“读书约会”让你找到潜在爱侣

发布时间：2019-08-05 编辑：查字典英语网小编

国内的《非诚勿扰》大行其道的时候，伦敦的文艺青年们却把读书作为浪漫的约会方式。难道书中真的有颜如玉吗？让我们一起来看看什么是读书约会(read dating)吧。

Read dating is a method of meeting a potential romantic partner by attending an organized event in which a person meets a series of individuals and talks briefly to each of them about a favourite book.

通过与一连串的人简单谈论最喜欢的书来寻找潜在的爱侣，这种方法就叫读书约会。

“读书约会”让你找到潜在爱侣1

Read dating is essentially speed dating for bookworms, so that instead of familiar conversation starters such as 'Where do you work?' or 'What do you like to do in your spare time?', participants are more likely to discuss their favourite Keats poem or the latest Dan Brown novel.

读书约会实质上是书虫的速配，因此，不同于一般速配中熟悉的开场白，如“您在哪儿工作？”或“您业余时间都喜欢干什么？”，参与者更可能会讨论他们最喜欢的济慈诗歌或者丹•布朗最新的小说。

Budding soulmates are still only allowed a meagre three minutes to share their literary experiences before moving on to the next person, not a huge amount of time to decide whether they've met a prospective life partner.

处于萌芽期的灵魂伴侣也只有可怜的三分钟来分享文学体验，之后就要和下一个人交流，尽管三分钟不足以让他们判断是否遇见了有希望成为人生伴侣的人。
