你是lady-killer嗎？

Jessica在北京學中文，她的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎么說的詞，就會來請教她。今天是怡茹要問的：大眾情人。

Jessica：Hey 怡茹, what's your plan for the weekend?

YR: 我原來大學的同學組了個樂隊，今晚在酒吧表演，怎么樣？要不要一起來？

Jessica: 那，得看樂隊成員帥不帥呀？

YR: 那你一定得來！我這些同學都是大學里的校草級人物，主唱更是人帥脾氣好，大學的時候簡直是大眾情人啊！

Jessica: Ha! Sounds like a lady killer to me!

YR: Lady killer? 女性……殺手？

Jessica: No! A lady killer refers to a man who's extremely charming and women just throw themselves at him. These guys are usually very good-looking.

YR: 這簡直就是我那個同學的寫照！Every girl dreamt of dating him in college. He's such a lady killer! 盡管如此，他人卻特別隨和，一點也不難伺候！不像我男朋友，動不動就不高興，我簡直受夠了！

YR: High maintenance? 高級維修？我倒不用維修我男朋友……

Jessica: Haha Yiru, when you say someone is high-maintenance, it means he or she is really hard to satisfy.

YR: 哦，我懂了，就是難伺候！My boyfriend is definitely high-maintenance. He's constantly complaining, and can easily get upset!

Jessica: I'm sorry Yiru. You know what? Maybe you will have a shot with that lady killer classmate.

YR: 我？我可配不上他。對了，這個“配不上”用美語怎么說？

Jessica: You can say A is out of B's league. 意思就是A配不上B。But Yiru, a nice girl like you deserves someone awesome! I don't think any guy is out of YOUR league!

YR: 呵呵，謝謝你 Jessica! 那你晚上跟我一起來哦!

Jessica: Sure. I'll go with you. Before we get ready for the party, tell me what you've learned today!

YR: 第一，大眾情人叫做lady killer;

第二，形容某人難伺候可以用high-maintenance;

第三，配不上，叫做out of someone's league!
