趣味英语第146期:个子矮的我怎么邀请高个女孩出去约会

Ollie Clint wants to know...

奥利·克林特想知道：

"How can I ask out a girl that is tall when I'm short?"

“我很矮，我怎么能约高个女孩出去约会？”

Oh man. I'm short too. It's okay.

天哪。我也矮。那不是问题。

Be brave. Don't just be shy to do it.

勇敢些。约她时不要害羞。

You just ask them out. That's all you do. If you're afraid, you're a chicken. (hissing)

直接约她们就好。那就是你需要做的事。如果你害怕，你就是胆小鬼。（嘶嘶声）

Look up and say, "Hi, would you please date me?"

抬起头问她，“嗨，你可以和我约会吗？”

You can do it when you're on steps so you're gonna be taller than she.

你可以站在台阶上约她，这样你就比她高了。

Get a ladder, and then you climb the ladder so that you're taller than this girl. And then a nice deep manly¹ voice as you're taking charge of the situation. Just say, "Hey, baby. Pick you up at 8."

找个梯子，然后爬到梯子上，这样你就比那个女孩高了。在你掌控局面以后，用深沉且富有男子气概的声音邀请她。你只要直接说，“嘿，宝贝。我今晚8点来接你。”

I have this problem so much 'cause I'm 5'6". You know those shoes from the '70s movies, where they have the water with the fish in the bottom and they add, like, 6 inches? Wear one of those. She'll be like, "Whoa, that dude's tall." And she'll totally go out with you.

这个问题也经常困扰我，因为我的身高只有5英尺6英寸。你知道70年代的电影里穿的那些鞋吗，他们把水和鱼放在鞋底，这样会增加大概6英寸的身高。穿那种鞋。她会说，“哇哦，那个男人真高。”然后她肯定会和你去约会的。

That doesn't really matter, you know? It's all about the personality². It has nothing to do with how tall or short anybody is.

那真的不重要，你知道吗？重要的是性格。与两个人是高还是矮无关。

A lot of women love short guys, so I wouldn't even question it.

许多女性喜欢矮个男生，我甚至不会问这个问题。

Not all girls care. Just go ahead and ask. And maybe she'll surprise you and say, "Yes, I want to go out with you, 'cause you are such a nice guy. I don't care that you're short."

不是所有女生都介意身高。你直接去约她就好。也许她会感到吃惊，然后说，“好，我想和你去约会，因为你人很好。我不介意你矮这件事。”

It may look a bit awkward³ at first. But I think it's the taller, the shorter, the better, you know? The cuter couple you'll be.

一开始可能看起来有些尴尬。但是我认为一个人高，另一个人矮，这样更好，你知道吗？你们会成为可爱的情侣。
