1. Courtship 戀愛階段
William: Well, any news?
Tony: Yeah, I finally asked Anna out!
W: Great! She said yes I hope?
T: Of course! How could she resist my manly charms①!
W: How did you do it? What did you say?
T: Well, I did everything you suggested like being friendly to her and talking with her and……
W: Come on! Cut to the chase②!
T: OK! OK! I was going to class when I saw her on her own so I went up to her and asked if she wanted to go with me to the cinema sometime. And she said yes!
W: Congratulations!
T: Thanks, but we're not officially boyfriend and girlfriend yet. We're going tomorrow night.
W: What kind of film are you going to see?
T: A horror film.
W: Why on earth go to see a horror film?
T: Someone once told me that girls get really scared and don't mind if you put your arms around them.
W: You Casanova③ you!
① resist sb's manly charms: 抵擋某人的男性魅力
② cut to the chase: 切重要點
③ Casanova: 卡薩諾瓦（1725-1798，意大利冒險家，以所寫的包括他的許多風(fēng)流韻事的《自傳》而著稱）。風(fēng)流浪子，好色之徒。
W: 近有什么新進(jìn)展嗎？
T: 是的，我終于約了Anna！
W: 太棒了！她同意了，對吧？
T: 當(dāng)然了！憑我的男子魅力，她怎么能拒絕呢！
W: 你是怎么做到的？都說了些什么？
T: 就是按照你的建議做的，比如與她友好地接觸，主動跟她聊天什么的。
W: 行了，趕緊說重點吧！
T: 好的，好的！就是有一天我去教室上課，在路上正好看到她是一個人，我就走過去問她要是有時間的話，是否愿意與我一起看電影。然后她就同意了！
W: 太好了！祝賀??！
T: 謝啦！但我們還不是真正的男女朋友關(guān)系。我們約著明晚一起去看電影。
W: 那你打算帶她去看什么類型的電影？
T: 當(dāng)然是恐怖片啦。
W: 干嘛非要去看恐怖片??？
T: 我記得有人跟我說過，當(dāng)女孩害怕的時候，你趁機(jī)伸手去摟著她，她是不會介意的。
W: 你這個大色狼！
