Gemma put her sandwich down. "Yes, of course, Luke. What is it?" Luke's face was red. "It's stupid of me, I know that. But I... I mean... Look, do you see that girl over there? The girl with the long blonde hair?"
杰瑪把三明治放下。“對啊，當然可以了，盧克。什么事？”盧克的臉紅了。“我知道我很傻。不過我......我的意思是......看，你看到那邊的那個女孩了嗎？那個金色長發的女孩？”

“可憐的盧克！但那樣可不像你啊。你和我在一起的時候，你總有很多話說。就說上個周末吧——你上個周末做什么了？”
"I went swimming with Paul on Saturday," Luke said. "We went in the sea. It was so cold - but it was great!"
“我上周六和保羅去游泳。”盧克說，“我們到海里游泳。水很冷——不過玩得很痛快！”
They talked for a few minutes. Then Gemma said:
他們聊了幾分鐘，然后杰瑪說：
"Luke, you're on the social committee, aren't you?"
“盧克，你是社交委員會的成員，對吧？”
"Yes, that's right," said Luke. "Why?" "Well, I've got a plan.
“是啊，沒錯。”盧克說，“為什么要問這個？”“嗯，我想到一個計劃。
