“单身”的好玩称呼(图)

大家看过电影《布里奇特·琼斯的单身日记》(Bridget Jones's Diary)吗？Bridget Jones是个30多岁的女人，抽烟很凶，喝酒很猛，而且，她是个单身。她常常称呼自己为：singleton。

　　Singleton是现在老外在日常生活中经常使用的一个词。A singleton is a person who doesn't have a boyfriend or girlfriend, husband or wife. A singleton 就是一个既没有伴侣也没有配偶的单身。

　　对话范例：

　　A: Didn't you go on a date last night? How was it? Did you like him?

　　B: Well, I liked him but he didn't ask to see me again so I guess he's not interested. I suppose I'll just stay a singleton all my life!

　　A: Oh don't be silly, you'll meet someone soon.

　　就算现在单身，你也别想着终身独身啊。总有一天，你会遇到那个良人呢。月老可是早就牵好线了呢。听听过来人怎么跟我们说的：Well actually I'm married, but before I met my wife I was a singleton for a few years. 是吧，哪个人没有经历过单身的日子！

　　Singleton 应该算是个挺实用的单词。它通常都应用于非正式场合。它是一个非常有趣的俚语用法，并且，这个词不含有贬义和嘲弄的意思。
