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?"
杰玛把三明治放下。“对啊，当然可以了，卢克。什么事？”卢克的脸红了。“我知道我很傻。不过我......我的意思是......看，你看到那边的那个女孩了吗？那个金色长发的女孩？”
Gemma looked across the canteen. There was a beautiful girl with long blonde hair at a table near the door. Gemma's hair was short and black, and she wore glasses.

“可怜的卢克！但那样可不像你啊。你和我在一起的时候，你总有很多话说。就说上个周末吧——你上个周末做什么了？”
"I went swimming with Paul on Saturday," Luke said. "We went in the sea. It was so cold - but it was great!"
“我上周六和保罗去游泳。”卢克说，“我们到海里游泳。水很冷——不过玩得很痛快！”
They talked for a few minutes. Then Gemma said:
他们聊了几分钟，然后杰玛说：
"Luke, you're on the social committee, aren't you?"
“卢克，你是社交委员会的成员，对吧？”
"Yes, that's right," said Luke. "Why?" "Well, I've got a plan.
“是啊，没错。”卢克说，“为什么要问这个？”“嗯，我想到一个计划。
