170710372谈情说爱含蓄表达法美国人在谈情说爱是，喜欢采用一些含蓄保守的词句或语句，表现文明和礼貌。以下举一些例句，仅供参考。 to have a crush on (someone)；to take a shine to sb./fall in love with sb. at first sight to feel an instant magnetism； to catch ones eye； to turn sb. on to hit it off； to have the hots for (someone)；to be attracted to each other. 这些片语，都是描写男女间互相倾慕，两情相悦，有吸引力或一见锺情。 例如： * He (she) has a crush on her (him) (他对她十分爱慕) 。 * He felt an instant magnetism when their eyes met. （他们见面时，他立即感到磁性般的吸住）。 意指女的外表吸引; 如果是 she felt 那么就是指男的外表吸引。 * A nice-looking girl caught his eye.（漂亮的妞儿chick flicks吸住）。 注意：不用 eyes。 * He was introduced to a pretty woman and they seem to hit it off immediately.（他被介绍给一位漂亮女子後，他们似乎就一见锺情）。 或 * They were attracted to each other the moment their eyes met. * When he met her, he had the hots for her.（当他见到她，他就对她爱慕不已。）(多半指 sexual attraction。) 例如说，女对男的没有兴趣，那么也可以说： * She did not feel any attraction toward him.（她对他毫无兴趣); 或 * He is the man for whom she feels no attraction, catch or no catch.（不管他的条件好或坏，她对他就是没有兴趣）。 这里的 catch，可指财富、地位、名望和外表。 to be a ladys man (或 ladies man)； to be a prince on a white horse/Prince Charming；a charming prince to be a Casanova(n.卡萨诺瓦式的人, 风流子)； to be a womanizer. 这些都是指男人英俊潇洒，作风奔放，野性旺盛，喜欢在女人窝里。例如： * Mr. Lin has been considered a prince on a white horse.（林先生被认为是白马王子。） 这是中古时代女子对男人的梦中理想，然而现在也有老外认为美男子应该是：全身盔甲灿烂光辉的王子。 * He is a prince in a shining armor.（动词时态：shine, shone 或 shined。） * Many people think that Mr. Clinton is a real ladys man.（或 a real womanizer）(许多人认为柯林顿先生喜欢在女人窝里。） *As a Casanova, he has many girl friends.（由於他是美男子，他有许多女友。） （Casanova 是意大利人，据说是顶尖的美男子，他的全名是：Casanova de seingalt Giovanni Giacomo 在此 casanova 被当做普通名词，故 c 不必大写。 如果形容男人外表魅惑力大，能使女人如饥似渴般崇拜他： * So many women swarmed him like bees to the honey.（许多女人看到他，就像一群蜜蜂见到蜜那样蜂拥而至。） 倘若说： like flies to the garbage 指像一群苍蝇喜欢垃圾那样，当然就不是恭维了。 to be a beauty queen; to be a dream boat; to be a cutie; to be a babe; to be a fox. 这些都是形容女人漂亮，曲线玲珑，身材曼妙，浑身性感或散发一种性感的野性。 例如： * She is a beauty queen.（= very beautiful） * She is a cutie.（= pretty and attractive）（漂亮迷人） * She is a dream boat.（= ideal type of woman）（理想女人） * She is a babe.（= very beautiful and attractive） * She is a fox.（= She is a foxy lady = She is sexy.）（她很性感）。 注意：如果说： She is as sneaky（或 cunning）as a fox.又是指她像狐狸一样的狡猾。 假如女人能使男人拜倒她的石榴裙下或神魂颠倒那么就能说： * Her beauty （attraction） has caused his knees to shake. （或 to quiver）（她的漂亮迷人使他膝部发抖）。或 * She made him feel up there in the clouds. （= on clouds nine = on the top of the world）（她使他神魂颠倒，飘飘然如仙。） 其实，所谓情人眼里出西施（Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder），世上的美或丑，只是主观的看法而已。 to fall in love with （someone）； to fall head over heels in love;
