你有過這種經驗嗎？原本只是好朋友，某天卻突然萌生「好像可以約會看看」的念頭！結果赴約前一刻又緊張到想落跑，內心小劇場狂飆，懷疑自己是不是瘋了。今天我們要聊的，就是這種讓人又愛又怕、神魂顛倒的「暈船」時刻！

本週的《英語咖啡館》，John 老師和 Shimin 老師要帶大家聽聽剛再度拿下葛萊美獎的爵士歌手 Laufey（林冰），這首將戀愛腦描寫得淋漓盡致的浪漫...或瘋狂歌曲《Clockwork》。我們除了解析歌詞裡那些生動的約會恐慌（像是想落跑的 fight or flight 反應），還聊到了東西方對於「純友誼」的觀點：英文裡的 "friend-zoned" 和我們台灣常說的「被發好人卡」，在心境上有什麼巧妙的不同？

Have you ever had this experience? You're just good friends, but one day you suddenly develop the thought "maybe we could try dating!" Then right before the date you get so nervous you want to run away, your internal monologue goes wild, and you wonder if you've lost your mind. Today we're talking about these moments of being "lovesick" that make you both excited and terrified, completely head over heels!

This week on English Cafe, John and Shimin take everyone to listen to jazz singer Laufey (Lin Bing), who just won another Grammy Award, and her romantic...or crazy song "Clockwork" that vividly depicts the lovestruck brain. Besides analyzing the lyrics' vivid dating panic (like the fight-or-flight response of wanting to run away), we also discuss Eastern and Western perspectives on "pure friendship": What subtle differences exist in mindset between the English term "friend-zoned" and what we in Taiwan commonly call "being given a good person card"?
