　　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.”

　　美国科罗拉多州的亚历克·格雷文写了一本名为《如何与女孩交谈》的书。这本书起初只是亚历克的一次小学作业，而现在已经登上了《纽约时报》畅销书榜的首位。亚历克说：“我只是在操场观察男孩子和女孩子在一起的时候都搞糟了哪些事情，犯了哪些错误。很多男孩子的交谈方式都有问题。”

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

　　亚历克认为：要赢得女孩子的芳心，关键是要表现出感兴趣。他说：“你要做的是确保她在交谈中占主导地位，这样事情就不会搞砸。”
