怎样用英语完美表达男女关系？

蝴蝶梦

1. I don't want to be the third wheel. 我不想当电灯泡.

一般的自行车都只有二个轮子, 要是有三个轮子呢? 没错, 那第三个轮子就是多余的. 所以 Third wheel 就是美语中电灯泡正确的表示方法. 还有一个**, 叫 I don't want to be the third arm. 这里不是说 “三只手”的意思, 而是和 third wheel 一样, 都是电灯泡的意思.
* A, o% {: r" v
/ j3 Y! P. F, L3 f3 L2. He is dating another girl on the side. 他同时脚踏两条船.

' W) C0 Q$ K0 u( D我想把这句说成 I have my feet in two boats 的人也不在少数吧! 其实正确的说法应该是像这样, He is dating another girl on the side. 或是你可以说 He is dating another girl behind her back. (这个 her 指的是他女朋友的意思)
/ z+ S& P0 i( ?3 e, Z1 m4 {; N, Z
+ W; b4 W4 I& w7 j) FOn the side 这句话你去餐厅用餐时也常用到, 指的是主菜之外的副餐, 比如说 I'd like salad with dressing on the side. 就是说我要沙拉和沙拉酱. 或是 Would you like a baked potato on the side? 要不要再点一份烤马铃薯啊?

3. I am the one-woman kinda man. 我是那种从一而终的男人.

; ~" n0 S/ J; `/ j! q: E/ D! ~在美国从一而终的人好像不多, 他们通常从高中就开始交男女朋友, 一直交到结婚, 中间不知改朝换代过多少次. 所以这句话是很难得听到的. 其实我比较常听的是 one-man woman, 因为看来不论中外, 女生都比男生坚贞一点. kinda在口语中常用, 它是 kind of 的简写, kinda man 就是说那样的男人。可以省略不说.
5 U0 _; [, ?( {, d! ^
还有一种用法叫 We are exclusive. 这个 exclusive 指的是排他的意思. 所以当一对情侣说, We are exclusive时, 就是说我们心里只有对方一人, 我们都不会再去喜欢上别人.
: j9 _# i! l; q6 O
% j9 k* ^3 M* ?. y8 i4 N8 [4. Those boys like to hit on me all the time. 那些男生老爱找我搭讪.
! P* p0 E- ]* Y0 w$ a! H% Y: d
Hit somebody 是说你打某人的意思, 但是 hit on somebody 就不一样了, hit on somebody 是当作搭讪来解释. 常常电视剧里可以看到, 一个男的跑去跟一个陌生女孩多说了两句话, 那个女生就说: Are you hitting on me? 你现在是在跟我搭讪吗? 实在是很有意思。

9 G  C5 F# f! L; n5. That's the long distance relationship. 我和我的情人分隔两地.
$ N( ~# N$ ]" r; ^9 b: U
一般relationship都是特别指男女朋友之间的关系, 比如你可以跟你的另一半说, I really appreciate our relationship. 就是我很感激我们能够在一起.
  \+ J$ V# ~" \4 x
Long distance relationship是一种固定用法, 这样的**我常在广播中听到. 他们一般情况下不会说成 We live far away from each other. 只会说 We have a long distance relationship. 再来你可能可以接著说, It's so hard for me.

6. You should have chivalry. 你应该有点绅士风度。
1 [! B: F1 k2 Q& l$ @+ p0 H
我觉得美国的男生都蛮有风度的, 他们会帮女士开门 (这点在美国尤其重要, 因为美国的空气太乾燥了, 所以去开门常常会触电 ^__^ ) 会让 Lady first. 这种行为中文叫绅士风度, 但在英文中叫骑士精神 (chivalry)
$ ~& @0 N$ f# m2 m% C! l# ]
7. I saw you smooching that girl just outside my window. 我看到你在我的窗外亲那个女孩喔。

Smooch 是一个口语, 它就完全等于大家所熟知的 kiss 这个字.

8. I'm all over you. 我对你非常地著迷.

9 \* x$ C) ~. o. X3 WAll over you 就是说对你非常地著迷, 这还有另一种表示方法, 叫 I have a crush on you. 这二句都是表达很喜欢某人的意思.
) Q  v# [+ w/ C* v8 }+ q
- E$ L% ^* {! S) }# |, ~" A# JAll over somebody 还有一个很常用的用法, 我把它翻成“三贴”比如说你去舞厅跳舞, 看到有一对男女跳到三点都贴在一起了, 你就可以跟你的同伴说, Hey, look, the guy is dancing all over the girl.

9 i7 f+ `" a2 i( n9. I'm over you. 我跟你之间完了。

一字之差但是意思完全不同喔. 你要是说 I'm over you, 就是说我跟你之间完了, 我不想再和你有任何的瓜葛. 这和 I'm all over you 是完全不一样的。

10. Are you trying to seduce me? 你想要勾引我吗?
( k) q+ y* t: k+ ^) j; u& D
( B/ h; k+ E& x4 t. C6 }( h. J& TSeduce 就是说你用言语或是行为去勾引某人. 这句话在美国派 (American Pie) 当中有用到过喔! 就是其中有一个男生最后找不到伴了, 结果跑去勾引一个老女人. 那个老女人就说了, Are you trying to seduce me?
% {% H6 u; v$ @% D' N3 w9 S
更好玩的是, 那个男生事后还跟同伴吹牛, "Women are like wine. They only get better with age." 女人吗, 就像老酒一样, 只会越陈越香。
