Анекдот - Стеснительность

Now he was up in his years (сейчас он был уже в годах) and neither of them had ever been married (и никто из них никогда /ever - когда-либо/ не состоял в браке; neither [`naıð∂(r)]; to marry - вступать в брак).
Of course, they dated about once a week (конечно, они ходили на свидание раз в неделю) for the past six years (все последние шесть лет), but he was so timid (робкий; timid [`tımıd]) he just never got around (он просто так и не собрался) to suggesting marriage (предложить брак; suggest [s∂`dżest]; marriage [`m∂rıdż]) much less living together (еще меньше - жить вместе = а сожительствовать уж и подавно /не решился предложить/).
But one day (но однажды), he became determined to ask her the question (он «стал» /достаточно/ решительным, чтобы задать ей этот вопрос = он решился задать ей этот вопрос). So he calls her on the phone (он звонит ей по телефону), "June."
"Yes, this is June (да, это Джун)."
"Will you marry me? (ты выйдешь за меня)"
"Of course I will! (конечно, выйду) Who's this? (кто это)"

  A man really loved a woman, but he was just too shy to propose to her.
  Now he was up in his years and neither of them had ever been married. Of course, they dated about once a week for the past six years, but he was so timid he just never got around to suggesting marriage much less living together.
  But one day, he became determined to ask her the question. So he calls her on the phone, "June."
  "Yes, this is June."
  "Will you marry me?"
  "Of course I will! Who's this?"
