點滴英語天天學第60期:戀之語(拓展語彙5)

從古至今，戀愛有3個階段。第一階段是“尋求戀情”，第二階段是“戀情帶來的興奮和激動”，第三階段是“戀情的終止”。既然戀愛是我們生活中的一個重要部分，當然有很多表示關於愛情的俚語。下面，我們就繼續來學習它們。

1. heavy petting

釋義：It refers to sexual touching; foreplay. 譯爲：親暱的身體接觸，性愛撫，性挑逗等。

例句： Al and Sue got into some heavy petting last night. （昨晚，Al和Sue親熱着了。）

Jack and Jane should not enjoy heavy petting in public.（Jack 和Jane不該在公共場合親暱。）

You can be sure there's a lot of heavy petting going on under those bleachers. （你可以肯定的是有很多人在露天看臺下親熱。）

2. all over each other

釋義：指兩個人形影不離，黏黏乎乎

例句：Ron and Emily were all over each other during today's church service. （在今天的禮拜儀式中Rom和Emily一直形影不離，黏在一塊兒。）

Peter and Jenny had been all over each other for 5 years but they broke up for no reason just a few days ago.（Peter 和Jenny形影不離5年了，但就在前幾天不知爲什麼分手了。）

3. breadwinner

釋義：靠工作養家餬口

例句：Susie is an attorney and Tom is a janitor. It is obvious which one is the breadwinner in that family. （Susie是律師，Tom是看門人。他們家裏誰養家是擺着的事情了。）

When the breadwinner is ill, his children will do anything rather than starve.（大人病了，兒女們做賊做娼也比餓着強！）
