和老外聊天的地道口語第35期:我想追求她的...

B: it's a lovely day, isn't it?

L: yeah, and most excitingly, I met the girl living under me today. She's really nice.

B: is she American?

L: yeah, and most importantly, she's single! Man, I could tell from the moment I saw her, she's the girl of my dreams!

B: so I take it you two are hitting it off? I know it's very convenient to be in a Relationship with your neighbor, but what if you break up?

L: I don't know. I am not really worried about that. I don't wanna lose before even starting. Besides I think the other two American guys have also fallen for her.

B: sounds like you've got some competition. You made a move already?

L: not yet. But I am thinking of inviting her to dinner sometime. I know some good restaurants nearby.

B: that's nice. Having been here a little while surely gives you the advantage, eh?

L: you bet. Now that you mentioned it, I think I'll call her now and see if she is available tonight.

B: good luck!

L: thanks!


今天天氣不錯,是吧?
嗯,而且令人激動的是,我今天見到了樓下的女孩!我覺得她人很好.
她是美國人嗎?
是的.關鍵是,她還是單身!天啊,我第一眼看到她時,就知道她是我夢中期待的女孩.
你不是說你愛上她了吧?我知道和鄰居談戀愛很方便,可是萬一你們兩個分手了怎麼辦?
不知道,我倒不擔心這個,我不想還沒開始就放棄,而且我覺得還有2個美國人對她也有意思.
聽起來競爭還挺激烈的.你開始採取行動了嗎?
還沒有.我在想哪天請她吃個飯,周圍有家不錯的餐館.
不錯,先來這裏確實有好處哈?
那當然了.不過既然你提了,我就現在給她打個電話吧,看看她今天晚上有沒有時間.
祝你好運!
希望如此,謝謝你!
