Hi，ladies and gentlemen. It's cloudy today. What's the weather like in your city? 嘿，大家早安！欢迎收听可可英语独家专栏节目E聊吧，我是Ukki。很高兴又一次和你相约在节目中，每一期节目我都会跟大家聊聊一些新鲜，好玩，有趣的英语，希望大家会喜欢哦。今天的E聊吧我们来聊聊party，这可不是一般的party哦。
年轻人都喜欢party，大小节日、纪念日都要party一下。不过，你们开过信号灯party吗？没听说过？那我今天可要好好给你们介绍介绍了。

A stoplight party is a party at which guests wear different colors indicating their relationship-seeking status. 信号灯派对指参加聚会的客人会穿不同颜色的衣服来显示他们的感情状况。

Usually, the color green means that one is single and looking for a relationship. 通常来说，穿绿色衣服表示目前单身并且正在寻找恋爱对象。

Red means that one is currently in a relationship, or not looking for one. 穿红色的衣服则表示正在恋爱中或者现在不想寻找伴侣。

Yellow may mean "unsure" or "maybe," or could mean that one is in a relationship but still open to advances. 黄色的衣服表示不确定或者有可能，也可能表示这个人目前有交往对象但是并不否定跟别人发展的可能。

The purpose of a stoplight party is to decrease the apprehension associated with approaching potential mates at parties. It also serves the purpose of providing an easy indicator of one's unavailability to fend off unwelcome advances. 信号灯派对的目是减少客人们在派对上接近潜在目标时的顾虑。同时，这种形式也可以明确显示每个人的感情状况，能够帮助那些名花有主的客人挡掉一些无谓的追求者。

Stoplight party，信号灯派对，这听起来感觉挺不错的哦，如果有机会的话大家不妨去尝试一下哦。非常好奇大家到时候会穿着什么颜色的衣服出场呢？这个问题的答案还是交给大家去考虑吧。
好了，今天的E聊吧我们就聊到这，那我们下期节目再见咯。Bye~
