英語趣味課堂：閃電配對(duì)-Speed Dating
Jeff: Speed dating? No. I have no idea. Fast....?
Jonathan: This is a kind of thing that started up in the last number of years, and what happens is it there's an organizer and you go to some dates in a two hour period.
Jeff: So this is an organized... it's organized and it's... what do you do? Like what do you do?
Jonathan: Well, you'll have a number and a little name tag and maybe you'll be Jeff number 7 and you'll meet and talk to these ladies. Those five minutes are yours to talk about whatever you like. Perhaps you're interested finding out what the girls enjoy doing in their free time, their hobbies, what their background is. I'm sure they'll have questions for you, as well, and if for example out of those twenty dates, there are four or five that you would be interested in seeing again, you put a little check next to their name on your check list. If any of those same ladies put a check next to your name, then you have a match, and you're able to contact those ladies. You are given their e-mail addresses and you can continue to be in contact with them and find out if someone might be right for you.
Jeff: So that sounds great. Have you ever done it before?
Jonathan: Yes, I have.
Jeff: And any luck?
Jonathan: A little bit of luck. You know hard it is. People are looking for sorts of different things, so maybe my lifestyle isn't really suitable for a lot of people I meet and vice-versa.
Jeff: Well, sounds good. I'm in.
