職場(chǎng)英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ) 第18期:安排約會(huì)

字號(hào):

職場(chǎng)上的接待和約見(jiàn)都需要事先預(yù)約,很少有臨時(shí)的會(huì)面,因?yàn)檫@樣會(huì)對(duì)雙方造成不便。并且你的不請(qǐng)自來(lái)很有可能為他人留下不好的印象。接下來(lái)就讓我們看一下如何來(lái)安排或者預(yù)約一個(gè)約會(huì)。
    I’d like to make an appointment to see Mr. Green on Wednesday.
    我想與格林先生約在周三見(jiàn)面。
    I want to change this appointment from Thursday to Friday, if it’s possible.
    如果可能的話,我想把約會(huì)時(shí)間由周四改為周五。
    What time will you be convenient?
    您什么時(shí)候有空呢?
    Yes, I’m available on Friday.
    恩,我周五有空。“約會(huì)”種種
    在美國(guó),約會(huì)有很多種類,女孩子也可能同時(shí)跟好幾個(gè)男孩子約會(huì)(貌似在中國(guó)的一些大城市也差不多哦),并且處于不同的關(guān)系會(huì)有不同的說(shuō)法,這與我們中國(guó)的文化有太多的差異。這里我們給大家總結(jié)了一些約會(huì)與情侶關(guān)系間說(shuō)法。
    1.怎樣約會(huì)?"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(huì),我們來(lái)看幾個(gè)例子,體會(huì)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(huì)的種類 Kinds of dates
    約會(huì)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(ài)關(guān)系中
    當(dāng)一對(duì)男女處于戀愛(ài)關(guān)系中時(shí),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(zhǎng)期和某人約會(huì),處于戀愛(ài)關(guān)系中"。
    4."天生一對(duì)"的伴侶
    看到一對(duì)幸福的伴侶,你心里一定會(huì)想到"天生一對(duì)"這樣的詞吧,那這樣的表達(dá)用英語(yǔ)該怎么說(shuō)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(gè)人成為夫妻,或是結(jié)成了長(zhǎng)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(shuō)情和性可以分開(kāi),只是為了一時(shí)的尋歡作樂(lè)發(fā)生的情事也不少,像這樣的事情我們用下面的詞來(lái)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.實(shí)用約會(huì)英語(yǔ)
