地道英语:老外也会“抛媚眼”(在线收听

   Jessica在北京学汉语,她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词,就会来请教她。今天是Lulu要问的:抛媚眼。

  JESSICA: Lulu,What's up?
  LL: 我要去赴约,有人请我吃饭!
  JESSICA: 这么好?
  LL: 那当然! 请客的是一对情侣,俩人是在我家的Party上认识的,所以我算他们的媒人,他们当然要请客啦! 当时,那女生一眼就看上那男生了,马上向他狂抛媚眼! 就是……呃……threw pretty looks at him.。。
  JESSICA: Haha! 我明白了,She made eyes at him. To make eyes at someone means to flirt with someone。
  LL: 哦,to make eyes at someone就是向某人抛媚眼。你知道么,有些人喜欢乱放电。比如我认识一男生,He makes eyes at every young woman he knows! 他对认识的女生都乱抛媚眼!
  JESSICA: Oh yeah? I bet he also uses lame pickup lines to those women。
  LL: Pickup line我听说过,就是跟女孩儿搭讪时说的话,对不对?
  JESSICA: Exactly! For example, the typical pickup line at the bar is "can I buy you a drink?"
  LL: 还有那句老掉牙的:小姐,我们在哪儿见过吧?
  JESSICA: Haha! Seems like you've been asked this question many times!
  LL: 呵呵。别说我了,还是说我那两个朋友吧,真是有缘人,在我家见了一次面,就好上了!
  JESSICA: They really hit it off!
  LL: Hit if off? 打什么了?
  Jessica: No. To hit it off means to like each other very quickly。
  LL: 哦! Hit it off就是一见如故,才聊两句就觉得特对路!我这两个朋友——They hit if off instantly! I won't be surprised if the girl shows off her engagement ring to me tonight!
  Jessica: Wow, good for her! Now tell me what you've learned today!
  LL: 第一,make eyes at someone是冲某人抛媚眼;
  第二,pickup line是和女孩儿搭讪时所说的话;
  第三,hit it off是一见如故。
