　　K: That's wonderful! Julie is a great woman, and you're a great guy! So have you asked her out yet?

　　D: No. I'm not really sure it's appropriate.

　　日常英语情景对话背景：King正在给Dan讲自己最近的一次旅行，他们回家路上车胎爆了(We got a flat tire)，正说得高兴，King发现Dan基础没在听自己谈话。Dan很不善意思，否定他走神了(I spaced out for a second)，space out 是“走神”的意思，形容“心不在焉”，“走神”还可能用daydream来表示, 所以刚才那句话也可以说“I was daydreaming for a second.”

　　而后King发现，Dan走神是在看女同事Julie。 Dan只好否认说“I'm busted. I have a big crush on Julie”。“I'm busted”意思是“被抓住了，被发明了，袒露了”。他说自己确实在偷偷喜好Julie，但又不敢ask her out(约她出去)，不知道这样做是否合适。

　　K: I think lots of people meet their "significant other" in the workplace. It's not like she's your boss...go ask her out!

　　D: I don't know...what if she says 'no?'

　　K: Have you ever heard the old expression: "Nothing ventured, nothing gained?" What if she says 'yes?'

　　D: I've always had a really hard time approaching women. I get tongue-tied and start sweating. I don't want to come across as too aggressive, but I also don't want to appear too passive...It's really hard to get it right!

　　King说，很多人都是在工作场所遇到自己另一半的，significant other是“伴侣”的意思，也能够说是自己的better half。Dan害怕被谢绝，King告知他说Nothing ventured, nothing gained(不去冒险尝试，就绝不会有收获)。Dan说本人在追女人方面特别不在行，I get tongue-tied and start sweating(我谈话会结结巴巴，直冒冷汗)。Dan还说，既不想显得太自动，也不想显得太被动，It's really hard to get it right(很难控制好分寸)。 英语之家www.yingyuzhijia.com

　　K: If there's one thing I've learned in my life it's that you never lose by trying. You never know unless you try! Getting rejected isn't the end the world!

　　D: But how do I make the initial approach? Should I try to come up with some clever or witty remarks? 英语之家www.yingyuzhijia.com

　　K: There are a lot of guys out there who think they're Casanova, but in my experience, women don't go for cheesy pickup lines. I suggest being sweet, straightforward and sincere. 英语之家www.yingyuzhijia.com

　　D: So what should I say? 英语之家www.yingyuzhijia.com

　　King说尝试一下(约Julie出去)也不会有什么损失，最蹩脚也不过是被拒绝。日常英语情景对话注意Dan问，要不要come up with some clever or witty remark(想出一些俏皮话)，King告诉他，约女人出去，单刀直入些就好，women don't go for cheesy pickup lines(女人对俏皮的搭讪并不买账)。Dan会鼓起勇气约Julie出去吗?请连续关注咱们的书面语栏目来找出答案吧!
