K- whew. Now that that's done, onto the more important business. What we doing this weekend?

L- Wait. WE? 我们？我们是什么意思？我呢，要去听爵士音乐会，你呢？我就不太清楚了….

K- Ha. As if youd get away from me. So…any cute guys? Eh?

L- NO.

K- Come on.

{L- NO.

K- Well I'm sure there's at least ONE!}

L- Actually, there are a couple of guys. 不过你最好离他们远点，都是危险的大众情人型!

 

K-大众情人? What does that mean?

L- um…you know , 就是所有女孩都追着的那种！

K- Ohh… I think we say that guy is a "lady killer" in English. Some guy who's really good looking and women just THROW themselves at them. Yeah. No thanks. I'll pass. （standing up）

L- Yeah, I feel the same way. 看看还可以，做男朋友太没安全感了。

K- Exactly. I made the mistake of dating this guy once- totally handsome, totally high maintenance.

L- wait- high maintenance?

K- Like you, you know. Hard to satisfy, really needy³, always moody⁴. If I already work with you, why do I need one of them?

L- Too bad. It's not up to you! 那你想找个什么样的呀？

K- Now see, I have PLANS for my next guy. He'll be tall, dark, handsome, loves hiking, listens to punk. Has a thing for radio hosts.

L- （to another camera她又做梦啦！）

K-What's your type?

​​L-那肯定是高富帅嘛！ 什么都得听我的，长的嘛，就像阿信！

K- Yeah right, 阿信 is totally out of your league. He is too good for you, you have no chance of getting with him.
