Jessica在北京學(xué)漢語，她的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎么說的詞，就會來請教她。

YL: Jessica! 跟你說件事兒。

Jessica: Go ahead.

YL: 我不久前碰到高中時同桌的男生，和他聊得特投機! 我們一起看電影，吃飯，跳舞......太開心了! 我好象喜歡上他了!

Jessica: You mean you "developed a crush on him?" Crush is spelled c-r-u-s-h, crush. It means atemporary love.

YL: 哦，crush 就是一時迷戀，動心。Jessica, I think I developed a major crush on him.

Jessica: 楊林，你不是有男朋友么?

YL: 呃......我也為這事兒發(fā)愁呢，不知道誰是我的真命天子。

Jessica: 真命天子?那不是皇帝么?

YL: 哈哈，是皇帝沒錯?？梢粋€女生的真命天子就是她真正的伴侶。這用英文怎么說呢?

Jessica: Oh, you're talking about "Mr. Right"! Mr. Right refers to the perfect man for you.

YL: Mr. Right? right是“對，正確”，所以 Mr. Right 就是各方面都跟我特別合適的男人， 我的真命天子!

Jessica: Exactly! So who looks like your Mr. Right, your boyfriend or this high school classmate?

YL: 我也不知道! 你說我該選擇哪個呢?

Jessica: Well, I think you should choose the one who is your soul mate.

YL: soul mate? s-o-u-l, soul是靈魂的意思，mate 是伴侶，所以soul mate 就是靈魂伴侶嘍?

Jessica: 沒錯! Your soul mate is the person with whom you have deep and natural love. It's veryspiritual.

YL: 和那人心有靈犀一點通，這感覺太美好了!

Jessica: 好了，Let's see what you've learned today!

YL總結(jié)筆記:

第一：對某人產(chǎn)生好感，是 to develop a crush on someone

第二：女孩子的真命天子， Mr. Right

第三：靈魂伴侶，叫做 soul mate

你學(xué)會了嗎?
