74.摩登約會

常用應急場景

范例一：Three minutes date 3分鐘約會

What upsets you? 什么事讓你這么苦惱?

My parents called. As usual, they reminded me again that I should have a plan to marry by my late 20s.

我父母的電話。像往常一樣，他們又提醒我，我應該計劃在30歲之前結婚。

Easier set than done. 說來容易做來難。

Who should I marry? I have no time to go on a date.

我應該跟誰結婚?我都沒有時間去約會。

It is not your mother finding one for you?

不是你媽媽幫你找嗎?

I will find one myself, of course. I’m a modern girl.

我自己找，當然，我是一個摩登女孩。

Perhaps you can try the three minutes date, the latest type.

或者你可以嘗試一下三分鐘約會，最新的那種約會方式。

You mean dozens of the opposite sex meet each other for three minutes in a dimly bar serving alcohol, I hate that idea.

你是指很多異性在一個昏暗的酒吧相見。我討厭那樣的做法。

No, there is an updated version, three minutes video date. I know an online dating website providing such service with a microphone and webcam, you can sigh for it. You can be face-to-face with a guy talking for maximum three minutes.

不，有一種最新的形式，三分鐘視頻約會。我知道一個網上約會網站提供了這樣的服務，還配有一個麥克風和攝像頭，你可以去注冊。你最多可以和一個家伙面對面交流3分鐘。

I don’t think it makes sense. Three minutes is such a short time.

我不覺得這樣做有意義。3分鐘時如此短的一段時間。

I think you can find out if there is a possibility of romance within the first second of meeting someone, so-called love at first sight.

我想你就能知道是否有可能和某個人相見一兩次就戀愛，也就是所謂的一見鐘情。

Anyway, I don’t want to post my face up for sale on the internet like that.

無論如何，我不想像那樣把我的臉放在網上銷售。

Don’t worry. There are many other options using the internet as dating methods. Some sites operate at international standard even have got certifications.

別擔心。有很多其它使用互聯網約會的方法。一些網站按照國際標準運作，甚至獲得證書。

Of course, for these sites, you have to pay a membership fee. But all in all, it is more serious and professional. The chance of meeting a good and serious person who does not play games is higher.

當然，你必須交會員費給這些網站。但是，總而言之，這樣更嚴格和專業(yè)。遇到一個又好又認真，不是玩玩的人的機會更高。

I don’t want to post my personal information on the internet. I’m not knowing who is reading it.

我不想把我的個人信息放到網上去。我不知道誰會去看這些信息。
