2、美国人的爱情和浪漫始于约会。年轻人有几种约会方式。最开始,他们可能是好几个男孩和女孩都参加的集体约会。之后,他们单独出去约会――只有一男一女。有时他们会去看电影,也可能一起去参加朋友的聚会,或一起出去吃饭。分析:begin with以。。开始;At first起初;

3、如果两对男女一起出去,这叫做双重约会。一个朋友还可能为你和陌生人安排一个“蒙眼约会”。那并不是说你整个晚上都紧闭双目。只是在约会之前你并不知道你的约会对象是谁。如果有人请你出去约会,不管是哪种约会,假若你不想去,你都可以礼貌地说声“不,谢谢!”

4、对于约会,美国人与别的文化国度的人有不同的看法。美国的年轻人把约会看成是玩得开心的时间,并不一定就抱着浪漫的念头。有的人可能这星期与一个人出去,下星期又与另外一个人出去。经过一段时间后,一个男孩和一个女孩可能决定保持稳定的关系。这意味着他们把彼此看成“男朋友和女朋友”,这也意味着他们不想与别的人约会。浪漫之花开始绽放。
