“約會”種種

字號:


    在美國,約會有很多種類,女孩子也可能同時跟好幾個男孩子約會(貌似在中國的一些大城市也差不多哦),并且處于不同的關(guān)系會有不同的說法,這與我們中國的文化有太多的差異。這里我們給大家總結(jié)了一些約會與情侶關(guān)系間說法。
    1.怎樣約會?"Dating"or"Going out"
    Date 和 go out 都可以表示異性朋友(尤其是有感情或是曖昧關(guān)系的)之間的約會,我們來看幾個例子,體會一下用法:
    I dated him when I was in college.
    I've only had one date with him so far.
    We're going on a date this Saturday night.
    Would you like to go out together sometime?
    2.約會的種類 Kinds of dates
    約會當(dāng)然也有好幾種啦,快看看都有什么呢:
    Blind date: two people have never met before (often arranged by friends)
    Double date: where couples get together to do something
    Hot date: date someone very attractive or used playfully for a date with a friend or spouse
    Going Dutch: date where each person pays his or her share
    3.處于戀愛關(guān)系中
    當(dāng)一對男女處于戀愛關(guān)系中時,該怎樣描述呢:
    They are in a relationship.
    Is she seeing anyone now?
    I think we are going steady.
    See someone 和 go steady 都表示"長期和某人約會,處于戀愛關(guān)系中"。
    4."天生一對"的伴侶
    看到一對幸福的伴侶,你心里一定會想到"天生一對"這樣的詞吧,那這樣的表達(dá)用英語該怎么說呢:
    They were made for each other.
    Aren't they the perfect couple?
    They are a match made in heaven.
    I think they are good together.
    5.夫妻關(guān)系
    如果兩個人成為夫妻,或是結(jié)成了長期穩(wěn)定的伴侶關(guān)系,又該怎樣描述呢:
    A couple: two people dating exclusively
    例如:They are really nice couple.
    An item: a couple who is the topic of gossip or interest.
    例如:So are you two an item now?
    Sweet heart: girl friend or boyfriend; implies a sweet relationship
    例如:He married his high school sweet heart.
    Lovers: a couple who show their affection openly
    例如:Those two lovers just got married last month.
    6.露水姻緣
    都說情和性可以分開,只是為了一時的尋歡作樂發(fā)生的情事也不少,像這樣的事情我們用下面的詞來形容:
    Love affair 例如:He had a love affair with a French girl when he was studying in France.
    Summer fling 例如:It was nothing serious; it was just a summer fling.
