礼节美语 Business Etiquette 238-crush-on-a-co-worker-2(在线收听

   Dan偷偷喜欢女同事Julie. King给他打气,鼓励他约Julie出去。

  Dan问:So what should I say?
  King: Tell the truth! Say, "Hi Julie, I was wondering if you'd be interested in going out this Saturday? I know a great sushi place."
  D: Just like that? Don't you think I'll scare her?
  K: Both you and Julie are adults, and that's the way adults communicate with each other. If you're worried about being too direct, you should make it a group event and invite her along.
  D: The whole process just seems so scary.
  K: You know what's really scary? The idea that two people might be perfect for each other, but they're too afraid to talk to each other...now that's a frightening thought. What a waste!
  D: That's a good point.
  King建议Dan直截了当,约Julie出去吃饭,但如果Dan不想过于直接的话,可以 make it a group event and invite her along 组织一次集体活动,邀请Julie一起去。King 还鼓励Dan说,如果两个人原本珠联璧合 perfect for each other, 但却因为彼此不敢主动去跟对方搭讪而擦肩而过,那才是最可怕的。What a waste! 太可惜了。King 接着说,
  K: What's the worst thing that could happen?
  D: She rejects me.
  K: And is that so bad?
  D: No, I guess not. How do you meet your wife anyway?
  K: I walked up to her on a subway car and said, "Hi, I'm King. What's your name?" Three years later we were married.
  D: Wow! All right...I'm going to do it. I'm going to ask her out.
  K: Well, here's your chance. She's started walking this way. Go for it!
  如果Dan约Julie出去,最糟糕的结果也不过是遭到拒绝。King现身说法,说当年他就是在地铁上遇到自己太太的,他走上前去自我介绍,三年后两人就结婚了。Dan终于鼓起勇气,决定要约Julie出去,正说着,Julie走了过来,Here is his chance. 他的机会来了。我们一起听Dan是怎么说的。
  D: Hey, Julie.
  J: Hi Dan. How are you doing?
  D: I'm good, thanks! Say, a couple of us are thinking about having dinner and maybe going to a Karaoke bar this Saturday night. Are you free to join us?
  J: Sure! I'd love to. What time should I meet you?
  D: How about 7:30?
  J: Great! I'll see you then. Have a nice day, Dan! Bye!
  D: You too! See you on Saturday!
  K: See? That wasn't so hard, was it?
  D: That was amazing! I'm totally on cloud nine right now! Thanks, dude!
  K: No problem, and I hope it woks out for the two of you.
  D: It's really true: "Nothing ventured, nothing gained!"
  K: You got it!
  Dan跟Julie说,办公室几个人星期六晚上打算一起出去吃饭,吃完饭去唱卡拉OK,问Julie想不想一起去,Julie欣然接受。Dan说,I'm totally on cloud nine. 我实在是太高兴了。King说,I hope it works out for the two of you. 意思是祝 Dan和Julie好运,能交往愉快。
