There are many places a young man can go for romantic advice—friends, family, and if the worst comes to the worst, the Internet. Now, desperate bachelors are taking dating tips from a nine-year-old boy.

關(guān)于愛情，年輕人可以從很多地方得到建議——朋友、家人，最糟莫過于互聯(lián)網(wǎng)。而目前，絕望的單身漢們都在向一名九歲的男孩學習約會技巧。

Alec Greven, from Colorado, is the author of How to Talk to Girls. The book, which started as an elementary school project, has become a New York Times best-seller. “I just observed around the playground how boys mess up and what mistakes they make,” said Alec. “A lot of boys made the wrong conversations.”

美國科羅拉多州的亞歷克·格雷文寫了一本名為《如何與女孩交談》的書。這本書起初只是亞歷克的一次小學作業(yè)，而現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)登上了《紐約時報》暢銷書榜的首位。亞歷克說：“我只是在操場觀察男孩子和女孩子在一起的時候都搞糟了哪些事情，犯了哪些錯誤。很多男孩子的交談方式都有問題?！?/div>

Alec believes showing interest is the key to winning a girl’s heart. He said: “Your goal is to make sure you do most of the talking so then you can't mess up.”

亞歷克認為：要贏得女孩子的芳心，關(guān)鍵是要表現(xiàn)出感興趣。他說：“你要做的是確保她在交談中占主導地位，這樣事情就不會搞砸?！?/div>

In his book, Alec suggests that men find a cool role model to base their behaviour on. “The best choice for most boys is a regular girl.” he said. Alec also offers advice for when relationships don’t work out so well. On breaking-up, he said: “You say something like, ‘I don’t think this is really going to work but would you like to be friends’.” On being dumped, he replied: “I say, life is hard, move on. If you can’t get over it, it’s ruined.”

在書中，亞歷克建議男性要為自己的舉止樹立一個好榜樣。他認為，“對于大多數(shù)男孩來說，最好是選擇一個普通女孩?！?亞歷克對于相處不順的情況也提出了建議，比如分手時，他認為：“這種情況下應該說‘我認為我們倆在一起不合適，但能讓我們繼續(xù)做朋友嗎’之類的話?！?如果被甩了呢？亞歷克的回答是：“我會說生活就是如此艱難，繼續(xù)生活吧。要拋開過去，否則你的生活就毀了?！?/div>

Despite his junior love-guru status, Alec says there are no ladies in his life, aside from his mother. “I’m a little too young for all that dating and everything,” he said. Alec is working on several follow-ups to How to Talk to Girls. How to Talk to Moms, How to Talk to Dads and How to Talk to Grandparents are already in the pipeline.

雖然身為年少的愛情專家，但亞歷克說自己的生活中除了母親還沒有其他女士。他說：“約會和其他事情對我來說還太早了點?！?亞歷克正計劃寫其他的與《如何與女孩交談》類似的書：《如何同母親交談》，《如何同父親交談》，《如何同祖父母交談》等都即將問世。
