  A: Do you want to hang out tomorrow?

明天要不要出去玩儿?

B: Oh, I can't. I have a date!

不行,我有约会。

A: Really? Wow with who?

是吗?跟谁呀?

B: This girl I've been chatting with for the past couple of months. She's really cool and she's driving over here this weekend.

是我最近几个月在网上聊天认识的一个女孩。她挺酷的,周末开车过来。

A: Wait a minute, you mean you met her online?

打住!你是说你们是在网上认识的?

B: Yeah! I signed up for a website called match. and it is great!  You fill in all your details and preferences, like if you are a smoker 1 or if you have any pets. Then you find people that have similar characteristics and you can email them or chat.

是啊。我注册了一个叫“配对”的网站,可好了!你只要填写自己的个人信息和寻找的意向,例如本人抽烟、养宠物等等,就可以找到跟你志同道合的人,然后互相发邮件、聊天什么的。

A: That is kind of weird 2! What if she is a psycho or something like that?

这有点儿不靠谱。万一那人是个精神病呢?

B: It's the same as meeting people anywhere and dating them!  I am just tired of going to bars or being set up for dates by my friends! I think this is a really cool alternative, especially if you are a bit shy.

这跟在别的地方认识人、跟人约会没什么两样。我只想跟朋友逛酒吧或者约会什么的。这其实是一个不错的选择,尤其是对于一个内向的人来说。

A: I guess it does seem logical 3. I'll have to check it out!

我想这还算是说得通吧。有功夫我也去看看。
