歡喝咖啡怎麼辦？除了喝咖啡，約會還能做什麼？假設她說好的話，約會的時候還能做什麼有趣的事？

Crystal: Fun to do on a date! It's just the fact that you're being with her and just try to get to know her more.

克里斯托爾：約會時有趣的事！就是你和她在一起，努力地去了解她。

George: Wait, wait, wait one second. Do I need to pay for this?

喬治：等等，等等，等一下。約會時我要買單嗎？

Crystal: I don't think you should pay on the first date. I think sometimes that can be offensive to women.

克里斯托爾：我想第一次約會你不必買單。有時這對女性來說是種冒犯。

George: Oh, that's great because I'm totally broke.

喬治：哦，那太好了，因爲我基本上沒什麼錢了。

Crystal: I think you should just ask her casually, not like a date-date, just say, Hey, I would like to know you a little bit more, and just go out for a small little drink, like go to that new cafe that's open, like a lot of girls think that place is so cute. I think you should take her there.

克里斯托爾：我想你約她的時候應該自然些，不是那種正式的約會，你可以說，“嘿，我想多瞭解你一些，”你可以約她去喝點東西，可以去那家新開的咖啡廳，許多女孩覺得那家店很可愛。我想你可以帶她去那兒。

George: But I think cafe's are boring.

喬治：可是我覺得咖啡廳很無聊。

Crystal: Cafe's are boring. Men! Women don't think so. This is the point. Write it down.

克里斯托爾：咖啡廳很無聊。那是男生的想法！女生可不這麼想。這是重點。寫下來吧。

George: All right.

喬治：好。
