小對話：

A: Poor Bill, he’s been in love with this girl for at least a year but he doesn’t get to first base with her. He can’t even get her to go out and have a cup of coffee with him. You are his friend, and you’re popular among girls. Give him some tips.

可憐的比爾，他和這個(gè)女孩談戀愛至少已經(jīng)一年了，可是他同她連親密的關(guān)系都沒有，甚至他都未能邀請她出去同他喝杯咖啡。 你是他的朋友，又這么有女生緣。給他點(diǎn)兒指導(dǎo)吧。

B: He’s hopeless. I’ve told him to be more powerful with his girlfriend. But he’s born to be meek.

他沒希望了。我已經(jīng)告訴他和女生在一起必須強(qiáng)勢一些。可他天生是個(gè)沒骨氣的。
