How to say it in American English: Lady Killer
Jessica 在北京学中文，她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教她。今天是怡茹要问的：大众情人。
Jessica：Hey 怡茹, what's your plan for the weekend?
YR: 我原来大学的同学组了个乐队，今晚在酒吧表演，怎么样？要不要一起来？
Jessica: 那，得看乐队成员帅不帅呀?
YR: 那你一定得来! 我这些同学都是大学里的校草级人物，主唱更是人帅脾气好，大学的时候简直是大众情人啊!
Jessica: Ha! Sounds like a lady killer to me!
YR: Lady killer? 女性……杀手?
Jessica: No! A lady killer refers to a man who's extremely charming and women just throw themselves at him. These guys are usually very good-looking.
YR: 这简直就是我那个同学的写照！Every girl dreamt of dating him in college. He's such a lady killer! 尽管如此，他人却特别随和，一点也不难伺候! 不像我男朋友，动不动就不高兴，我简直受够了!
Jessica: Hmm, I didn't know that your boyfriend is a high-maintenance guy.
YR: High maintenance? 高级维修?我倒不用维修我男朋友……
Jessica: Haha Yiru, when you say someone is high-maintenance, it means he or she is really hard to satisfy.
YR: 哦，我懂了，就是难伺候！My boyfriend is definitely high-maintenance. He's constantly complaining, and can easily get upset!
Jessica: I'm sorry Yiru. You know what? Maybe you will have a shot with that lady killer classmate.
YR: 我？我可配不上他。对了，这个“配不上”用美语怎么说？
Jessica: You can say A is out of B's league. 意思就是A配不上B。But Yiru, a nice girl like you deserves someone awesome! I don't think any guy is out of YOUR league!
YR: 呵呵，谢谢你 Jessica! 那你晚上跟我一起来哦!
Jessica: Sure. I'll go with you. Before we get ready for the party, tell me what you've learned today!
YR: 第一，大众情人叫做 lady killer;
第二，形容某人难伺候可以用 high-maintenance;
第三，配不上，叫做 out of someone's league!
A: High-maintenance guys...ehhh 我可不想有个难伺候的男朋友...
B: 对啊! I try to avoid high-maintenance people in general. They are so hard to deal with.
A: 怎么? 看起来你有亲身经历?
B: Yeah...I knew this girl in high school who drove me crazy. She always wanted to be the center of everything and the focus of attention for every handsome guy. If she didn't get her way, she would just throw a fit and ruin the fun for all of us.
A: 啊! 就是那种什么都要争风头的人，真难搞。不过说起来，我高中的时候光学习了，都没参加什么派对。你呢，Kat?
B: I actually had some really great parties in high school! Especially the theme parties主题派对，where people dressed up according to certain themes. It's a great way to shop for new clothes, and meet new people!
A：今天的美语三级跳里，我们的主人公Heather 和Jeremy就要讨论怎么准备去参加PARTY.
B: Let's listen!
