恋爱一族约会英语词汇
时间：2009-02-18 来源：hao360
内容：美语中有些字眼在中文里面似乎找不到可代换的字, 其中感情方面的字好象就占了不少。也许有一天你会跟老外交往, 也或许你只是有兴趣认识这些字, 这个单元是恋爱一族不可不看的喔！
1. have a crush on sb迷恋某人
A: I'm having this huge crush on Ted. I'm going to try and see if I can ask
him out this weekend.
A ：我最近好喜欢 Ted 喔! 我想看看能不能约他这个周末出来。
B: Well...But I heard that he is already seeing somebody.
B ：嗯……但是我听说他已经有了交往的对象了!
美国人关于交友的用词和我们有些不同。这里的“he is seeing somebody”有可能指他刚正开始和某人交往, 也可能指他和对方已经交往了一阵子。
还有一个美国人常用来形容他们的感情状况的字是“relationship”。到目前为止，我还不能找到一个很贴切的中文来代替它。不过，如果例句中的“...But I heard that he is already seeing somebody.”改成“...But I heard that he is already is a serious relationship with somebody.” 就惨了。因为那表示这个叫Ted 的男生不但是“死会了”，而且是“非常地死会”。 各位应该可以大致抓到它的意思吧。
2. play hard-to-get 欲擒故纵
A: So she stood you up last night.
A ：结果, 她昨晚放你鸽子啦?
B: Well, I guess she's trying to play hard-to-get.
B ：嗯, 大概想跟我玩欲擒故纵的游戏吧!
“stand someone up”是“放某人鸽子”的意思。
“play hard-to-get” 也可以说成“play tough-to-get”。
3. hook up 介绍、送作堆
A: Hey, how come you've never told me you have a cute sister...
A ：嘿! 你为什么从来没告诉我你有一个这么漂亮可爱的妹妹?
B: What are you trying to say?
B ：你想说什么呢?
A: Well, you can hook me up, maybe?
A ：嗯！也许你可帮我介绍一下?
B: No way.
B ：休想!
“How come?”是口语上经常被用来代替“why”的字, 是“为什么”的意思。但是“how come” 跟“why”的用法是不同的。用“how come”时, 句子的构造很接近中文。 如：How come you didn't call me last night?（你为什么昨晚没打电话给我呢？）。这句话如果换成用“why”就须要用一般的问句型式，而成“Why didn't you call me lastnight?”了。美国人对于亲属辈份关系的区分, 并不像我们那么清楚。这里的“sister”可能指“姊姊”, 也可能指“妹妹”。须要另外问才清楚。
“hook up”是“connection”的意思，相当于中文里的“介绍、认识”之类的词, 并不单指男女之间的认识。比如某人正在找份工作, 他的朋友刚好认识比尔盖兹(Bill Gates) 。他就可以跟这位朋友说“Hey! Since you're a friend of Bill's, why don't you hook me up?” （嘿！既然你是比尔的朋友，帮我介绍一下吧！）
4. break up 分手
A: How are Bob and Pat doing?
A ：Bob 和 Pat 近来如何?
B: They broke up last summer.
B ：他们去年夏天分开了。
“break up”是“关系中止”的意思，不限于男女之间的关系。“break-up”是分手的名词形。如：They had an ugly break-up.（他们很不愉快地分手了。）
5. date (男女间的) 约会；约会对象
A: Dude, did you see that babe over there? I'm dating her.
A ：老兄! 看见那边那个美女没有? 我正在跟她约会喔!
B: Man, you're lucky.
B ：你真是运气好!
“babe”是“令人垂涎”的美女或俊男。
“和某人约会”除了用“date”， 还可以用“romance”这个字。比如：Beck and Ada have been dating for years.可以说成：Beck and Ada have been romancing for years. 都是“Beck 跟 Ada 爱情长跑多年的意思”。注意名词“date” 和“appointment”不可混
用。quot; appointment 是男女以外的约
会，如医生、工作面谈的约。万一你跟你的医生说：“I'd like to have a date withyou.” 他可能会眼睛、嘴巴都张得很大。
