How to say it in American English: Lady Killer
Jessica 在北京學中文，她的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎么說的詞，就會來請教她。今天是怡茹要問的：大眾情人。
Jessica：Hey 怡茹, what's your plan for the weekend?
YR: 我原來大學的同學組了個樂隊，今晚在酒吧表演，怎么樣？要不要一起來？
Jessica: 那，得看樂隊成員帥不帥呀?
YR: 那你一定得來! 我這些同學都是大學里的校草級人物，主唱更是人帥脾氣好，大學的時候簡直是大眾情人啊!
Jessica: Ha! Sounds like a lady killer to me!
YR: Lady killer? 女性……殺手?
Jessica: No! A lady killer refers to a man who's extremely charming and women just throw themselves at him. These guys are usually very good-looking.
YR: 這簡直就是我那個同學的寫照！Every girl dreamt of dating him in college. He's such a lady killer! 盡管如此，他人卻特別隨和，一點也不難伺候! 不像我男朋友，動不動就不高興，我簡直受夠了!
Jessica: Hmm, I didn't know that your boyfriend is a high-maintenance guy.
YR: High maintenance? 高級維修?我倒不用維修我男朋友……
Jessica: Haha Yiru, when you say someone is high-maintenance, it means he or she is really hard to satisfy.
YR: 哦，我懂了，就是難伺候！My boyfriend is definitely high-maintenance. He's constantly complaining, and can easily get upset!
Jessica: I'm sorry Yiru. You know what? Maybe you will have a shot with that lady killer classmate.
YR: 我？我可配不上他。對了，這個“配不上”用美語怎么說？
Jessica: You can say A is out of B's league. 意思就是A配不上B。But Yiru, a nice girl like you deserves someone awesome! I don't think any guy is out of YOUR league!
YR: 呵呵，謝謝你 Jessica! 那你晚上跟我一起來哦!
Jessica: Sure. I'll go with you. Before we get ready for the party, tell me what you've learned today!
YR: 第一，大眾情人叫做 lady killer;
第二，形容某人難伺候可以用 high-maintenance;
第三，配不上，叫做 out of someone's league!
A: High-maintenance guys...ehhh 我可不想有個難伺候的男朋友...
B: 對啊! I try to avoid high-maintenance people in general. They are so hard to deal with.
A: 怎么? 看起來你有親身經歷?
B: Yeah...I knew this girl in high school who drove me crazy. She always wanted to be the center of everything and the focus of attention for every handsome guy. If she didn't get her way, she would just throw a fit and ruin the fun for all of us.
A: 啊! 就是那種什么都要爭風頭的人，真難搞。不過說起來，我高中的時候光學習了，都沒參加什么派對。你呢，Kat?
B: I actually had some really great parties in high school! Especially the theme parties主題派對，where people dressed up according to certain themes. It's a great way to shop for new clothes, and meet new people!
A：今天的美語三級跳里，我們的主人公Heather 和Jeremy就要討論怎么準備去參加PARTY.
B: Let's listen!
