英语课
Dialogue 1
Jingjing: Xiao Gao, how's everything going 1 with you and Jennifer?
京晶：小高，你和珍妮弗最近怎么样？
Xiao Gao: I'm not sure, she seems 2 pretty happy, but she never says what's on her mind 3, so I don't know if she's really happy or not.
小高：我也不知道，她看起来挺高兴的，但是她从来不说自己到底在想什么，所以我也不知道她是不是真的开心。
Jingjing: Well, if she seems happy, then she probably 4 is happy, just leave it at that. Girls don't want to be read like a book.
京晶：如果她看起来很开心，那么她很可能确实很开心。就这么简单。女孩子不喜欢自己的心思被人家轻易看穿。
Xiao Gao: Since 5 you're a girl, can you give me some pointers on what girls want from a guy 6?
小高：既然你是一个女孩，你能不能给我一些小的提示，女孩子到底想要男生怎么做？

京晶：首先你必须遵守承诺，而且决不能说谎。
Xiao Gao: I know that, anything else?
小高：嗯，这个我知道，其他的呢？
Jingjing: Also, girls don't like it if their boyfriends 9 have too many friends who are girls.
京晶：还有，女孩子不希望自己的男朋友有太多的女性朋友。
Xiao Gao: But I'm a people person 10 and have lots of friends, both guys 11 and girls!
小高：但是我是一个人缘很好的人，我有很多朋友，男的女的都有！
Jingjing: Maybe you should cut back on spending time with other girls.
京晶：那么你应该减少和其他女孩儿相处的时间。
Xiao Gao: There's no way I could 12 do that! Are you crazy 13?
小高：这怎么可能！你疯了吗？
Jingjing: Hey, you're the one who asked me for advice 14, remember? Besides,put yourself 15 in her shoes, how would 16 you feel if she had 17 a lot of guy friends?
京晶：嘿，是你问我要建议的，你忘了吗？况且，换个立场来看，如果她有很多的男性朋友你会怎么想？
Xiao Gao: Yeah, you're right, I never thought 18 about that… Okay 19, I'll be quiet now.
小高：嗯，你说得对，我从没想过这回事，好吧，我收回之前的话。
