各位亲爱的听众朋友，欢迎来到Juliet的《原味美语》课堂！Juliet将带您体验美国哈弗，美国纽约大学的口语课堂内容。

Tim是一遭被蛇咬，十年怕井绳啊！Once beaten, twice shy！他遭受挫折的心灵让他畏惧再去和女生say hello。然而，Jack却认为是他嘴皮子功夫差，不会用clever pick-up lines去吸引女生。Tim心中却另有想法：觉得那位女生是表面上play hard to get，而实际上是have a feeling for him的。最后，Jack说了一番话，让Tim明白了为何上回那个女生blow him off。Jack说了什么话呢？我们就来听听：

Oh! No. There's Bonnie Margolin. A year ago, some mutual friends of ours fixed us up because they thought we would hit it off. Unfortunately, she was on the rebound, so I didn't want to get involved. I tired to let her down easy but she got furious and started screaming at me. Oh, no! She's coming. Run!

我们暂且不理Jack说了什么，首先来学习4个原味表述：fix up，hit it off，on the rebound，let someone down easy。今天，我们来学习fix up。Fix up有很多不同的搭配结构，不同的搭配结构有着不同的意思。

文中要表示的意思是：To fix up meas to be provided with a date. 译为：为某人安排约会。如果表示“安排某人与某人约会”，用fix sb. with sb.这个结构。如果要表示“被安排了与某人约会”，用get fixed for a date with sb. 或者get fixed on a date with sb. 。 我们来看下面的例句：

Sam got fixed up with Jane. Okay, Sam is fixed up with a date for Saturday. （安排了Sam和Martha约会。好的，Sam在周六有约会了。）

Ps：get fixed with be fixed with a date（有约会，有和.....的约会）

I haven't a date for over a year. Do you think you can fix me up with Lisa. （我已经一年多没有约会了，你看能不能安排一下让我和Lisa约会？）

Ps : have a date：约会 over a year：一年多 fix sb. with sb. ：安排某人和某人的约会

Last night, I was fixed up on a date with Jenny and it was great, we had a a great time. （昨晚，我和Jenny约会去了。太棒了，我们玩得很开心。）

Ps : be fixed up on a date with sb. :有与......的约会 have a great time：玩得非常开心

Fix sb. up with sb. 和get fixed up with sb是idiom，文中的“Some mutual friends of ours fixed us up.”这句话用标准英语来说则是：“Some mutual friends of ours introduced us. ”

我们今天的学习就到此结束了，明天我们继续其它原味美语表述的学习，bye for now.
