Jingjing: Xiao Gao, how's everything going with you and Jennifer?

京晶：小高，你和珍妮弗最近怎么样？

Xiao Gao: I'm not sure, she seems pretty happy, but she never says what's on her mind, so I don't know if she's really happy or not.

小高：我也不知道，她看起来挺高兴的，但是她从来不说自己到底在想什么，所以我也不知道她是不是真的开心。

Jingjing: Well, if she seems happy, then she probably is happy, just leave it at that. Girls don't want to be read like a book.

京晶：如果她看起来很开心，那么她很可能确实很开心。就这么简单。女孩子不喜欢自己的心思被人家轻易看穿。

Xiao Gao: Since you're a girl, can you give me some pointers on what girls want from a guy?

小高：既然你是一个女孩，你能不能给我一些小的提示，女孩子到底想要男生怎么做？

Jingjing: For starters, you should be a man of your word and always tell the truth.

京晶：首先你必须遵守承诺，而且决不能说谎。

Xiao Gao: I know that, anything else?

小高：嗯，这个我知道，其他的呢？

Jingjing: Also, girls don't like it if their boyfriends have too many friends who are girls.

京晶：还有，女孩子不希望自己的男朋友有太多的女性朋友。

Xiao Gao: But I'm a people person and have lots of friends, both guys and girls!

小高：但是我是一个人缘很好的人，我有很多朋友，男的女的都有！

Jingjing: Maybe you should cut back on spending time with other girls.

京晶：那么你应该减少和其他女孩儿相处的时间。

Xiao Gao: There's no way I could do that! Are you crazy?

小高：这怎么可能！你疯了吗？

Jingjing: Hey, you're the one who asked me for advice, remember? Besides,put yourself in her shoes, how would you feel if she had a lot of guy friends?

京晶：嘿，是你问我要建议的，你忘了吗？况且，换个立场来看，如果她有很多的男性朋友你会怎么想？

Xiao Gao: Yeah, you're right, I never thought about that… Okay, I'll be quiet now.

小高：嗯，你说得对，我从没想过这回事，好吧，我收回之前的话。
