情侶的另一半咋稱呼

字號:

和朋友聊家常的時候,大家都是怎么稱呼自己的另一半呢?“愛人”太正式,“朋友”太隱晦,“那位”特生活,特自然,酸酸甜甜剛剛好。你知道“那位”用英語怎么說嗎?
    答案就是:other half.The other half of your relationship. Your other half is simply your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife. 英語中可以把情侶中的一方,男朋友,女朋友,丈夫或妻子統(tǒng)稱為 the other half .
    注意嘍,“那位”尤其適用于老夫老妻或是有長期關系的情侶。你想啊,連名字、稱謂都省略了,那兩人的關系得多熟啊。You would be more likely to use this for a boyfriend or girlfriend you have been with for a long-time——so it would be someone you are in a long term relationship with.
    另一點要注意的是,you usually use it to talk about your other half with someone else.Other half 一定是在和第三者談話的場合使用。你和自己的“那位”談話的時候可就別“那位,那位”的叫了。
    用法實例:
    1 A: So are you coming to Jess' party?
    B: Yeah I'll be there. Can I bring my other half?
    2 A: So are you going on holiday this year?
    B: Yes, me and my other half are going to America to visit some friends for a couple of weeks.
    3 A: Well I've got to go——my friend and her other half are staying and we're going out for a meal.
    B: I've got to get back to my other half.
    先說到這里。我去找我的“那位”my other half,你去找你的“那位”your other half吧。
