今天Michael和李華在學校的書店里買書。李華會學到兩個常用語：hot和to have a crush on someone.

    M： Li Hua， do you see that girl over there？

    L： 你是說那個穿紅毛衣的女孩？她怎么啦？

    M： She's so hot！ I've seen her around campus before and I would really love to meet her.

    L： 你在校園里見過她，還想認識她。嗯，她是很漂亮。不過，你又沒跟她說過話，你怎么知道她很熱呢？

    M： No， silly. To say someone is "hot" means that he or she is really attractive. That girl over there is definitely hot.

    L： 噢，說一個人hot是說她很漂亮，很有吸引力，而不是感覺很熱的意思。

    M： That's right， Li Hua. Now， you know who I think is hot. Tell me who do you think is hot？

    L： 沒錯，我現在知道你喜歡誰了。至于我喜歡誰嘛，嗯……電影演員湯姆。克魯斯 - Tom Cruise - 怎么樣？I think he's hot！

    M： Tom Cruise？ No， I mean someone you really have a chance of going out with.

    L： 噢，要能夠一起出去玩的人吶？

    M： Yes， I mean you are not very likely to meet Tom Cruise. Besides， he's a little old now.

    L： 說得也是，要想認識Tom Cruise恐怕是不太可能的。他當然比以前老了，不過，我覺得他還是很有風度的——He's very hot.

    M： Now， come on， who do you think is hot？

    L： 你想知道我心目里誰最hot呀？我才不告訴你呢，免得你泄露了我的機密。

    M： Fine， be that way， but I will find out sooner or later.

    L： 哎， Michael， 你喜歡的那個女孩去付錢了。要不要我去跟她說話？和她認識以后再給你介紹一下。

    M： NO！

    L： 為什么？你是信不過我，還是怕羞呀？

    M： I'm not sure. Besides， I don't want her to know that I have a crush on her. She might not even like me.

    L： 你不要她知道什么？You have a crush on her —— 這是什么意思？

    M： "To have a crush on someone" means you really like the person.

    L： 噢，to have a crush on someone就是喜歡某人。那我喜歡你，你是我的好朋友，我能不能說I have a crush on you呢？

    M： No， "to have a crush on someone" means you like that person romantically.

    L： 噢，對不起，剛才沒弄清楚。 所以，to have a crush on someone是說對異性有好感，希望和這個人談戀愛，才能這么說。那我能說I have a crush on Tom Cruise嗎？

    M： Yes， that would be appropriate. But when are you going to like someone you actually have a chance of meeting.

    L： 你想知道我真的要誰做男朋友啊？這種事我怎么能告訴你啊。

    M： Why not？ Don't you trust me？

    L： 這不是什么信任不信任的問題。好，等你告訴那個女孩你喜歡她以后我再告訴你，好不好？

    M： Then I guess I won't know who you have a crush on any time soon.

    L： 啊呀，你真是沒膽量。怪不得你交不到女朋友呢！

    Michael和李華在學校的書店里買書，李華學到了兩個常用語。hot是指一個人對異性很有魅力和吸引力；to have a crush on someone是指對異性有好感。
