過年親戚問有對象嗎,？你知道用英語怎么回答？

柳葉眉的柳葉刀

顯然,，老家的親戚不會用英語問你這個問題,，你也不必用英文答（如果你有特別牛的親戚，請無視這句）,。所以,，本篇僅供娛樂——咱們就是想看看老外在面對這個問題時都是怎么答的,。

親友同學最愛問的這句：

"Are you seeing anyone?"

“你有對象/男票/女票嗎？”

普通青年這么答：

1. "No."

“沒有,�,！�

2. "I'm dating around."

“一直在相親�,！�

3. "I'm not tied down yet."

“還沒遇到合適的,。”

4. "I've been dating someone for a bit, but I can't say for sure she is the one."

“見過幾個人,，但都覺得不太合適,。”

逗比青年這么答：

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,，他已經(jīng)有兩個孩子了,。你不是一直想要外孫嗎，這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,。。,。我最近加入了一個教派,，我們教的人都不相信人能有持久忠貞的感情。所以關于繁衍的問題,，我們都跟自己人內(nèi)部解決了,，正好也可以擴大教眾�,！�

3. "I see people all the time. I'm seeing you right now!"

“我一直在跟各種‘對象’見面啊,，你不也是我見面的對象之一嘛！”

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."

“講真,，我覺得折紙和編花籃是打發(fā)時間的好途徑,。你知道嗎，自單身以來,，我就喜歡上這兩個愛好了,。”

5. "Well, I've started training my dog for the circus, so that takes up a considerable amount of time."

“怎么說呢,，我最近一直在訓練我的狗,，想讓它進馬戲團。訓狗把我的時間都占去了,�,！�

6. "My dog fulfills my need for companionship. So do my cats...and my guinea pig."

“我已經(jīng)有狗狗作伴了，還有喵喵，還有我的荷蘭豬,�,！�

7. "Have you seen the majority of the male population lately?!"

“你最近沒聽說嗎，現(xiàn)在男性人口太多了,，有一部分只能打光棍了,？！”

8. Point to a random guy and say, "Him. We just don't like to interact in public settings."

隨便指著一個路人甲說：“他就是我男友,。一有其他人在,，我倆就不好意思說話了�,！�

9. "No...but someone proposed to me at a bar last week. Does that count?"

“沒有,。不過上周在酒吧有人跟我求婚了。那個算嗎,？”

10. "I'm joining a convent. I'm really looking forward to taking that vow of chastity."

“我剛加入了一所尼姑庵,，已經(jīng)等不及要宣誓永守貞操了�,！�

11. "I'm going to Rome for a year and I don't want to be tied down when I'm surrounded by all those Italian men who are just dying to bring me home to their mothers and feed me homemade pasta."

“我打算去羅馬待一年。一想到將要出現(xiàn)大把的意大利帥哥,，急著帶我見他們父母,、給我做意大利面吃，我就不著急相親了,�,！�

12. "I'm in love with myself. Isn't that enough?"

“我愛上我自己了，不也挺好嘛,？”（中國日報網(wǎng)）
