💡 Example 💡 Justine

Justine (name): O you who have wept tears upon hearing of Virtue's miseries; you who have been moved to sympathy for the woe-ridden Justine; the while forgiving the perhaps too heavy brushstrokes we have found ourselves compelled to employ, may you at least extract from this story the same moral which determined Madame de Lorsange!

🗣 Conversation 🗣

- Hi, Mr. Zhang. What ' s wrong? You don ' t look so happy. How was your date?
- I was turned down again. It ' s frustrating. I guess you ' Ve got to teach me some skills.
- Me? I ' m even less experienced than you are.
- At least you know what American women generally like in a man.
- Believe it or not, I guess American women like a man in good shape, which Chinese women may not care about so much. That ' s my honest opinion. I know you have been trying very hard.
- American men are naturally taller than Chinese men. So even if I exercise, there aren ' t many chances.
- No, that ' s not true. I ' Ve met two American women who were married to Chinese. But those Chinese look very strong and healthy. So if you exercise more often, I bet it will surely be easier for you to date American girls. How old is Jacky Chan? He ' s small and short. But I bet he can have any American woman he wants.
- You know, that ' s going to be a tremendous change for me. Because I never exercise.
- Why don ' t you try then? Even if it doesn ' t help you find an American girl, you could still have a stronger and healthier body. You won ' t lose anything by doing that.
