Well I hope you remember Joey from friends.
希望你还记得《Friends》里的乔伊（Joey）。
Yes that goofy guy who's like a TV actor and who has this penchant for getting attracted to wonderfully beautiful women.
就是那个傻乎乎的家伙——他看起来像电视演员一样，总是被那些美得令人惊叹的女性吸引。
Well why am I bringing him up?
那我为什么要提起他呢？
well I’m gonna tell you a story about Joey and his meeting with a beautiful stranger in a coffee shop and through that story,
好吧，我打算给你们讲一个关于乔伊的故事——他在一家咖啡店遇到了一位美丽的陌生女子。通过这个故事……

大家好，欢迎来到这节精彩的课程。我的名字叫里玛，正如我所说，我将给你们讲一个关于乔伊的故事。
Now joey from the TV show friends, which is actually a character played by Matt Le Blanc.
现在说的是《Friends》这部电视剧里的乔伊——其实这个角色是由马特·勒布朗（Matt Le Blanc）饰演的。
Okay so well what happened when Joey met a beautiful stranger in a coffee shop?
那么，当乔伊在咖啡店遇到一个美丽的陌生人时，到底发生了什么呢？
So the story goes like this, now joey was comfortably sitting in his favourite coffee shop and suddenly a Brunette entered the coffee shop.
事情是这样的：乔伊正舒适地坐在他最喜欢的咖啡店里，突然一个黑发女子走了进来。
Now the word Brunette means a dark haired girl.
现在，“Brunette”这个词指的是一个黑头发的女孩。
So basically not a girl with blond hair but a girl with dark hair.
所以，其实她并不是一个金发女孩，而是一个黑发女孩。
So a Brunette entered the coffee shop and caught his eye meaning caught his attention or he noticed the dark haired girl.
一个黑发女孩走进了咖啡店，吸引了他的注意——也就是说，他注意到了那个黑发的女孩。
Now it always happens that if you are sitting still and just kind of doing nothing and suddenly somebody who is absolutely stunning walks in,
现在总是这样：当你静静地坐着，什么也不做的时候，突然会有一个美得令人惊艳的人走进来。
that person just catches your eye.
那个人就是会立刻吸引你的注意力。
So that's exactly what happened to Joey.
Joey 就是遭遇了这样的事情。
A beautiful Brunette caught his eye and he found her so beautiful and so enticing that he decided,
一位美丽的深色头发女子吸引了他的注意。她美得令人无法抗拒，于是他决定……
I have to strike a conversation with this girl.
我必须和这个女孩搭讪、开始对话。
Now what does it mean to strike a conversation?
那么，开启一段对话到底意味着什么呢？
It means that he decided to get up and go talk to her.
这意味着他决定站起来，去和她说话。
So striking a conversation means starting a talk or a conversation.
因此，发起对话（即开始交谈）意味着启动一场谈话或交流过程。
So well knowing Joey and how handsome and talkative he is, he decided that he wanted to impress her.
由于非常了解乔伊——知道他长得多么英俊、性格又多么健谈——他决定要给她留下深刻的印象。
That’s right so he walked up to
没错，然后他就走过去了。
the Brunette in order to talk to her, in order to strike a conversation with her in order to impress her.
为了和她交谈、开启对话，以及给她留下好印象，他选择了那位深色头发的女孩。
Now what does it mean to impress a girl?
那么，给一个女孩留下好印象到底意味着什么呢？
It means to get her to like you or to get her to think that you are cool or smart.
这意味着要让她喜欢你，或者让她觉得你很酷、很聪明。
so well that was the idea on
太好了，这正是我们的初衷。
Joey's mind, he decided to go talk
他决定去找乔伊谈谈。
to the Brunette and talk to her in such a way that he can impress her and get her to think that you know,
去和那个黑发女孩说话，用一种能给她留下好印象的方式跟她交流，让她觉得你真的很懂她……
he is really cool or he is really smart.
他要么真的很酷，要么真的很聪明。
So basically get the girl to like him.
所以，基本上就是要让那个女孩喜欢上他。
What happened next?
接下来发生了什么？
When he saw her from up close
当他近距离看到她时……
meaning from a close distance or face to face, he really though that she was beautiful and she spoke in a breathy voice.
也就是说，他是从很近的距离或面对面地观察她的；他确实认为她非常美丽，而且她说话时的声音带有轻微的喘息声（即声音听起来有些急促或柔和）。
Now what is a breathy voice?
那么，什么是“气息急促的声音”呢？
A breathy voice is actually a very seductive or a sexy voice.
那种带有轻微喘息声的语调，其实是一种极具诱惑力、非常性感的语调。
So there you go, there's Joey and there's this beautiful Brunette who's really beautiful up close meaning from close distance and she has a breathy voice,
看，这就是乔伊，还有这位美丽的深色头发女孩——从近距离看她真的非常漂亮。她的声音带有柔和的韵律（即声音听起来很悦耳）。
a beautiful sexy, seductive voice, which has absolutely floored Joey and to top it all, she has an exotic foreign accent.
她拥有一副美丽、性感且极具魅力的嗓音，这彻底迷住了乔伊；更妙的是，她还带着一种异国风情的外语口音。
Now what exactly is an exotic foreign accent?
那么，究竟什么是“异国口音”呢？
