Donny在北京學漢語，他的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎么說的詞，就會來請教他。今天是瓊燕要問的：電燈泡。
QY: Happy Friday， Donny! 你今天晚上有什么計劃嗎？ Donny: Hmm, not yet. What do you have in mind? QY: Let's go salsa!! 我今晚要跟兩個朋友去跳salsa, 可他們倆是一對，我可真不想夾在中間，當大電燈泡--very bright light bulb! Donny: I see. You don't want to be the third wheel. QY: The third wheel? Donny: Yep! Wheel is spelled w-h-e-e-l. The third wheel, 第三個輪子, it's a very colloquial way of saying a third person joining a couple in a social context. QY: 沒錯！我就是不想當 the third wheel! Donny: Exactly, you wouldn't want to bother any love birds, right? QY: Wait! Love birds? 愛的鳥兒？ Donny:Yep! In English, we often use the word love birds to refer to a couple who are openly affectionate, especially in public. 就是大庭廣眾之下卿卿我我。你不想打擾這對love birds吧? QY: 可不是嗎！不過這兩個人很配！They are a great match! Donny: Oh that's nice! You can also say, they are a match made in heaven. QY: A match made in heaven？ 那不就是中文里說的天生一對嘛！ Donny: There you go! Since you don't want to be the third wheel, I will go with you! But first, let's see what you learned today! QY: 第一：電燈泡叫做：the third wheel; 第二，如膠似漆的情侶，可以說 love birds; 第三，"天生一對"是，a match made in heaven. |
