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.

你是书呆子，可这并不意味着你永远都会那样。我们想要你变酷，你自己也想要变酷...现在就教你如何甩酷吧。

Step 1: Get Some Skills
要有一些特长

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.

做一些你喜欢并非常擅长的事。游戏只会隔离你所以不在范围内。作曲、冲浪、滑雪板任何东西都可以。有些特长使你变得有趣，因为它们让你有了谈资还建立了你的自信。

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

一时的心血来潮是行不通的。选择并坚持你自己的活动吧。

Step 2: Don't Advertise
不要给自己“打广告”

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.

每个人都玩社交网站（Myspace、人人网、开心网等），但你无需上传一些坦胸露肩的照片。凡事适可而止。过度地宣传自己或者你的iPhone、你的跑车可不是酷的表现。

Step 3: Get A Gimmick
掌握一样小花招

Quote Shakespeare. Do a card trick, or appreciate art. This will become your guaranteed ice breaker in any awkward social situation.

引用莎士比亚的名言。变个纸牌魔术，懂些欣赏艺术。这将保证你在任何尴尬的社交场合成为一名缓解气氛的人物。

Step 4: Don't Be The Last To Leave
不要最后一个离开

You have better things to do than just hang around your friend's house.

比起在你朋友家闲逛，你还有更重要的事去做。

Step 5: Don't Do Everything You're Told
不要唯命是从

Really. Even by us.

这不骗你。甚至我们说的你也无需完全听从。
