显然,老家的亲戚不会用英语问你这个问题,你也不必用英文答(如果你有特别牛的亲戚,请无视这句)。所以,本篇仅供娱乐——咱们就是想看看老外在面对这个问题时都是怎么答的。 亲友同学最爱问的这句: "Are you seeing anyone?" “你有对象/男票/女票吗? 普通青年这么答: 1. "No." “没有。 2. "I’m dating around." “一直在相亲。 3. "I’m not tied down yet." “还没遇到合适的。 4. "I’ve been dating someone for a bit, but I can’t say for sure she is the one." “见过几个人,但都觉得不太合适。 逗比青年这么答: 1. "Yes, and he’s already got two kids of his own, so you’ll get those grandchildren you’ve been waiting for!" “有男友啊,他已经有两个孩子了。你不是一直想要外孙吗,这下你的愿望可以一步到位了! 2. "Not exactly...I just joined a cult where we don’t believe in any sort of lasting, committed relationships. We just use one another to keep the population populated." |
