PHOEBE: You are so smitten.
MONICA: I am not.
PHOEBE: Oh, you are so much the smitten kitten. You should ask him out.

PHOEBE: So. You two are totally into each other.
MONICA: Phoebe, he's a friend of my parents. He's like 20 years older than me.

菲比：你的魂儿都被勾掉了。
莫妮卡：我才没有。
菲比：噢，你是只被勾了魂的小猫。你应该约他出去。
莫妮卡：伯克医生？不行，我的意思是他就像是个长辈。
菲比: 那怎么了？你们俩完全互相吸引。
莫妮卡：菲比，他可是我父母的朋友，他比我大20岁呢。

【世博视角】

先来看一个动词smite, 解释为“重击”，不过这一用法已经过时，现在还在用的是它的过去分词形式smitten, 用来形容“一下子爱上…”，难怪有人说一见倾心的刹那感觉就像是被什么给重重地打了一下，如：As soon as he saw her, he was smitten. 有时候我们也会一下子爱上做某件事情，比如：

She was smitten with jazz at a very early age.

对某人一见倾心可以用smitten，如果两人互相吸引的话我们可以说 be attracted to each other, 但在口语中有个更加简单的表达法，那就是be into each other。into这个词的解释之一就是“喜欢，对…感兴趣”，一般我们都是用be into sth, be into sb大多只在口语中使用，例如：

I know she's really into sports, so I thought I'd ask her to come skiing with us.

You really wanna know? It’s just that he is not that into you.
