Day 26 go out和go out with sb.意思差別居然這么大！

A: Hey，Darby，do you wanna go out with me?

D: What? I'm flattered，but I like girls，Alex.

A: You don't wanna go out to the bar?

D: Oh，you wanna ask me if I wanna go out，to hang out with you!

A: Of course!

D: But remember for next time，“do you wanna go out with me” means…“do you wanna go on a date”.

A: Well，then… do you?

D: Shut up!

OK，聽完今天的對話之后，我們要來學習“do you wanna go out with me”和“do you wanna go out”的區別。

So，Darby，what's the difference?

Well，when you say“do you wanna go out with me”，this is a fixed phrase and it usually refers to “dating”. If two people are “going out”，it means maybe they are girlfriend and boyfriend.

However，“do you wanna go out” is usually used among friends. It just means “do you wanna hang out”.

Hey，do you wanna go out to the bar? Do you wanna go out to the lounge?

在我們今天學習的對話當中，我想邀請大白跟我一起去酒吧，我最開始說的是：Do you wanna go out with me? 結果呢，go out with sb.是一個固定搭配，這個搭配是“約會”的意思，只用于情侶之間。

因為我和大白是朋友關系，所以在這種情況下，我只能說：大白，do you wanna go out tonight? 你今天晚上想出去玩嗎？

All right. So it's time for our bonus! You heard me say in the conversation “What? I'm flattered，but I like girls，Alex.” In this situation，“I'm flattered.” means “Thank you for the compliment.” But “flatter” has another meaning. If you flatter somebody，for example，if you flatter your boss，it means “拍馬屁”.

在今天的bonus time當中，我們學到了一個非常地道的表達，叫“I'm flattered.”。當別人夸獎你的時候，你就回應一句“I'm flattered.”，相當于“您過獎了”。
