A: Do you want to hang out tomorrow?
明天要不要出去玩儿？
B: Oh, I can't. I have a date!
不行，我有约会。
A: Really? Wow with who?
是吗？跟谁呀？
B: this girl I've been chatting with for the past couple of months. She's really cool and she's driving over here this weekend.
是我最近几个月在网上聊天认识的一个女孩。她挺酷的，周末开车过来。
A: Wait a minute, you mean you met her online?
打住！你是说你们是在网上认识的？
B: Yeah! I signed up for a website called match. and it is great! You fill in all your details and preferences, like if you are a smoker or if you have any pets. Then you find people that have similar characteristics and you can email them or chat.
是啊。我注册了一个叫“配对”的网站，可好了！你只要填写自己的个人信息和寻找的意向，例如本人抽烟、养宠物等等，就可以找到跟你志同道合的人，然后互相发邮件、聊天什么的。
A: That is kind of weird! What if she is a psycho or something like that?
这有点儿不靠谱。万一那人是个精神病呢？
B: It's the same as meeting people anywhere and dating them! I am just tired of going to bars or being set up for dates by my friends! I think this is a really cool alternative, especially if you are a bit shy.
这跟在别的地方认识人、跟人约会没什么两样。我只想跟朋友逛酒吧或者约会什么的。这其实是一个不错的选择，尤其是对于一个内向的人来说。
A: I guess it does seem logical. I'll have to check it out!
我想这还算是说得通吧。有功夫我也去看看。
