dance

A：And then we went to a dance after dinner, and after the third dance she tells me that she's practically engaged to some G.I. who's overseas.
      那样，晚饭后我们去跳舞，跳完第三只舞她告诉我，其实她已经同一位海外的大兵订婚了。

B：So?
      这没什么。

A：What do you mean by "so"? You don't accept dates if you're practically engaged.
      你说"这没什么"是什么意思？既然你已订婚，就不应再接受约会。

B：Why not? You only asked her for a date, not for her hand in marriage.There's nothing wrong in going out with a friend from the office.
      为什么不可以？你只不过是请她赴约会，又不是向她求婚。同办公室的一位朋友出去玩玩并没有什么不对。

A：I know, but it makes me mad.
      我知道，不过这使我很恼火。

B：They're all engaged, and they never tell you before you ask them out.

      学会了。可是我们的手应该怎么做呢？
