英文原版对话1000个:1003 Displays of Affection

 　　Cheryl: So, Nick, let's talk about touching¹ and holding hands and physical touch with your significant other. Do you and your partner hold hands when you go out in the street?

 

　　Nick: We hold hands all the time. Initially², we ... when we first went out, holding hands was the first thing we did, and then progressively moved on from there to kissing, but holding hands was certainly the first thing we did in our relationship.

 

　　Cheryl: Do you remember when you first tried to hold her hand, or did she try to hold your hand first?

 

　　Nick: I made the first move. We were sitting on the couch watching a movie, and I was getting a bit nervous, and I couldn't quite concentrate on the movie, so I moved my hand over to hers, and she reciprocated³, and it moved on from there, so ...

 

　　Cheryl: You know, that's funny that you bring that up because on of the most common moves that is made fun of in movies as well is when the guy takes a big yawn, a fake yawn, and he opens his arms wide and places it around the girl's shoulder, and thus embraces her, but he had to do it because he yawned.

 

　　Nick: My experience, like my first hug was like that as well, so it was just a bit of an excuse for us reaching for something, and then suddenly my hand went around, and she didn't mind so.

 

　　Cheryl: That's very good. And what about kissing? Do you kiss a lot in public, in the streets?

 

　　Nick: Rarely in public, cause we find it makes other people uncomfortable.

 

　　Cheryl: Yeah, that's true. I find that when I see couples kissing, or making out in public, I usually think to myself, Why don't you get a room?

 

　　Nick: Yeah, you don't want to see that. You just want to be having a conversation with them or ... you don't want them to be constantly distracted.
