Day 26 go out和go out with sb.意思差别居然这么大！

A: Hey，Darby，do you wanna go out with me?

D: What? I'm flattered，but I like girls，Alex.

A: You don't wanna go out to the bar?

D: Oh，you wanna ask me if I wanna go out，to hang out with you!

A: Of course!

D: But remember for next time，“do you wanna go out with me” means…“do you wanna go on a date”.

A: Well，then… do you?

D: Shut up!

OK，听完今天的对话之后，我们要来学习“do you wanna go out with me”和“do you wanna go out”的区别。

So，Darby，what's the difference?

Well，when you say“do you wanna go out with me”，this is a fixed phrase and it usually refers to “dating”. If two people are “going out”，it means maybe they are girlfriend and boyfriend.

However，“do you wanna go out” is usually used among friends. It just means “do you wanna hang out”.

Hey，do you wanna go out to the bar? Do you wanna go out to the lounge?

在我们今天学习的对话当中，我想邀请大白跟我一起去酒吧，我最开始说的是：Do you wanna go out with me? 结果呢，go out with sb.是一个固定搭配，这个搭配是“约会”的意思，只用于情侣之间。

因为我和大白是朋友关系，所以在这种情况下，我只能说：大白，do you wanna go out tonight? 你今天晚上想出去玩吗？

All right. So it's time for our bonus! You heard me say in the conversation “What? I'm flattered，but I like girls，Alex.” In this situation，“I'm flattered.” means “Thank you for the compliment.” But “flatter” has another meaning. If you flatter somebody，for example，if you flatter your boss，it means “拍马屁”.

在今天的bonus time当中，我们学到了一个非常地道的表达，叫“I'm flattered.”。当别人夸奖你的时候，你就回应一句“I'm flattered.”，相当于“您过奖了”。
