20. Joe's Date 喬的約會(huì)
A: And then we went to a dance after dinner, and after the third dance she tells me that she's practically engaged to some G.I. who's overseas.
B: So?
A: What d'ya mean “so”? You don't accept dates if you're practically engaged.
B: Why not? You only asked her for a date, not for her hand in marriage. There's nothing wrong in going out with a friend from the office.
A: I know, but it makes me mad. They're all engaged, and they never tell you before you ask them out.
Notes
G.I. (美國(guó))大兵
So?-go on, there's nothing strange about that （這實(shí)際上不是一句疑問句，意思是：這有什么可奇怪的，說下去）
d'ya mean-do you mean (口語中do you連續(xù)，發(fā)d'ya的音)
For one's hand in marriage 向…求婚
Go out with sb.-ask to spend some time with sb.
A：那樣，晚飯后我們?nèi)ヌ?，跳完第三只舞她告訴我，其實(shí)她已經(jīng)同一位海外的大兵訂婚了。
B：這沒什么。
A：你說“這沒什么”是什么意思？既然你已訂婚，就不應(yīng)再接受約會(huì)。
B：為什么不可以？你只不過是請(qǐng)她赴約會(huì)，又不是向她求婚，同辦公室的一位朋友出去玩玩并沒有什么不對(duì)。
A：我知道，不過這使我很惱火。她們都訂婚了，而如果你不問她們，她們從不告訴你。
