15．Are Americans Romantic
美國人浪漫嗎

A: You know, I really don’t think Americans are very romantic.
我認為美國人并不很浪漫。

B: Where did you get that idea?
　你怎么會有這種想法?

A: That’s the impression I get from the movies, and from looking around. Men and women seem very businesslike in their relations with each other.
　我是從看電影和對周圍事物的觀察而得到這個結論的。男女間的關系似乎很實際。

B: Well, I’m still not sure what you’re asking me.
我還是不太明白你說的是什么。

A: Is it true or isn’t it?
你說是對還是不對呢？

B: Do you want to know something about the American character?
　你想不想了解一下美國人的性格?

A: I just think you’re trying to change the subject. But go ahead.
　我看你是想改變話題吧。好了，說吧。

B: No, this will help answer your question. In American society boys and girls are raised together. They’re not segregated in their activities! Boys and girls go out together from an early age.
不，這有助于回答你的問題。在美國社會里，男孩和女孩是在一起長大的。他們在活動中，并不加以隔離。美國的男孩和女孩從小就可以一塊出去玩。

A: OK, go on.
是，繼續(xù)說。

B: After being raised together, men and women can be businesslike in each other’s company. It really doesn’t have anything to do with the way a man and woman behave toward each other when they are in love. Does that answer your question?
等到他們一起長大成人后，男女之間在工作中的關系就會處理得條理分明，但這和他們在戀愛中的表現(xiàn)是沒有一點關系的。這個答案你滿意了吧?

A: Not exactly, but I see your point.
還好。不過我明白你的意思。

B: I think Americans are pretty romantic when they are in a relationship and a lot of flirting goes on in every office. After you’ve been in America for a while, you will probably see what I mean.
我覺得美國人戀愛起來挺浪漫的，甚至在辦公室也有很多調情的場面。等你在美國呆久了，就會明白我的意思了。

額外成就感

go ahead 向前
* Go straight ahead.
一直向前走。
* Go ahead, we’re all ears.
講吧，我們都聽著呢。

A: I was thinking about taking an English course this summer.
我今年夏天想上個英語班。
B: Go ahead, I think that’s a great idea.
去吧，是個好主意。
