当有两对一起出去时,我们称之为「两对式约会」,甚至朋友也会安排你不认识的人帮你相亲。所谓相亲(blind date)并不是指让你整晚都把眼睛蒙起来,而是一直要等到约会那天你才知道对象是谁。如果有人以任何一种方式约你,但你不想去,你只管礼貌地说:「谢谢你,我不去。」
Conversation II
会话二
Jeff: Hi, Tanya! Boy, it's freezing today, isn't it?
杰夫:嗨!田雅,老天!今天真冷啊!
Tanya: You're not kidding! I'm glad I'm wearing a hat and gloves!
田雅:你说得没错,我真庆幸戴了帽子和手套!
Jeff: Yeah, you look warm all bundled up like that. Say, I was wondering, would you like to go to the Valentine's banquet with me next week?
杰夫:是啊!你裹得那样看起来很暖和。我在想你下星期要不要和我去参加情人节的宴会?
Tanya: Well, I really don't think I can. I have other plans. Thanks for asking, though.
田雅:我想我真得没办法去,我有另外的计划,不过还是谢谢你的邀请。
Jeff: That's O.K. Maybe some other time.
杰夫:没关系,以后还有机会!
Tanya: Yeah. Well, here comes my bus. See you later!
田雅:啊!我的车来了,再见!
Americans view dating differently from people in other cultures. American young people see a date as a time just to have fun. They don't always have a romantic interest in mind. Someone may go out with one person this week, and another person the next. After a while, a boy and a girl may decide they want to "go steady." This means they think of each other as "boyfriend and girlfriend." It also means they don't want to date anyone else. Romance is beginning to bloom.
