听美剧学英语:《淘小子看世界》 Boy Meets Girls-8

（单词翻译）

Hey, guys.
Here he is, young me. How's your second date?
Went on another date?
Yeah, my last one.
Oh, second date's slump¹. I have seen it happen 1000 times. Not to me.
You know, you know, I'm thinking it's deeper than that. See, each one of us was born with a certain amount of coolness. Now a guy like Minkus could live to be 1000 years old and never use a drop of this cool. And me, I'm a 13-year-old burnout.
Shawn, get a grip, you are still cool. It's just the planet Mercury in retrospect².
What are you babbling³ about?
Some astrology thing. Topanga was explaining it to me.
Hey, that's right, how was your date?
What date? I didn't have a date. I cancelled it.
Oh, come on. Cory, when I got home from work, you and Topanga were looking pretty cozy⁴ on the couch there.
That was not a date. She just came over to bring me some aura juice.
And?
And nothing. I told her how to shoot basket.
OK, so let's recap. Point A she brought refreshments⁵. Point B you chose the activity.
Sounds like a date to me.
Read my lips. There was no date. We talked about what we are getting our moms for Mother's Day.
Aha, Point C shared interests.
Sixteen to base, we have a confirmed date, send backup.

Oh, Topanga. You and I have to get something straight.
Yes, Cory?
Friday night when you came over to my house, that was not a date.
I'm not into labels.
Yeah, but if you were, what we had Friday night would not be labeled a date 'cause if you recall the circumstances of that evening, I cancelled what would have been labeled a date.
That's fine, Cory. It was not a date. Well, I'll see you later.
OK. Hey, Topanga, you know, your idea about writing my mom a poem for Mother's Day really worked out great. She cried.
Tears are the thank-you notes of the soul.
You know a lot about women?
Well, I am going to grow up to be one.

Face it. Minkus was right.
Don't you hate it when that happens?
No matter how you look at it, there's gonna be hormones⁶, and there's gonna be girls.
Important girls are gonna come into our lives and stay for days at a time.
You know what's cool, we made it through our first dates and we are still best friends.
And we are gonna stay best friends through second dates, proms, engagements, marriages.
Second marriages.
Whatever comes along, we are gonna stand through and face it together, shoulder to shoulder.
Hi, Shawn.
Hi, Cory.
Liar⁷.
