　　Nick: David, can you do me a favor?

　　David: Sure man. What's up?

　　Nick: So, I know you and Maddy, you guys are good friends, right?

　　David: Yeah we are. We went to the same high school and I've known her since I was a little kid.

　　Nick: That's great! You know we kindda have a thing, no no no, I mean, not like we have a thing. I'm into her but I don't know if she's attracted to me as well.

　　David: So you want me to ask her if she likes you?

　　Nick: Yeah exactly!

　　David: Yeah no problem. That's just a piece of cake. I'll ask her if she's like you this weekend when we go back to our hometown.

　　Nick: Thanks man! Just try to ask her directly, "hey Maddy do you like Nick? Don't beat around the bush.

　　Nick: 这个欠你一份人情就是我们叫做"I owe you one"或者是你可以夸张一点说, "I owe you a big one"就是欠你一份人情的意思.这里的one指代人情.其实one还有很多种用法,比如说,举个例子,我在这里不多说,带过一下.比如说have a good one在这里就是说"have a good day"的意思.你也可以说have a good day, have a good night,或者是可以省事,说have a good one.这里的one是指day or night.在"I owe you a big one"就是说,one是指人情的意思.So this is pretty much it for this time. I'll see you next time, bye
