表里不一的三個(gè)詞組 blind date

字號(hào):

1. blind date
    A blind date 指的是由相熟的人或者婚介所安排的男女間的初次約會(huì),而不是盲目約會(huì)的意思。A blind date is a date where the people involved have not met each other previously. The match could have been arranged by mutual friends or by a dating system.
    除了媒人或者婚介所介紹的約會(huì)可以稱之為blind date之外,和網(wǎng)上認(rèn)識(shí)的異性約會(huì),也可以叫做blind date.Blind dates are becoming more commonplace following the rise of the Internet, when people who have met in chatrooms, Instant Messaging or forums finally agree to meet in person. Afterwards, they go to a place where they can have time to talk and get to know one another. This type of date may not be considered 'blind' by everyone however, since the people have already communicated with each other.
    約會(huì)專家建議blind date的約會(huì)地點(diǎn)為:a botanical garden, art gallery, park, promenade or an open-air concert,因?yàn)檫@些地方便于交流,并且容易找到話題去避免無話可說的尷尬,而飯館的環(huán)境略顯嘈雜,不要選為第一次約會(huì)的見面場所。
    此外,"BLIND DATE"還是一檔風(fēng)靡英國的電視速配節(jié)目——素未謀面男女經(jīng)電視臺(tái)安排所作的約會(huì),電視記錄其過程。電視臺(tái)做為媒人的角色出現(xiàn),成為陌生男女之間初次約會(huì)的橋梁。在美國,"BLIND DATE"的同名節(jié)目同樣大受歡迎。一對(duì)對(duì)互不相識(shí)的男女約會(huì)被拍攝下來,然后雙方各自談?wù)搶?duì)另一方的感受。
    好萊塢明星布魯斯威利斯 Bruce willis還曾經(jīng)主演過一部名為《BLIND DATE》的喜劇電影。這部電影上映后頗受歡迎,布魯斯威利也從一個(gè)知名的電視明星成為小有名氣的電影演員。
