004A美语三级跳：恋爱(初级课程)

Professor: Kevin and Emily are friends. They have come home from college for the holiday, and are talking about their relationships at school.

两个好朋友放假时聚在一起，当然得聊聊各自的感情生活了，快听听吧!

Emily: Hi Kevin, how was your year at college?

Kevin: It was great! How was your year?

Emily: It was good. Do you have a girlfriend at school?

Kevin: Yes, I'm dating someone. Her name is Amanda.

怪不得Kevin在大学里过得这么高兴，原来是交了女朋友!

Professor: That's right, Winnie. If you have a boyfriend or a girlfriend, you can say that you're dating someone.

哦， 如果我有男朋友，就可以说"I have a boyfriend"或者说"I'm dating someone"。那我现在没有男朋友，该怎么说呢？

Professor: Then you can say that "I'm single."

哦，"I'm single"就是说我没恋爱，还是只身一人。

Professor: That's right, Winnie. Now let's hear how Kevin met his girlfriend.

Emily: How did you meet your girlfriend?

Kevin: I met Amanda through a friend.

Emily: That's great. Did you start dating right after you met, or did you become friends first?

Kevin: We started dating right away.

Professor: Winnie, did you hear where Kevin met his girlfriend?

他们是通过朋友介绍认识的，而且立刻开始约会! 不知道他们交往多久了。

Professor: Well, let's listen and find out!

Emily: When did you and Amanda meet each other?

Kevin: I met her about one year ago.

Emily: So you met her right after you got to school?

Kevin: That's right. We've been dating since last September.

他们俩人从去年九月开始约会，这么说他们在一起一年了! 看起来他们对这份感情还挺认真的。

Professor: That's right, Winnie. They sound like a serious couple.

像Kevin这样专一的男生现在可不多了，不知道怎样才能找到这么好的男生。

Emily: So you said you and Amanda met through a mutual friend. How did it happen?

Kevin: Well, my roommate was friends with Amanda, so he introduced us.

Emily: Did he tell you what she was like first?

Kevin: Yes, he described her to me, and she sounded like my type.

Professor Bowman, Kevin说Amanda听起来是他的"type," 这是什么意思?

Professor: Your "type" is the kind of person that you like to date.

哦，原来your type就是你喜欢的那种人。Kevin的室友一跟Kevin描述Amanda, Kevin就觉得，这个女孩正是他心目中的理想女友!

Emily: So Kevin, what is your type?

Kevin: I like girls who like to have fun, and aren't too serious.

Emily: I agree. I like guys that can make me laugh.

Kevin: That's true. Having a very serious boyfriend or girlfriend can be boring.

其实Kevin和Emily听上去倒是挺班配的。

Professor: Yes, they both like people who like to have fun and make them laugh.

Kevin跟Amanda交往那么久，两人一定很合得来，就是不知道是不是一见钟情。

Professor: Let's listen and find out.

Emily: How did you first meet?

Kevin: My roommate invited both of us to dinner.

Emily: Was it love at first sight? Did you fall in love with her the first time you met her?

Kevin: Yes! The first time I saw her I knew we would fall in love.

果然是一见钟情! 好浪漫哦! 不过，还多亏了Kevin室友这个月下佬帮忙!

Professor: That's true, Winnie! Match people are important! Do you know computers now can work as match makers?

哦， 您说的是专门替人找对象的网站吧! 的确，很多人现在用这种online dating来寻找伴侣，只要在电脑上输入your "type", 电脑就会帮你找到你的另一半。不过真交往起来并不一定合适。

Professor: That's true. Winnie, we've heard a lot about Kevin's relationship. Now let's find out about Emily.

Kevin: What about you, Emily? Have you dated anyone recently?

Emily: I started to date someone recently, but it didn't work out.

Kevin: That's too bad. What happened?

Emily: Well ... that's a long story.

唉， 可怜的Emily，最近交了个男朋友，可后来却分手了。怎么会这样呢？

Professor: Let's listen next time and find out!
