I don’t want your money, I don’t need to be taken care of, I don’t need to be spoiled with gifts. Make me laugh, respect my choices, and be a gentleman, some of us don’t ask much. 

我不要你的钱,我也不需要被照顾,我也不需要太多的礼物被你宠坏。我就只要你让我大笑,尊重我的决定,然后成为一个绅士。我们有些人要求并不多。

(7:29 完整英语的访谈|English Interview starts at 7:29)单词记忆:1. Spoil 宠2. Respect 尊敬

Is it okay to ask them to pay for dates? Well, you know, every culture is a little bit different, and even within Western cultures, people have very different opinions of that. Generally speaking, it's commonly accepted, at least in the United States where I live, that the man typically takes the lead on that and asks the woman out and therefore pays for the date. Now, there's an ever-growing trend with more and more women that want to contribute and pay for half the date, but I'm kind of an old-school person. I always, you know, unless they absolutely insist, and even then, I still pretty much prefer that I just pay for the date. 

可以要求美国男人支付约会费用吗?好吧,你知道,每种文化都有点不同,即使在西方文化中,人们对此也有非常不同的看法。一般而言,人们普遍认为,至少在我居住的美国,男人通常会带头约女人出去,并支付约会费用。现在,越来越多的女性想要贡献并支付一半约会的费用,这是一种不断增长的趋势,但我是一个守旧派的人。我总是,除非他们绝对坚持,即使那样,我仍然宁愿我来支付约会的费用。

3. Opinion 意见

4. Accept 接受

5. Take the lead 带头主动

6. Trend 趋势

7. Contribute 贡献

8. Old-school 守旧的

9. Insist 坚持

10. Prefer 宁愿、偏好

结论:我觉得男生在首次约会的时候主动付款是一个非常绅士的表现!我想不会有人不喜欢会为女生买单的女权主义者。我记得和Omar初次约会的时候,一整天他买单了两次,第三次我就坚持买单了!后面他都会坚持要买单,除非是我找他出去吃饭,或者感谢他给我的帮忙,当然我也会主动说要给他煮饭,我当然不会计较买菜的钱!
