这是我今年推出的新的分享方式-情·书。这个板块的文章来自the Boston Globe的专栏记者Meredith Goldstein运营的网站loveletters.boston.com。网站上的文章都是读者给Meredith发来的信件,询问一些我们平时都可能遇到的情感问题,网友会在上面评论留言,Meredith也会给出自己的建议,给许多困惑中的读者带来帮助。
而在我看来,这些文章都是相当棒的英语阅读材料,文字浅显易懂又贴近生活,也会有许多地道的用语表达,同时也提供了很好的讨论的素材。我会将文字贴出,朗读,并且稍作解释,大家看完之后,也欢迎给我留言。如果大家喜欢,我会建立微信群,大家可以在群里朗读其中的段落,互相学习,也可以分享自己的见解,一起学习,共同进步,如果时机成熟,我会在温州进行不定期的英语角,一起线下活动。
在这里,特别感谢Meredith Goldstein同意我使用她的资源,我也推荐有能力的同学可以自己直接浏览该网站https://loveletters.boston.com/?p1=ll_home。
今天的分享的来信题目是:Dating him feels like a game
(https://loveletters.boston.com/2017/01/dating-feels-like-game.html),作者的回复会在周四发出,今天先看读者的来信~录音条是朗读和内容解析哦~
Is love really just a game? It has been my experience that men are interested – until you become interested back and show more interest in him. For months, I had a man ask me out. After an especially painful divorce, I continued to put him off. Finally, I decided to give it a shot. We went out a few times, things got more serious, and I felt myself liking this individual. Texts were sent, calls were made, and then this man – who seemed so interested –was drifting out to sea.
Before he was all about setting up dates and times when he would see me. That changed to responses like "let&`&s see how the day goes." It feels like a chase, like a game. I know of couples who have been married for years, and some are still happy, but I secretly wonder – does one of them never really give in?
