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?我比你還沒經驗。

B：At least you know what American women generally like in a man.

至少你知道美國女人基本上喜歡男人的哪一點。

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，我猜美國女人喜歡一個男人健壯，這點中國女人可能不會很計較。這是我很誠懇的想法。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.

美國男人生性就比中國男人高大。所以即使我鍛煉身體，也不會有很多機會。

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。我遇到過兩個美國女人嫁給了中國人。但是這些中國人看起來很強壯、健康。所以如果你鍛煉經常一些，我猜你肯定會更容易交到美國女孩子。成龍多大歲數了?他體格矮小。但是我打賭他要任何一個美國女人都可以。

B：You know, that’s going to be a tremendous change for me. Because I never exercise.

你知道的，對我來說這將會是一個天翻地覆的變化。因為我從來都不做運動。

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美國女孩，你還可以擁有更加強壯、更加健康的體魄。這樣做你都不會有什么損失啦。
