Jean: 下面这几个短句都是形容在一段感情刚开始时候的各种说法，只有一个例外。
InsertWe’re just friendsWe’re datingWe just broke upWe’re going outWe’re seeing each otherWe’re going steadyJean: 大家听到了吗？例外的那个说法是哪个？如果没听出来也没关系，我们待一会回给大家具体讲解的。那么现在，让我们先来听听节目开头时这一对儿Frankie和Rose的故事吧。
Finn: Yes, Frankie and Rose have been through all of the stages of love.
Let’s take them back to the start of their relationship and hear theirlove story.
InsertAnnouncer: Day one. Frankie and Rose have just met.
Frankie: I’ve just met this gorgeous girl. We’re just friends, but I’d like toask her out.
Jean: 在一开始刚认识的时候，他们两个是just friends。很简单的一个词组，不过我们经常能听到有人用它：只是朋友 just friends. 不过后来呢？Frankie不是打算要ask her out 不是约她出来吗？
InsertAnnouncer: Day three. Frankie and Rose have just had their first date.
Rose: This really cute guy asked me out. We went on a date to the zoo tosee gorillas. He loves gorillas. I think I’d like to see him again.
Frankie that is, not the gorilla. Or maybe the gorilla too?
Jean: Hmm… 认识的第三天，一切进展顺利。Rose 和Frankie一起去动物园看大猩猩gorillas. Rose对Frankie很有感觉。
InsertAnnouncer: Day ten. Frankie and Rose are at the zoo.
Frankie: (whispering but excited) I’m going to tell you quietly while Rosehas gone to buy an ice cream. We’re in the middle of our third date!
I guess you can say we’re dating now… I think she really lovescoming here to see my gorilla friends too!
Gorilla: Gorilla noise.
Jean: Frankie听上去很兴奋。他说他俩已经在约会了they’re dating.
Finn: Yes, it sounds like it’s going really well for them.
InsertAnnouncer: Day 26. Frankie and Rose are at the Formula One racetrack.
(Car noise)Rose: (shouting above car noise) Well you know, we’d been seeing eachother for a few weeks and finally we started going somewhereapart from the zoo. You know, I think you could say we’re goingout now.
Jean: 谁会想得到Rose 其实是个一级方程式赛车的爱好者Formula One fan? 但是不管怎么说，他们俩看来感情发展的很好，而且Rose自己已经承认they’re going out. 他俩已经是在拍拖了。
Finn: Yes, she used another phrase too: they’d been seeing each other.
Again, it’s a really simple phrase that we use often in English todescribe this stage of a relationship. To be seeing someone. I’mseeing this girl.
InsertAnnouncer: Day 50. Frankie and Rose are at the supermarket.
(Checkout noise)Frankie: Well guess what. We’re actually going steady. Rose has acceptedmy love for gorillas and I have grown to enjoy Formula One racing.
Rose, can you pick up another bunch of bananas for little Gordon?
Rose: Sure. There you are Gordon.
Gordon the Gorilla: Gorilla noise.
Jean: What a happy story. Frankie和Rose现在已经是在一个稳定的情侣关系中。Frankie 说到这个的时候呢，用到的说法是they’re going steady.
Finn: Congratulations to them. And I think they’ve even got a new friend,Gordon the baby Gorilla.
Gordon theGorilla: Gorilla noise.
Jean: 好了，这就是我们今天要给大家讲的袖珍爱情故事。我们祝愿他俩的感情能够一直顺利的发展下去。那么在今天的节目结束之前，让我们把刚才学到的几个词组和短语再来回顾一下。
Finn: Which one did we not hear Frankie or Rose use?
InsertWe’re just friendsWe’re datingWe just broke upWe’re going outWe’re seeing each otherWe’re going steadyJean: 大家听出来了吗？刚才Frankie 和 Rose 没有用到的唯一的一个短语就是wejust broke up. 我们两个刚分手了。希望Frankie和Rose 永远不会用到这个说法。
