乔治：嗨，克里斯托尔，我需要你的建议！Crystal: What's up, George?
克里斯托尔：什么事，乔治？George: So, there's this like red-headed girl in class and I kind of got a crush on her but ...
乔治：我喜欢班里的一个红发女孩，可是……
Crystal: Oooh!
克里斯托尔：哦！George: Uuurr! But, yeah, I don't know, you know, how to ask her out. I don't even know if she knows my name, but yeah.
乔治：嗯！可是我不知道怎么约她出去。我甚至都不知道她知不知道我的名字。Crystal: Ah, come on!
克里斯托尔：不是吧！George: You got any advice?
乔治：你有什么建议吗？Crystal: I would personally just be natural and just go straight-forward?
克里斯托尔：我个人建议你自然些，直接些。George: Go straight-forward and ...
乔治：直接……Crystal: And ask her out?
克里斯托尔：约她出去？George: How I do that?
乔治：我要怎么做？Crystal: I don't know. For my personal advice I think you should just go straight forward and say "Hi, my name is George" and give her an appearance.
克里斯托尔：我也不知道。我个人建议你直接说，“你好，我叫乔治”，让她认识你。George: Hold on. I'm gonna write this down.
乔治：等一下。我要把这个记下来。Crystal: OK. And next step is "If you are free" oh, you always have to check if she's either married, or if she's a lesbian, or if she is single.
克里斯托尔：好，接下来，你要问“你有空吗”，对了，你还要确认一下她是否已婚，或者她是不是女同性恋，还有她是不是单身。George: OK.
乔治：好。Crystal: So, number three is what you're looking for.
克里斯托尔：第三步就是你要约她了。George: OK, number three.
乔治：好，第三步。Crystal: So, if she is single, just say, hey, how about we go out for a cup of coffee or something.
克里斯托尔：如果她是单身，你可以说，嘿，我们去喝杯咖啡怎么样。George: OK, coffee.
乔治：好，咖啡。Crystal: And, yeah, that's how you get her.
克里斯托尔：好，这样你就能约她出去了。George: So, yeah, what if she doesn't like coffee though? I mean, what else could we do we on a date? Assuming she will say yes. What's fun to do on a date anyway?
乔治：那她要不喜欢喝咖啡怎么办？除了喝咖啡，约会还能做什么？假设她说好的话，约会的时候还能做什么有趣的事？Crystal: Fun to do on a date! It's just the fact that you're being with her and just try to get to know her more.
克里斯托尔：约会时有趣的事！就是你和她在一起，努力地去了解她。George: Wait, wait, wait one second. Do I need to pay for this?
乔治：等等，等等，等一下。约会时我要买单吗？Crystal: I don't think you should pay on the first date. I think sometimes that can be offensive to women.
克里斯托尔：我想第一次约会你不必买单。有时这对女性来说是种冒犯。George: Oh, that's great because I'm totally broke.
乔治：哦，那太好了，因为我基本上没什么钱了。Crystal: I think you should just ask her casually, not like a date-date, just say, Hey, I would like to know you a little bit more, and just go out for a small little drink, like go to that new cafe that's open, like a lot of girls think that place is so cute. I think you should take her there.
克里斯托尔：我想你约她的时候应该自然些，不是那种正式的约会，你可以说，“嘿，我想多了解你一些，”你可以约她去喝点东西，可以去那家新开的咖啡厅，许多女孩觉得那家店很可爱。我想你可以带她去那儿。George: But I think cafe's are boring.
乔治：可是我觉得咖啡厅很无聊。Crystal: Cafe's are boring. Men! Women don't think so. This is the point. Write it down.
克里斯托尔：咖啡厅很无聊。那是男生的想法！女生可不这么想。这是重点。写下来吧。George: All right.
乔治：好。
