kiara_sage asks:

kiara_sage问道：

"I have a crush on my older brother's friend. What do I do?"

“我喜欢上了我哥哥的朋友。我该怎么办？”

Find another guy. You know? There's more guys out there.

再找一个吧。你知道，好男人还有很多。

I think you should use a little restraint and look elsewhere.

我认为你应该克制一些，看看别的地方。

You can never date your brother's friend. That's the Golden Rule because then you're gonna ruin their friendship-stay away from it.

你永远不能和哥哥的朋友约会。这是黄金定律，因为你可能会毁了他们的友情，所以不要交往。

I wouldn't want to jeopardize¹ you and your brother's relationship over a random² person. If it's his really good friend, sometimes that can offend people, so I wouldn't pursue it.

我不想你和你哥哥的关系因为一个不重要的人被破坏。如果那是他非常好的朋友，这可能会得罪人，所以我不会去追求这份感情。

Wait it off. Wait till you're older. Focus on school.

等待。等你长大些再说。现在把注意力放在学习上。

Take it easy. See what happens. Give yourself time. If it's meant to be, it'll happen.

顺其自然。看看会发生什么。给自己点儿时间。如果这是注定的，那你们一定会在一起。

It matters how big the age difference is. If it's only a couple years, go talk to him.

重要的是你们的年龄差距有多大。如果只差几岁，那就去和他谈谈。

Kinda, snuggle up to the guy a little bit and put on that extra-good perfume and let him know that, "Hey, you're pretty interesting."

喷上不错的香水，依偎在他身旁，让他知道，“嘿，你很有魅力。”

Just do it. Just tell him you like him, and just see what happens.

勇敢追求你的爱情吧。告诉他你喜欢他，看看会发生什么。

Try to talk to your older brother's friend and keep it a secret from your brother.

尝试和你哥哥的朋友谈一下，要对你的哥哥保密。

I feel like if you have an older brother, there's gonna be the hot friends. Your brother's not gonna approve, like ever, so if you want it to happen, you're gonna have to keep it low key.

我认为如果你有个哥哥，那一定会有热辣的朋友。你哥哥是不会同意的，如果你想和他交往，那你就要保持低调。

First, you probably should talk to your older brother about it, and then, eh, he can like, he can suck it up. Just go date him.

首先，你应该和你的哥哥谈谈，他知道以后可能会默许。然后你就可以和那个人约会了。

If you really like him, I guess get dressed like you're older and see if you can get him! (chuckles) That's what I used to do.

如果你真的喜欢他，我想你应该打扮成你哥哥的样子，看看能不能得到他的爱！（咯咯地笑）我曾经这么做过。
