不断进化的语言让我们能越来越贴切地表述这个世界。许多词语可以表达“一个人对你没什么意思”，可我们却对此并不熟悉。 What used to be a stricter binary between dating and not dating has turned into a spectrum of "ghosting" to "breadcrumbing" to "haunting" to "orbiting". 曾经，回答约会只有“约”与“不约”两个选项，而现在，两个选项间涵盖了数种可能，从“玩消失”到“撒面包屑”到“阴魂不散”再到“卫星环绕”等等。 What do all of these terms mean? Are they happening to you? Or worse, are you doing them to someone else? 这些表达有何含义？这些事是否发生在了你身上？或者更糟的是，你就是这样对待别人的？ Ghosting 玩消失 What is it exactly? You've gone a few nice dates with someone that by all accounts are going well when all of a sudden they disappear. “玩消失”到底是啥？你与某人几度约会，两人都觉相处甚欢，可TA突然就不见人影了。 They didn't type "brb", there was no mention of them not paying their phone bill and having no ability to contact you. They just vanished into thin air. 甚至连“马上回来”都不再发给你。不是因为电话欠费，也不是因为无法回复，就是不想理你了，凭空消失得无影无踪。 You can only assume they peacefully passed away. In such a case, you are allowed to actually check your local obituaries. |
