大家都很討厭那些說話說一半，吊起別人胃口，然后各種追問都不回答的那種人。這種討厭的行為就是Conversational Blue Balls（對話藍球）。

When someone brings up a topic when talking but immediately drops it and refuses to switch back to the dropped topic, leaving the other hanging in the middle of a conversation. This annoying thing is called “Conversational Blue Balls”.

當某個人談話間提到某個話題而忽然又轉(zhuǎn)換話題避而不談剛才的話題，把對方的胃口吊在那里。這種討厭的事就是“對話藍球”。（注意是藍球不是籃球哦）

Here is an example of Conversational Blue Balls:

"Goodness, did you hear about what happened?"

"What happened?"

"Anyways, I'm gonna go."

"Wait, what happened?"

"Oh, don't worry about it."

看一個“對話藍球”的例子：

“老天啊，你聽說發(fā)生的事了嗎？”

“發(fā)生了什么事？”

“沒什么，我得走了?！?/p>

“等等，發(fā)生什么了？”

“哦，別管那個了。”

Dude, Jane TOTALLY gave me Conversational Blueballs yesterday. We were on AIM and she asked if I had heard about the party and she never answered when I asked about it.

老兄，簡昨天真是給了我一個“對話籃球”。我們在AIM上聊天時她問我有沒有聽說過關(guān)于派對的事，我說沒有，然后我問她派對的事她再也不回答我了。
