和老外聊天的地道口语第8期:我很想追她!

C: how's it going?
N: I'm in a good mood today, actually. How about you?
C: to be honest, I'm a bit fed up.
N: what's wrong?
C: there's a girl in my company that I really like but I always get shy when she is around.
N: I see! Do you want to ask her out?
C: sure, but how?
N: you can ask her out for drink after work.
C: but for what reasons? She doesn't even know who I am.
N: then you've got a lot of homework to do. You need to get her notice first.
C: easier said than done.
N: you can start by meeting her at the bus stop and saying hello to her.
C: but I always get tongue-tied when I see her.
N: that's something you need to overcome. Men should make the first move as most of girls perfer being chased.
C: I see. I'll try.
N: good luck!

最近怎么样？
事实上，我今天心情很好，你呢？
说实话，我有点烦。
怎么了？
我很喜欢我们公司的一个女孩，但是我一看见她就不好意思。
这样啊，你想约她出去吗？
当然啦，但是怎么约啊？
你可以约她下班后一起喝东西。
但是找什么理由啊？她都不知道我是谁。
那你要做的事情可就多了，你要先引起她的注意。
说起来容易。
你可以先在公交车站偶遇她，然后和她搭讪。
但是我一见到她，就不知道说什么。
那你一定要克服这个毛病。男士要主动，女孩子喜欢被追啊。
知道了。我试试吧。
祝你好运。
