  Jason,我的问题可能很傻,可那是我今天想聊的话题。

  B:Don't beat around the bush. What's your question?

  别拐弯抹角的。什么问题?

  A:Well you know, when a boy dates a girl, do they have sex on their first date?

  A:The what?

  什么过程?

  B:The courtship. That's the whole dating period. Some people do not want to settle down. They like to play the field. But if the right person comes along,there's a possibility of a lasting relationship forming.

  恋爱过程,那是只整个的约会过程。有些人不想定下来,他们只想玩玩而已,不过要是有合适的人的话,他们也会谈持久的恋爱。

  B:A 2-timer. That must be the one you're looking for.

  用情不专。你肯定是在找这个词。

  A:How do you spell that?

  怎么写的?

  B:T W O T I M E R

  T W O T I M E R

  A:Got it. Thanks, buddy.

  知道了,谢了,哥们儿。

  B:You bet.

  没什么。

  Attention Please…特别提醒

  [你可以请外教反复帮你模仿/训练下面句子/词组的正宗美式发音]

  [1] Don't beat around the bush.别拐弯抹角的。老外们似乎不太会拐弯抹角,他们通常比较直接{straight},有时呢就显得有点冒失了{out-spoken}。

  [2]They like to play the field.他们不喜欢做出承诺。Field的一个意思是阵地。Hold the field就是"守住阵地"那play the field就是"不对….做出承诺"。那种不喜欢承诺的人叫field-player.

  Related Words…相关词汇

  以下这些词并未给出汉语意思,你可以试着用我们学到的英语问问外教它们的意思

  [ ie:What does "***"mean?"***"是什么意思?]

  sugar daddy sugar mommy womanizer modelizer gold digger

  注:书中对话仅作参考,重要的是拿起电话,就自己喜欢的内容与老外反复练习。轻易不出口,出口必砸人。
