美语怎么说008: 放鸽子
[audio]http://www.51voa.com/path.asp?url=/201103/how008.mp3[/audio][color=#333333][font=Verdana, Arial, Simsun][size=12px]Jessica 在北京学汉语，她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教她。今天是庄明要问的：放鸽子
Jessica：哟，庄明，你干嘛气冲冲的？
ZM: 今天真倒霉! 我刚让人放鸽子了!
Jessica: 鸽子？Pigeon? I don't get it.
ZM: 放鸽子，就是你和别人约好，结果对方却没来! 诶？美语里这个该怎么说？
Jessica: Oh! You mean you arranged to meet someone, but the person was a no-show!
ZM: No-show? 把 no 和 s-h-o-w “show” 放在一起，no-show，就是“没来，爽约”。
Jessica: Yes! But Zhuang Ming, who was this no-show? Your boyfriend?
ZM: 嗯....怎么说呢。我约好去见一个从来没见过面的男生，是别人介绍的，就算是……相亲吧!
Jessica: 噢，我明白了! You went on a blind date!
ZM: blind 后面加上 date--约会，blind date， 就是相亲吗?
Jessica: Yes! if your friend set you up with someone you've never met before, that's called a blind date. Blind dates usually end up bad.
ZM: 可不是么! 就说我今天这个相亲对象吧，直接放我鸽子，害我白等。
Jessica: In this case, Zhuang Ming, you say "I got stood up"! 我被人放了鸽子。
ZM: stood up 不是“站起来”的意思么？我可没一直站着傻等啊!
Jessica: No. If you "stand someone up", you fail to show up at a date.
ZM: 哦! 不去约会，放别人鸽子，就可以说 stand someone up。而我是被放鸽子，所以你说我--got stood up!
Jessica: That's right! 我也常被放鸽子! Last month, I had a date with a really cute guy, but he stood me up! 唉，也别生气了，还是说说你今天都学了什么吧!
ZM: 第一，“爽约，没来”，可以说 no-show;
第二，放别人鸽子，可以说 stand someone up;
第三，“相亲”可以说 blind date![/size][/font][/color] oh,I know these phrase---congratulations to myselves:qq87] [b]回复 [url=http://bbs.tingroom.com/redirect.php?goto=findpost&pid=404288&ptid=189800]2#[/url] [i]Erikadyn[/i] [/b]
:qq50]:qq87] I went on a blind date once, the guy didn't stand me up, but he was late, so I think he was a no-show at the beginning, I even thought of going back. And this blind date end up bad, I never want to engage these sort of things again. I went on a blind date in March this year.It's so uninteresting and time consuming.When my aunt told me to,I was upset and not willing to have it.My aunt persuaded me for hours.And she told me that the boy was very good and had a good job.But I didn't think so.I even didn't willing to talk with him.It's rather boring.
And if someone stood me up,I would be very angry.I am unwilling to date with a no-show. I heard many people said that blind date is boring,but I still wanna have a try.You know,nowadays it's a main trend,isn't it?Of course,I will never be a no-show,likewise,someone will not stand me up either.
