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."
“也不算有吧。。。我最近加入了一个教派,我们教的人都不相信人能有持久忠贞的感情。所以关于繁衍的问题,我们都跟自己人内部解决了,正好也可以扩大教众。”
3. "I see people all the time. I'm seeing you right now!"
“我一直在跟各种‘对象’见面啊,你不也是我见面的对象之一嘛!”
4. "Actually, I've found paper folding and basket weaving to be a better use of my time. Those are two of my new favorite hobbies, you know, since I'm single."
“讲真,我觉得折纸和编花篮是打发时间的好途径。你知道吗,自单身以来,我就喜欢上这两个爱好了。”
