英文我对相亲的理解(相亲用英语怎么说)(1)

今天的知识点来了

1、“相亲”用英语怎么说?

①blind date

英文释义:

a romantic social meeting between two people who have never met each other(由他人安排的)男女初次约会。

blind是盲目的,date是约会,约会对象是互相不认识的,所以blind date可以解释为相亲。

例句:

Pikachu arranged for me to go on a blind date with a guy from her office.

皮卡丘安排我与她办公室的一个小伙子相亲。

英文我对相亲的理解(相亲用英语怎么说)(2)

go on a blind date 去相亲

例句:

My aunt convinces me to go on a blind date with her neighbor’s son.

我姨一直劝我和她邻居的儿子相亲。

②matchmaking /ˈmætʃmeɪkɪŋ/

n.做媒;牵线搭桥

例句:

He did not welcome his parents' attempts at matchmaking.

他不喜欢父母安排的相亲。

Chinese parents traditionally involve themselves closely in their children's marriages and consequently place even more pressure on children who say they don't want to ever get married.

一直以来,中国父母对子女的婚姻介入得过于密切,因此对那些声称不想结婚的孩子施加了更大的压力。

2、“催婚”英语怎么说?

我们先复习三个单词,push推动,urge催促,pressure 施加压力

push/urge/pressure sb to get married 催婚

例句:

Why do you push me to get married? I am only 20 years old.

你们为什么要催我结婚,我才20岁。

像皮卡丘这种长得又帅又幽默的人,当然是不用相亲的啦,想结婚了就直接求婚。
