地道美语听力播客:Dating Someone's Ex

Marco: Hello.

Claudia: Hey, Marco? It's Claudia. Got¹ a minute?

Marco: Sure. What's up?

Claudia: I'm just wondering² what's going³ on with you and Beth. Are you guys⁴ still going out?

Marco: We went out for a while⁵, but we never got serious⁶. Why all the questions? Are you interested⁷ in Beth?

Claudia: (Laughs) No, I'm not interested but Shane is. He's been asking me about you guys. He wants to ask her out but he didn't know whether⁸ you guys were still together, or how you‚Äôd feel about him asking out your ex.

Marco: Why didn't he just ask me? Beth and I were casual⁹ and we haven't seen¹⁰ each other in months. He should go for it.

Claudia: Okay¹¹, I'll tell him. So, if you're not going out with Beth, who's the new girl?

Marco: Wouldn't you like to know. Actually¹², I've been seeing a great girl. I'm bringing her to the party on Saturday. You'll meet her then.

Claudia: Great. I'm bringing Lenny so you'll get to meet him, too. See you Saturday.

Marco: See ya.
