各位亲爱的听众朋友,欢迎来到点滴英语天天学的《原味美语》课堂。我是Juliet!Juliet将带您体验美国哈弗大学,美国纽约大学的口语课堂的学习内容。

从古至今,恋爱有3个阶段。第一阶段是“寻求恋情”,第二阶段是“恋情带来的兴奋和激动”,第三阶段是“恋情的终止”。既然恋爱是我们生活中的一个重要部分,当然有很多表示关于爱情的俚语。下面,我们就继续来学习它们。

1. puppy love

解析:It means a state of short-lived infatuation or romantic attraction among children or adolescents. 它是指男女之间不成熟的爱情,译为:一时的迷恋。

例句: Look at them together. It may be puppy love, but it looks wonderful.
(看看他们在一起,虽然或许是一时的恋情,但是看上去很美好。)

Beth is besotted with him, but we think it's just puppy love. (Beth被他迷住了,不过我们认为这只是一时的迷恋。)

2. play footsie

解析:It means to rub someone's foot or feet with one's own, usually in secret beneath a table as a means of flirting or indicating romantic or sexual interest. 译为:偷偷地碰脚来挑逗。表示偷偷碰脚来挑逗某人,在短语后面用介词with,即:play footsie with someone。

例句:My friend's sister started playing footsie with me during dinner. I had no idea she was into me!
(我朋友的妹妹在晚餐间,偷偷用脚来挑逗我。我不知道她喜欢上我了。)

Someone said that Ruth is playing footsie with Henry. Henry and Ruth are playing footsie with each other in practice. (有人说是Ruth偷偷碰脚去挑逗Henry,而实际上,是他们两人互相偷偷碰脚在挑逗。)

My sister's husband was playing footsie with me under the table during dinner. (吃饭时,我姐夫在桌子下用脚来挑逗我。)

3. B.F

解析:B.F. 是boyfriend的缩写,意思是“男朋友”。G.F.则是girlfriend的缩写,意思是“女朋友”。还有一些相关的说法:honey man是男友或者丈夫的爱称,my man的意思是“我的老公,我的男友”。S.O.significant other的缩写,意思也是男友或女友,但指“同性恋中的伴侣”。

例句:Jill and Steve do everything together. Is Steve her new B.F.? (Jill和Steve干什么事情都在一块儿,Steve是她的新男友吗?)

我们今天学习了3个关于恋情的俚语:puppy love,play footsie,B.F.。Hope that you can keep them in your mind. That is all for today.Tomorrow we will come to new slangs about Love. See you!
