和老外聊天的地道口語第8期:我很想追她!

C: how's it going?
N: I'm in a good mood today, actually. How about you?
C: to be honest, I'm a bit fed up.
N: what's wrong?
C: there's a girl in my company that I really like but I always get shy when she is around.
N: I see! Do you want to ask her out?
C: sure, but how?
N: you can ask her out for drink after work.
C: but for what reasons? She doesn't even know who I am.
N: then you've got a lot of homework to do. You need to get her notice first.
C: easier said than done.
N: you can start by meeting her at the bus stop and saying hello to her.
C: but I always get tongue-tied when I see her.
N: that's something you need to overcome. Men should make the first move as most of girls perfer being chased.
C: I see. I'll try.
N: good luck!

最近怎麼樣？
事實上，我今天心情很好，你呢？
說實話，我有點煩。
怎麼了？
我很喜歡我們公司的一個女孩，但是我一看見她就不好意思。
這樣啊，你想約她出去嗎？
當然啦，但是怎麼約啊？
你可以約她下班後一起喝東西。
但是找什麼理由啊？她都不知道我是誰。
那你要做的事情可就多了，你要先引起她的注意。
說起來容易。
你可以先在公交車站偶遇她，然後和她搭訕。
但是我一見到她，就不知道說什麼。
那你一定要克服這個毛病。男士要主動，女孩子喜歡被追啊。
知道了。我試試吧。
祝你好運。
