Word of the WEEK-Affair

 

出轨---derailment,高铁又出事故了?NoNoNo!此处的出轨和咱铁路没有半毛钱关系。此处的出轨AFFAIR,形容的是风流韵事,尤指婚外情。

 

伉俪夫妻文章和马伊俐,由于男方的出轨行为,在无良的paparazzi(狗仔队)推波助澜下,使该词瞬间成为近期报刊杂志,移动媒体的娱乐版的核心词汇。相爱容易,结婚不易,而维持一段婚姻更是需要双方的投入和付出。看过了这些爱情婚姻的闹剧,我们始终还是应该坚信爱情婚姻还应是甜蜜美好的。

词汇扩展:

青葱岁月的你,可曾也have a crush on someone (迷恋,喜欢某人),无论他/她是available(单身)还是taken (已经有男/女朋友)。你可曾也在flirt with someone/ hit on someone/ make a pass at someone (调情)之后,终于鼓起勇气ask someone out (追求某人),却不料对方玩起了play hard-to-get (矜持,摆姿势)。你哥/姐们儿都劝你说那女/男孩有什么好,你却认为Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.(情人眼里出西施。) 一番努力过后,他/她答应和你hook up (谈恋爱)。可是没过多久你却发现,他/她一直two-time somebody (脚踩两只船),而你却躺枪成为了the third wheel (电灯泡),电灯泡?不太确切,应该是mistress, concubine (小三,情妇),可是这些词也是形容女士吧?男版小三?不会翻译。得知消息,愤怒与纠结相交的你依然决定dump ()掉他/,朋友们也相劝Every Jack has his Jill. (天涯何处无芳草)。可是你心中丝丝的不舍,让你们玩起了on-again, off-again (时分适合)。都说Absence makes the heart grow fonder. (距离产生美),正是这分开的时间,你得他/她参悟了你真心,玩了一把潮流,pop the question/propose to someone (求婚)了,激动与深思熟虑过后,你们终于tie the knot/get hitched (喜结连理)。可是结婚没多久,你have an affair with someone/cheated on your wife出轨), 你承认错误,觉得时至今日所有的错都是你自己造成的,殊不知,这颗不安的种子早就埋在了一段不安的感情关系中。爱情婚姻太复杂,冷暖自知,不要太作了哦~~  ^_^
