JESSICA 在北京学汉语，她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教她。今天是吴琼要问的：异地恋。
JESSICA:吴琼，what's your plan for the weekend?
WQ:I'll be out of town! 我得坐4个小时飞机去看我男朋友!
JESSICA:Boy! That's a long flight! 你真是个好女朋友。
WQ:没办法啦。异地恋就是这么辛苦。Jessica, 异地恋用美语要怎么说呢？
JESSICA:That's long-distance relationship. So, how long have you guys been long-distance?
WQ:We've been dating for a couple of years now. 不过，他最近因为工作被调去外地两年，我们刚刚开始异地恋。I miss him so much, and I don't know if we can survive the long-distance!
JESSICA:Don't be sad, 吴琼! I know dating over long-distance can be hard, but you got to have faith in the relationship! Hmm, tell me, what do you like about your boyfriend?
WQ:他啊，最大的优点就是真诚，不做作。
JESSICA:So he's a blue-collar kind of guy!
WQ:blue collar? 那不是蓝领工人么？
JESSICA:Yes. But if you say a man is a "blue collar kind of guy", it doesn't necessarily refer to his job. Rather, it's about his down-to-earth, unpretending character.
WQ:I see. My boyfriend is a blue-collar kind of guy. 我就喜欢他这纯朴劲儿。
JESSICA:So what does he like about you?
WQ:哈哈，他也喜欢我清纯，亲切，不做作。那我就是blue-collar kind of girl了？怎么听着这么别扭。
Jessica:Hmm, you can use the phrase "the girl next door".
WQ:The girl next door？ 哦，就是邻家女孩! 没错，My boyfriend says I'm nice and attractive, just like a girl next door! 不过，这次去找他，I don't want to be the girl next door anymore! 我要打扮得艳丽一些，给他个惊喜!
Jessica:I hope he likes it! Now tell me what you've learned today!
WQ:第一: 异地恋是long-distance relationship；.
第二:形容男人质朴老实，可以用blue-collar kind of guy；
第三:亲切可爱的邻家女孩是the girl next door.
B:Keeping up a long-distance relationship is hard!
A:可不是么，异地恋成功率可不高！除非俩人真的特合适。
B:Yeah, and also, the couple needs to have an agreed-upon goal or a reason for having a long-distance relationship. They should know that they're not going to stay like that forever. For example, the goal could be career advancement or a better life in the long run.
A:Yeah! They need to have something to look forward to! 而且俩人目标得一致，不是有句话么，Love is not just about looking at each other; it's looking in the same direction.
B:说得好！Now let's switch gears and talk about food.
A:没错，咱们去吃点快餐！
