“電燈泡”怎么說?
Donny在北京學漢語，他的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎么說的詞，就會來請教他。今天是瓊燕要問的：電燈泡。
QY: Happy Friday, Donny! 你今天晚上有什么計劃嗎?
Donny: Hmm, not yet. What do you have in mind?
QY: Lets go salsa!! 我今晚要跟兩個朋友去跳salsa, 可他們倆是一對，我可真不想夾在中間，當大電燈泡--very bright light bulb!
Donny: I see. You dont want to be the third wheel.
QY: The third wheel?
Donny: Yep! Wheel is spelled w-h-e-e-l. The third wheel, 第三個輪子, its a very colloquial way of saying a third person joining a couple in a social context.
QY: 沒錯!我就是不想當 the third wheel!
Donny: Exactly, you wouldnt want to bother any love birds, right?
QY: Wait! Love birds? 愛的鳥兒?
Donny:Yep! In English, we often use the word love birds to refer to a couple who are openly affectionate, especially in public. 就是大庭廣眾之下卿卿我我。你不想打擾這對love birds吧?
QY: 可不是嗎!不過這兩個人很配!They are a great match!
Donny: Oh thats nice! You can also say, they are a match made in heaven.
QY: A match made in heaven? 那不就是中文里說的天生一對嘛!
Donny: There you go! Since you dont want to be the third wheel, I will go with you! But first, lets see what you learned today!
QY: 第一：電燈泡叫做：the third wheel ;
第二，如膠似漆的情侶，可以說 love birds ;
第三，天生一對是，a match made in heaven .
