He Asked Me Out!
Friday, Feb. 2nd
Yesterday my friend and I were walking in the hall on our way to math class when I heard someone calling my name. I immediately turned around and saw ①the object of my fantasies, Jeff, waving to me!
I was so excited that I practically wanted to ②jump out of my skin, but I ③played it cool and waved back. He 1)motioned for me to come over. I took a step but I 2)tripped on my shoelace and ④fell flat on my face! Everybody started laughing, and I didn’t want to look stupid, so I pretended I was hurt until he came over and helped me up.
⑤Later that day Jeff asked me out! I’m sure my eyes 3)lit up like stars. ⑥I’vqe had crushes on boys before, but this was different. With the guys before, it had all been secret and one-way. I liked them from afar. I never ⑦let anything on. I would have been 4)mortified had they known.
But with Jeff it felt different than any of those crushes. It felt more real. I didn’t think of it as a crush. When I was with Jeff, I didn’t feel awkward or 5)tongue-tied like I usually do around guys I like. ⑧I was a bit of a late bloomer.
他约我出去了！
2月2日，星期五
昨天，我和朋友正在走廊里走，准备去上数学课，这时我听到有人叫我的名字。我马上转过身去，看见了我的梦中情人杰夫，他正对我招手呢。
我兴奋不已，都快高兴坏了。不过，我还是装作若无其事的样子，也向他招招手。他示意我上前去。我往前迈了一步，但却被鞋带绊住，重重地摔倒在地！周围的人都笑了起来。我不想自己看上去一副傻傻的样子，便假装受了伤，一直到他走过来扶我站了起来。
当天晚些时候，杰夫约我出去了！我敢肯定我当时是两眼放光。我以前也暗恋过其他男孩子，可这一回不一样。以前，我只不过是偷偷地喜欢男孩子，都是单相思。我远远地喜欢他们，从来不表露出来。如果让他们知道了，我会无地自容的。
但我对杰夫的感觉不同于以往其它的暗恋。这次的感觉更真实。我想这不是暗恋。与杰夫在一起时，我不像往常与其他男孩子相处时那样局促不安，或者张口结舌。看来，我有点大器晚成。
Smart Sentences
① the object of my fantasies
想入非非的对象，幻想的对象
在用fantasy一词指想象、幻想时，它特别指那些不怎么有根据，基本上不可能实现的想法，如：The film is more fantasy than reality. 词组 the object of one’s fantasy可指事情，如：my fantasy of touring space ；也可指幻想里的人，如本文中的用法，不过，指人的时候通常与男女关系有关。
② jump out of my skin
惊喜若狂，欢欣雀跃
如果你高兴得想从把你紧裹的皮肤里跳出来，那么这种心情就可想而知了（也就是说you can’t hide it）。而且，这个词组通常指出人意料之外的高兴。词组中的jump也可改为leap或fly，即leap/fly out of one’s skin。
③ played it cool
装作若无其事
这个表达方式会让你想到汉语的野缈嵊，对不对？确实有那么点意思。cool一词表示漠不关心，冷淡，可是如果你假装（play）cool就是另一码事儿啦。你还可以更简单一点，就说play cool，也是一样的意思。
④ fell flat on my face
重重地摔倒
千万别被字面的意思迷惑了，这个词组并不真的意味着摔趴在地上、脸着地，不过它确实指摔得很惨，很难看的意思。怎么样，这个词组很幽默吧。例如：Running on the wet floor, Amy fell flat on her face.
⑤ Later that day Jeff asked me out!
当天晚些时候，杰夫约我出去了！
如果男孩子ask女孩子out，就是对她有意，约她出去。如：John asked Nancy out Saturday night. 当然，现在也有女孩子ask男孩子out的。男女一起out就是约会的意思，是out on a date的简单说法。
⑥ I’vqe had crushes on boys before.
我以前也暗恋过其他男孩子。
crush表示对某人有种说不出的爱慕情怀 (have unspoken amorous feelings for someone)。指单方面的，也就是单恋了；它意味着比较狂热的感觉，不仅仅是一般意义上的喜欢。记住：crush在表示这个意思时后面一定要先用介词on ，再跟代词或人名，且不能作动词用哦。例如：I’vqe had a crush on Sally since she won the speech contest last June.
⑦ let anything on
流露真情；假装
这里的on与你以前知道的意思都不相关，它与let搭配在一起，表示不让他人知道真实感受，不露声色或者想掩盖某种真相，但无褒贬之分。也可以就用let on，如：I was feeling devastated tonight, but didn’t let on at the party.
⑧ I was a bit of a late bloomer.
我有点大器晚成。
late bloomer这一表达的来源是指花的bloom （n. 花 v. 开花），后用来指人的青春期或风华正茂；随后，bloomer一词也指成年人，有作为的人，例如：a full bloomer。late bloomer也就指在某些方面比常人较慢成熟的人，与汉语中的“大器晚成”意思完全一样。例如：Some youngsters are late bloomers.
