J.M.: Most of the time in English, there will be confusion on which date is romantic, which date is for business or for other reasons. So sometimes if we ask someone for a date, we would say a date date. A date date means a romantic date. So if I say "would you go on for a lunch date?" You can say "Is it a date date or is it a lunch date?" If I answer "oh, lunch date", then professional.
英语里，很多时候，对于什么约会是男女朋友间的、什么约会是商务的或其他原因的，会有混淆。所以，有时候如果我们邀请某人去个男女朋友间的约会，我们会说 a date date （约会的约会）。所谓“约会的约会”就是男女朋友间。因此，如果我问你“想不想赴个午餐约会”，你可以说，“是约会的约会？还是午餐约会？”如果我回答“午餐约会”，那是职场的了。
Also you can add breakfast date, dinner date. You can set up with your friends if you want to have a movie date. You can always plan a theme by adding a noun before a date, such as a movie date, a dinner date.
你也可以说早餐约会，晚餐约会。如果你想和朋友们一起去看电影还可以弄个电影约会。你可以通过在“约会”前面加个名词而计划个主题，就象电影约会，晚餐约会。
主持人: When we talk about date, could you tell us, some of the things couples do on a date?
既然我们在说约会，你能不能给我们讲讲在美国，一般情侣约会的时候都会做些什么事情？
J.M.: You mean a date date? I guess it's standard things most chinese couples do. The most popular date is to take someone to a movies and dinner. Nornamlly you go a dinner first and attend a new-featured film or a movie coming out.
你说的是约会的约会？我想和大多数中国情侣做的事情差不多。最普通的约会就是去看看电影，吃顿晚餐。通常先去吃晚饭，再去看场刚上映的电影。
There are also now a lot of people in the culture of the internet, which is a worldwide culture, not only an American culture, you have a lot of online dates, when you meet online and chat online for a long time.
如今，在这个互联网的大环境中，这是世界性的，并不仅仅再美国，还有许多人会在网上约会，在网上认识，在网上聊很长时间。
