I was on a date from hell.

我进行了一次特别不愉快的约会。

I agreed to go out with this guy who lives in the same apartment building as I do, but he’sturned out to be a real creep. He was nice enough at the start of the date, but then he starteddrinking. Now he’s drunk and I’m miserable.

我同意和我住在同一个公寓楼的那个男孩一起约会，但是想不到他竟然是个卑鄙小人。在约会开始时，他还挺好，然后他开始喝酒，现在他喝醉了，我很痛苦。

I wanted to let him down gently since I’d be seeing him around the apartment building, but Ididn’t want to spend another minute with him.

我想不让他十分失望，因为我会在公寓楼见到他，但是我不想再和他呆一分钟。

Fatima: Listen, Rob, I just don’t think we’re hitting it off. You’re a really nice guy, but I justdon’t think we have much chemistry.

Rob,听着，我认为我们不合适。你是个不错的男孩，但是我想我们之间不"来电"。

Rob: Are you kidding? I’m having the time of my life. We’re just getting started here.Bartender, another round!

你在开玩笑嘛?我现在非常快乐。我们刚刚开始喝酒，Bartender,再喝一轮。

I realized that I needed to be more straightforward with him in case I was giving him mixedsignals.

我意识到我们得对他更直接些，以防给他不明确的信息。

Fatima: I’m sorry, Rob, but I think this is the end of the road for this date. Thanks a lot forthe drinks and I’ll see you around.

我很抱歉，Rob,但是我想约会到此结束吧，谢谢你买酒招待我，再见。

Rob: What? You’re leaving? How about a goodnight kiss? Come over here and give me thatkiss.

什么?你要走了?来个告别时的亲吻吧?过来亲我下。

I wanted to keep my cool, but when he tried to kiss me, that did it!

我想保持冷静，但当他想亲我是，那不起作用了。

Fatima: You’re stinking drunk and this date is over. Capisce?

你已经烂醉如泥了，约会结束了，明白吗?

I got up and left. What is it about alcohol that turns Prince Charming into a frog?

我起身离开了，酒精有什么魔力能将白马王子变成青蛙?
