“One time是什么意思?”

“一次”

“那two-time呢?”

“两次啊!!”

很多人在第一眼看到“two-time”时,

会下意识地翻译为“两次”

其实这是错误的!!

two times 两次

例句:

I have been to China for two times.

我来中国两次了。

You can use some of the words two times.

有些单词你可以用两次。

two-time

脚踏两条船,对...不忠 ,欺骗,背叛

相传在1924年,美国肯塔基州有个刑事案件,罪犯因“同时拥有两位性伴侣”而酿成祸事,警方称当事人“have two at a time”。后来“have two at a time”简略成two-time,用来表示那些不时沾花惹草的行为。】

例如:

I ended the relationship when I found out he was two-timing me.

当我发现他脚踏两条船时就与他吹了。

Tom was two-timing on her grilfriend, so they broke up.

汤姆脚踏两条船,所以他女朋友跟他分手了。

说某人是对爱情不忠,脚踏两条船的人,就可以用 two-timer 来表示她/他

例如:

He has two girlfriends and is a two-timer.

他竟然有两个女朋友,真是脚踏两只船。

lady friend

例如:

Women who has no money and no career are at risk of reduced to a lady friend.

没钱没事业的女人大部分都有沦为小三的危险。

No lady friend existence, who go to identify your distraction love.

没有小三的存在,谁去鉴定你们那些扯淡的爱情。

home wrecker 家庭破坏者,小三

例如:

I do not appreciate your attempt to smear my reputation and paint me as the home wrecker.

我并不欣赏你试图诬蔑我的声誉、以及把我描述成一个家庭的破坏者。

She's a home wrecker.
