You are a nerd, but it doesn't mean you have to stay that way forever. We want you to be cool, you want to be cool...here's how to be cool.

你是個缺乏吸引力的人，但這不意味著你一直會是這樣。我們想讓你變得更酷，你也想變得更酷...以下教你如何變得更酷。

Step 1: Get Some Skills
Take something you like and get really good at it. Video games don't count. They isolate you. Write, surf, snowboard, anything. Being good at something makes you interesting - it gives you something to talk about and builds your confidence.

1.學(xué)點特長
學(xué)些自己喜歡的東西，并真正地把它變成自己的專長。電子游戲不算在內(nèi)，因為它只能讓你與世隔絕。寫作，沖浪，滑雪，什么都好。身懷一技之長能給你更多的談資，幫你樹立自信，也更能引起他人對你的興趣。

Following the fads is a dead end. Choose your own adventure and stick with it.

追逐時尚是沒前途的。選擇屬于自己的路線，堅持走下去。

Step 2: Don't Advertise
Everybody has a MySpace page, but you don't need to load it up with revealing photos of yourself. Don't overpost. Over-advertising yourself - or your iPhone or your sports car - is not cool.

2.要保持低調(diào)
每個人在社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)中都有個人主頁，但你沒必要把自己的照片都傳上去。不要過分炫耀。過分地向他人展示自己，炫耀自己的iPhone或跑車，這并不酷。

Step 3: Get A Gimmick
Quote Shakespeare. Do a card trick, or appreciate art. This will become your guaranteed ice breaker in any awkward social situation.

3.搞搞噱頭
言談中引用幾句莎士比亞的名句。表演個撲克魔術(shù)，或者品評品評藝術(shù)。在任何尷尬的社交情景中，這些都無疑會為你打破僵局。

Step 4: Don't Be The Last To Leave
You have better things to do than just hang around your friend's house.

4.不要最后一個離開
比起在朋友家附近轉(zhuǎn)，你有更重要的事情去做。

Step 5: Don't Do Everything You're Told
Really. Even by us.

5.對于別人的話，不要唯命是從
真的。就算是我們(videojug)的話，也不能全聽。


Notes:
dead end: 到達盡頭，死胡同，無出路的
例如：
My job is a dead end; I just work in the stores and there's absolutely no prospect of promotion.
我的工作沒有前途，我只是在倉庫工作，因而一定沒有晉升的指望。
