英语PK台 第146期:那些男孩女孩的小心思(2)

 Dialogue 2

Xiao Gao: Now that you told me what girls look for in their boy friends,do you know what guys want their girlfriends to be like?

小高：你刚刚已经告诉了我女孩子们想要她们的男朋友怎么样，你想知道男生们希望他们的女朋友什么样吗？

Jingjing: Besides being smoking hot? I can't think of anything.

京晶：除了特别漂亮之外，我想不到其他的。

Xiao Gao: Actually, being attractive isn't the most important thing that a guy looks for in a girlfriend.

小高：其实长得漂亮并不是男生找女朋友最看重的事情。

Jingjing: Well then… spit it out, tell me what guys think are important characteristics.

京晶：那……你就快告诉我吧，究竟男生最看重的特质是什么？

Xiao Gao: Guys can't stand it when girls nag¹ at them, so they shouldn't make too many unreasonable² requests.

小高：女生向男生抱怨时候，男生会受不了的，所以女生不应该提太多的无理要求。

Jingjing: Hey! Not all girls run their mouths! What else do you look for?

京晶：嘿，并不是所有女孩都是大嘴巴！你还看重什么呢？

Xiao Gao: Well, I personally like girls who have a sense of humor. If agirl can't be funny every now and then, then the relationship will become boring.

小高：就个人来说，我喜欢有幽默感的女孩。如果女孩子不能时不时地幽默一下，那么谈恋爱就会很无趣。

Jingjing: What kinds of things can girls do that really stoke your fire?

京晶：女孩子做什么样的事情会让你心动呢？

Xiao Gao: The most romantic thing a girl can do is to say something specific about a man, for example: “I love the way you make me laugh” trumps³“You are great”.

小高：女孩子能做到最浪漫的事就是具体地称赞男朋友的一个细节。比如，说“我爱你能让我开怀大笑的方式” 就比仅仅说“你太好了”强多了。

Jingjing: Wow, I never realized your were so nitpicky, Xiao Gao.

京晶：哦，小高，我从没有意识到你这么挑剔。

Xiao Gao: Yeah, well, there's a lot of things you don't know about me!

小高：哈哈，还有很多关于我的事你不知道呢！
