今天Michael和李华在学校的书店里买书。李华会学到两个常用语：hot和to have a crush on someone.

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

    L： 你是说那个穿红毛衣的女孩？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： 你在校园里见过她，还想认识她。嗯，她是很漂亮。不过，你又没跟她说过话，你怎么知道她很热呢？

    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，说一个人hot是说她很漂亮，很有吸引力，而不是感觉很热的意思。

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

    L： 没错，我现在知道你喜欢谁了。至于我喜欢谁嘛，嗯……电影演员汤姆。克鲁斯 - Tom Cruise - 怎么样？I think he's hot！

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

    L： 噢，要能够一起出去玩的人呐？

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

    L： 说得也是，要想认识Tom Cruise恐怕是不太可能的。他当然比以前老了，不过，我觉得他还是很有风度的——He's very hot.

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

    L： 你想知道我心目里谁最hot呀？我才不告诉你呢，免得你泄露了我的机密。

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

    L： 哎， Michael， 你喜欢的那个女孩去付钱了。要不要我去跟她说话？和她认识以后再给你介绍一下。

    M： NO！

    L： 为什么？你是信不过我，还是怕羞呀？

    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 —— 这是什么意思？

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

    L： 噢，to have a crush on someone就是喜欢某人。那我喜欢你，你是我的好朋友，我能不能说I have a crush on you呢？

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

    L： 噢，对不起，刚才没弄清楚。 所以，to have a crush on someone是说对异性有好感，希望和这个人谈恋爱，才能这么说。那我能说I have a crush on Tom Cruise吗？

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

    L： 你想知道我真的要谁做男朋友啊？这种事我怎么能告诉你啊。

    M： Why not？ Don't you trust me？

    L： 这不是什么信任不信任的问题。好，等你告诉那个女孩你喜欢她以后我再告诉你，好不好？

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

    L： 啊呀，你真是没胆量。怪不得你交不到女朋友呢！

    Michael和李华在学校的书店里买书，李华学到了两个常用语。hot是指一个人对异性很有魅力和吸引力；to have a crush on someone是指对异性有好感。
