发布时间：2016-02-29 编辑：查字典英语网小编

　　Donny在北京学汉语，他的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教他。今天是琼燕要问的：电灯泡。

　　QY: Happy Friday, Donny! 你今天晚上有什么计划吗?

　　Donny: Hmm, not yet. What do you have in mind?

　　QY: Lets go salsa!! 我今晚要跟两个朋友去跳salsa, 可他们俩是一对，我可真不想夹在中间，当大电灯泡--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, 第三个轮子, its a very colloquial way of saying a third person joining a couple in a social context.

　　QY: 没错!我就是不想当 the third wheel!

　　Donny: Exactly, you wouldnt want to bother any love birds, right?

　　QY: Wait! Love birds? 爱的鸟儿?

　　Donny:Yep! In English, we often use the word love birds to refer to a couple who are openly affectionate, especially in public. 就是大庭广众之下卿卿我我。你不想打扰这对love birds吧?

　　QY: 可不是吗!不过这两个人很配!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? 那不就是中文里说的天生一对嘛!

　　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：电灯泡叫做：the third wheel ;

　　第二，如胶似漆的情侣，可以说 love birds ;

　　第三，天生一对是，a match made in heaven .
