想聊就聊-3.03.2谈论意中人

A: Hey, Jack¹! Is Jenny coming with us?

B: Yes. Why?

A: Nothing. I am just asking.

B: Just asking?! Why is your face burning like mad? Ah-huh, someone has a crush on Jenny, doesn't he?

A: Who has a crush?

B: Come on, Ted²! Don't be such a chicken. If you like her, you’ve got to tell her. Maybe she likes you.

A: Well, I don't have the guts³ to ask her out.

B: What are you so afraid of? Just tell her what you are feeling about her.

A: I’d totally die if she turned me down.

B: But that's better than keeping everything to yourself. You’ve got to let her know. Come on! You’ve got to take a chance. Even though you are rejected, it’s not the end of the world. There’s nothing to lose, is there?

A: I don't know.. Well, maybe you are right, but how am I gonna tell her?
