點滴英語天天學第60期:戀之語(拓展語彙5)
從古至今,戀愛有3個階段。第一階段是“尋求戀情”,第二階段是“戀情帶來的興奮和激動”,第三階段是“戀情的終止”。既然戀愛是我們生活中的一個重要部分,當然有很多表示關於愛情的俚語。下面,我們就繼續來學習它們。
1. heavy petting
釋義:It refers to sexual touching; foreplay. 譯為:親暱的身體接觸,性愛撫,性挑逗等。
例句: Al and Sue got into some heavy petting last night. (昨晚,Al和Sue親熱著了。)
Jack and Jane should not enjoy heavy petting in public.(Jack 和Jane不該在公共場合親暱。)
You can be sure there's a lot of heavy petting going on under those bleachers. (你可以肯定的是有很多人在露天看臺下親熱。)
2. all over each other
釋義:指兩個人形影不離,黏黏乎乎
例句:Ron and Emily were all over each other during today's church service. (在今天的禮拜儀式中Rom和Emily一直形影不離,黏在一塊兒。)
Peter and Jenny had been all over each other for 5 years but they broke up for no reason just a few days ago.(Peter 和Jenny形影不離5年了,但就在前幾天不知為什麼分手了。)
3. breadwinner
釋義:靠工作養家餬口
例句:Susie is an attorney and Tom is a janitor. It is obvious which one is the breadwinner in that family. (Susie是律師,Tom是看門人。他們家裡誰養家是擺著的事情了。)
When the breadwinner is ill, his children will do anything rather than starve.(大人病了,兒女們做賊做娼也比餓著強!)
