W: The trip was pretty good except for the flat tire we got on the way home. I was going to change it myself but then…Hey, Dan, are you even listening to me? Dan?
M: Oh, sorry. I spaced out (精神恍惚) there for a second.
W: Who were you looking at? Wait a second. You were looking at Julie!
M: All right, I confess! I’m busted. I have a big crush on Julie.
W: That’s wonderful! Julie is a great woman, and you’re a great guy! So have you asked her out yet?
M: No. I’m not really sure if it’s appropriate.
W: I think lots of people meet their "significant other" in the workplace. It’s not like she’s your boss. Go ask her out!
M: I don’t know. What if she says "no"?
W: Have you ever heard the old expression "Nothing ventured, nothing gained"? What if she says "yes"?
M: I’ve always had a really hard time approaching women. I get tongue-tied (结结巴巴) and start sweating. I don’t want to come across as (给人的印象是……) too aggressive, but I also don’t want to appear too passive. It’s really hard to get it right!
W: If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my life, it’s that you never lose by trying. You never know unless you try! Getting rejected isn’t the end of the world!
M: But how do I make the initial approach? Should I try to come up with some clever or witty remarks?
W: I suggest being sweet, straightforward and sincere.
M: So what should I say?
W: Tell her the truth! Say, "Hi, Julie, I was wondering if you’d be interested in going out this Saturday. I know a great sushi place."
M: Just like that? Don’t you think it’ll scare her?
W: Both you and Julie are adults, and that’s the way adults communicate with each other. If you’re worried about being too direct, you should make it a group event and invite her along.
M: The whole process just seems so scary.
W: You know what’s really scary? The idea that two people might be perfect for each other, but they’re too afraid to talk to each other. What a waste!
M: That’s a good point.
W: What’s the worst thing that could happen?
M: She rejects me.
W: And is that so bad?
M: No, I guess not. All right, I’m going to do it. I’m going to ask her out.

答案 D

解析 由原文可知,女士让男士设想最糟糕的事情是什么,男士说是被朱莉拒绝,女士反问这有那么糟糕吗,言外之意就是被拒绝并没有那么糟糕。由此可知,女士的意图是鼓励男士,因此答案为D。
