美国习惯用语-第288讲:男性聚会女性聚会
<p>我们上次讲了好几个美国人有关宴会或者聚会的说法。很多美国人确实爱热闹，一有适当的机会大家就会聚在一起乐一下。除了我们上次介绍的几种说法以外，还有其他一些有关聚会场合的习惯用语。我们今天再介绍几个比较常用的。第一个是：<span word="stag">stag</span> <span word="party">party</span>。这个短语中<span word="stag">stag</span>这个词，它的意思是成年的公鹿。由此可以推测<span word="stag">stag</span> <span word="party">party</span>就是由清一色男士们参加的聚会，女性一律谢绝。<span word="Stag">Stag</span> <span word="party">party</span>的内容可以是打扑克，一起看拳击赛或者足球赛。有时候<span word="stag">stag</span> <span word="party">party</span>在新郎举行婚礼的前夜举行，纪念他告别单身生活。这就是我们要给大家的第一个例子。</p><p>例句1：<span word="I">I</span> <span word="dont">dont</span> <span word="feel">feel</span> <span word="so">so</span> <span word="good">good</span> <span word="this">this</span> <span word="morning">morning</span>. <span word="I">I</span> <span word="gave">gave</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="brother">brother</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="stag">stag</span> <span word="party">party</span> <span word="last">last</span> <span word="night">night</span> <span word="because">because</span> <span word="hes">hes</span> <span word="getting">getting</span> <span word="married">married</span> <span word="today">today</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="we">we</span> <span word="stayed">stayed</span> <span word="out">out</span> <span word="too">too</span> <span word="late">late</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="had">had</span> <span word="too">too</span> <span word="much">much</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="drink">drink</span>.</p><p>他说，我今天早上不太舒服。我昨晚给弟弟举办了个男子汉聚会，因为他今天要结婚了。我们太晚回家，酒也喝得太多了。</p><p><span word="Stag">Stag</span> <span word="party">party</span> 就是男性的聚会。</p><p><span word="stag">stag</span> <span word="party">party</span> 排斥女性，不免引起女性的不快，而妇女们也有针锋相对的一手。这就是我们要学的下一个习惯用语：<span word="Hen">Hen</span> <span word="party">party</span>。<span word="Hen">Hen</span>意思是母鸡。我想不少人已经猜出<span word="hen">hen</span> <span word="party">party</span>指的是甚么样的聚会，当然是妇女聚会了，换句话说，<span word="hen">hen</span> <span word="party">party</span>全是女性参加。下面我们要看一个例子。这是一个丈夫在说他太太将要参加的妇女聚会。</p>
