趣味英语第134期:两个男孩都请我跳舞该怎么办（在线收听）

Sam 15 wants to know...

山姆15想知道：

"What do I do if two boys ask me to a dance?"

“如果两个男孩都请我跳舞，我该怎么办？”

Oh. That's tough.

哦，这很难办。

That's a very nice predicament. Try and see if they're both willing to share you.

这真是一个美好的困境。看看他们愿不愿意让你当他们共同的舞伴。

Pick out one and take the money from the other one.

挑选一个人，然后从另一个人那里收钱。

(mutters counting rhyme) "You." And go with him, and that's it.

（嘟囔着计算）“你”。然后和他一起跳舞，就是这样。

Get a comparison chart, write the two names, and start listing out their qualities. And whoever you think is better, just take that guy.

做一份对比图，写下两个人的名字，然后开始列出他们的优点。选择你认为更好的那个人。

I would lie to one of them saying, "Oh, my parents won't let me go." And then choose the one you like best, like the nicer one.

我会对其中一个人撒谎，“哦，我父母不会让我去的。”然后选择你最喜欢的那个人，选择更好的那个人。

If one's just jerkier, go with the nicer one. Or if one's cuter, go with the cuter one.

如果其中一个人比较笨拙，那就选择更好的那个。或者如果其中一个人比较可爱，那就选择可爱的那个。

You should pick whoever has the best personality. It's not about looks. It's about personality.

你应该选择拥有最佳性格的那个人。而不是选长得好看的那个。性格更重要。

See who you've known longer, maybe, because then if you've known them for a longer time, then you'll be more comfortable to go a dance with them.

也许可以选认识时间更长的那个人，因为如果你认识他的时间更久，那你和他一起跳舞时会感觉更舒服。

If we go through the real polite thing to do, you should accept the first one.

如果按照真正的礼貌来说，你应该接受第一个男生的邀请。

You'll have to say, "Gee, I'm sorry. I already made a commitment. And I'm the kind of person who I follow through with my commitments."

你要说，“啊，我很抱歉。我已经承诺别人了。我是那种会履行自己承诺的人。”

Have you ever seen a '90s sitcom? Have you seen that plot point where she says yes to both of them and then she has to keep running across the gymnasium floor and dancing with both of them without either of them ever finding out? Do that, 'cause it always works.

你看过90年代的情景喜剧吗？你看过那个情节吗，一个女生答应了两个男生的跳舞邀请，所以他不得不在体育馆里来回跑，和两个男生跳舞，还不让他们发现。你也可以这样做，因为这种方法一直奏效。
