A:Hi, Mr. Zhang. What’s wrong? You don’t look so happy. How was your date?
嗨,張先生。 你怎么啦?你看起來不是很高興。你的約會(huì)怎么樣?
B:I was turned down again. It’s frustrating. I guess you’ve got to teach me some skills.
又泡湯了。真令人喪氣。我猜你得多教我一些技巧。
A:Me? I’m even less experienced than you are.
我?我比你還沒經(jīng)驗(yàn)。
B:At least you know what American women generally like in a man.
至少你知道美國(guó)女人基本上喜歡男人的哪一點(diǎn)。
A:Believe it or not, I guess American women like a man in good shape, which Chinese women may not care about so much. That’s my honest opinion. I know you have been trying very hard.
信不信由你,我猜美國(guó)女人喜歡一個(gè)男人健壯,這點(diǎn)中國(guó)女人可能不會(huì)很計(jì)較。這是我很誠(chéng)懇的想法。我知道你一直在努力。
B:American men are naturally taller than Chinese men. So even if I exercise, there aren’t many chances.
美國(guó)男人生性就比中國(guó)男人高大。所以即使我鍛煉身體,也不會(huì)有很多機(jī)會(huì)。
A:No, that’s not true. I’ve met two American women who were married to Chinese. But those Chinese look very strong and healthy. So if you exercise more often, I bet it will surely be easier for you to date American girls. How old is Jacky Chan? He’s small and short. But I bet he can have any American woman he wants.
不,那也不對(duì)。我遇到過兩個(gè)美國(guó)女人嫁給了中國(guó)人。但是這些中國(guó)人看起來很強(qiáng)壯、健康。所以如果你鍛煉經(jīng)常一些,我猜你肯定會(huì)更容易交到美國(guó)女孩子。成龍多大歲數(shù)了?他體格矮小。但是我打賭他要任何一個(gè)美國(guó)女人都可以。
B:You know, that’s going to be a tremendous change for me. Because I never exercise.
你知道的,對(duì)我來說這將會(huì)是一個(gè)天翻地覆的變化。因?yàn)槲覐膩矶疾蛔鲞\(yùn)動(dòng)。
A:Why don’t you try then? Even if it doesn’t help you find an American girl, you could still have a stronger and healthier body. You won’t lose anything by doing that.
那你怎么不試試呢?即使它不能幫你找到一個(gè)美國(guó)女孩,你還可以擁有更加強(qiáng)壯、更加健康的體魄。這樣做你都不會(huì)有什么損失啦。
