中英文對(duì)話：Other Half (一對(duì)情侶中的) 那一位

Jo: Welcome to Real English from BBC Learning English. I'm Jo and with me today is Lily.

Lily: Hello there. 很多聽(tīng)眾都熟悉我們的地道英語(yǔ)，這個(gè)節(jié)目專(zhuān)門(mén)向大家介紹英式英語(yǔ)中最流行的詞匯和成語(yǔ)，其中很多都是字典上查不到的。 Jo 今天我們要學(xué)習(xí)的新短語(yǔ)是什么?

Jo: Well, we're going to take a look at the expression other O.T.H.E.R. half H.A.L.F. other half.

Lily: Other half? 另一半？ 什么的另一半呢 Jo?

Jo: The other half of your relationship. Your other half is simply your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife.

Lily: 這很有意思，英語(yǔ)中可以把情侶中的一方，男朋友，女朋友，丈夫或妻子統(tǒng)稱(chēng)為 the other half – 就像漢語(yǔ)中我們常說(shuō)的你那位。

Jo: You would be more likely to use this for a boyfriend or girlfriend you have been with for a long-time – so it would be someone you are in a long term relationship with.

Lily: 長(zhǎng)期的情侶關(guān)系，也就是說(shuō)， other half 這個(gè)短語(yǔ)多用于那些老夫老妻或有長(zhǎng)期關(guān)系的情侶。

Jo: And you usually use it to talk about your other half with someone else.

Lily: 另一點(diǎn)要注意的是， other half 一定是在和第三者談話的場(chǎng)合使用。 Let's have an example shall we?

Examples

A: So are you coming to Jess' party?

B: Yeah I'll be there. Can I bring my other half?

A: So are you going on holiday this year?

B: Yes, me and my other half are going to America to visit some friends for a couple of weeks.

Lily: Well I've got to go – my friend and her other half are staying and we're going out for a meal.

Jo: Yes and I've got to get back to my other half.

Lily: 我那位，my other half 你那位， your other half. 好，這就是今天的新詞匯， 怎么樣? 如果有興趣了解更多的新詞新語(yǔ)， 只需登陸我們的網(wǎng)頁(yè)就可以了進(jìn)入雙語(yǔ)教學(xué)頁(yè)面之后， 點(diǎn)擊 Real English.
