原本經(jīng)常聯(lián)絡的幾個朋友,忽然有一個好久都沒消息了。一打聽,原來是忙著談戀愛呢。這種情況通常會被朋友們稱作“重色輕友”或者“有異性沒人性”。英文里對這個情況的稱呼更加形象生動,就一個詞:hiberdating。
Hiberdating means dating in the winter months, or the situation that someone ignores all their other friends when they are dating a boyfriend/girlfriend. The second meaning is more popular. The word hiberdating is a blending of the word “hibernating” and “dating”, which means a person is in a state of inactivity(hibernating) among friends when dating someone.
Hiberdating指在冬季約會戀愛,或者指某人在談戀愛期間忽略其他朋友的情況,也就是我們常說的“有異性沒人性”。第二種用法更普遍一些。Hiberdating這個詞是hibernating(冬眠)和dating(約會)兩個詞的合成詞,由此便可知它的意思是一個人在約會戀愛期間中斷與朋友聯(lián)絡的狀況。
For example:
I haven't seen or heard from Jennifer since she started hiberdating Teddy four months ago.
自從4個月前詹妮弗跟泰德約會以來,我就一直沒有過她的消息。
