和老外聊天的地道口语第5期:网络情缘

L: you are dressed to kill. You look gorgeous¹, Alexander.
A: thanks. This is my power suit. I have a dinner date tonight.
L: how did you meet each other?
A: she's a friend of Amy. We met at Amy's birthday party.
L: is this your first date?
A: yes. I hope it pans out. Cross your fingers, Lily.
L: sure it will. Oh, no, it's seven fifteen already. I'm going to be late for my date.
A: oh…so you buried the hatchet² with Steven?
L: absolutely not! He's a cheater. I will never talk to him again. I'm over with him. He's history!
A: then who will you meet tonight?
L: a guy I met on the internet three month ago.
A: really? Are you sure this is a good idea?
L: please don't be so fussy³! I didn't just meet him yesterday.
A: I know, but remember to meet in a public place and don't give out your personal information.
