Rescuing a Fellow Dater in Need

　　解救正在约会的女士

　　我在结束一次商业会谈后，就曾碰到这样一位广东人，喜欢吹捧自己多有魅力，多么有钱。

　　I always date men who are older(很多女孩子都喜欢成熟一点的男士). Unfortunately, my friends disapprove of this, so one time they set me up with a "guy my own age(和我一样年纪的男人)." But all this supposedly mature date could talk about was how special he was, how many women he had "tamed"(驯服) (no joke) and how much money he made. After two hours I ended up calling a friend for a ride(便车)home.

　　Two weeks later, I saw the same guyshavingsdinner in a restaurant with another woman. He was wearing the same suit, the same fake gold chains, and his new date looked as bored as I had been on our date! Even though I didn't know her, I had to rescue her. So I marched(步行，靠近) to their table, took her hand and told her I missed hanging out with her. Then, I asked if she wanted to leave with me! When she said she missed me too, the look on his face was priceless(可以翻译成：他的表情真是太滑稽了).The best part is that woman and I are still good friends, 15 years later.

　　Brian小结：

　　1.Could you just take me a ride/hitch to the university, you know, my autocycle is run out of fuel.

　　你能载我一段么，我摩托车没油了。

　　2.All he could talk about was how special he was, how many women he had tamed and how much money he made.

　　他所能谈到的就是自己有多么特别，以前曾征服过多少过女人，赚了多少钱。
