零起点美语-Better Off with E-mail?

Better Off with E-mail?

Steve is chatting with his sister, Diana.
(S=Steve; D=Diana)
S : Gee, Diana, you're always at home. Don't you have any friends to go out with?
D : Sure, I do. But all my friends are either out shopping or they're boring. And you know I hate shopping.
S : Get a boyfriend. I'm sure you won't be bored then.
D : Actually, I want to meet some interesting guys but I don't know how to.
S : Why don't you try E-mail? You might get lucky.
D : I don't think so. Besides, dating through E-mail is neither personal nor romantic. Why don't you introduce me to some of your friends?
S : Why didn't I think of that? How about my best friend, Fred?
D : Uh...maybe I'll be better off with E-mail.

史帝夫正在和他妹妹黛安娜聊天。
史帝夫：咦, 黛安娜, 你老是待在家里。你没有朋友可以一起出去的吗？
黛安娜：我当然有。但是我的朋友不是出去购物了就是很无聊, 而且你知道我很讨厌去购物。
史帝夫：找个男朋友嘛。我相信那样你就不会觉得无聊了。
黛安娜：其实我想认识些有趣的男生, 但是我不知道该怎么做。
史帝夫：你何不试试电子邮件？你可能会走运。
黛安娜：我才不这么认为呢。何况通过电子邮件约会既没有亲切感又不浪漫。你为什么不介绍一些你的朋友给我认识呢？
史帝夫：我为什么没想到呢？我最要好的朋友弗瑞德怎么样？
黛安娜：呃……我用电子邮件可能会比较好些。
