今天的话题:中西方相亲
粤语是“相睇”^_^
They are such a great match. 他们好般配!
* Matchmaking: 相亲
* Matchmaker: 媒人
“介绍认识,做媒”这件事则可以说:
* Set someone up (on a date):
介绍某人认识(约会)
* Blind date:(由他人安排的)男女初次约会
* Online dating: 线上交友;网上约会
* Pressure to get married is universal.
关于单身Single
英语里没有“单身狗Single dog”的说法,比较接近的是:
* Singleton: 单身人士
单身狗的说法有些自嘲可怜的意思,但单身并不一定就非常可怜。
* Eligible bachelor/ bachelorette: 单身贵族
“Be single until you are not. Just go with your gut, until you find the one.”
