地道美語怎麼說 第58課:異地戀
JESSICA 在北京學漢語，她的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎麼說的詞，就會來請教她。今天是吳瓊要問的：異地戀。
JESSICA:吳瓊，what's your plan for the weekend?
WQ:I'll be out of town! 我得坐4個小時飛機去看我男朋友!
JESSICA:Boy! That's a long flight! 你真是個好女朋友。
WQ:沒辦法啦。異地戀就是這麼辛苦。Jessica, 異地戀用美語要怎麼說呢？
JESSICA:That's long-distance relationship. So, how long have you guys been long-distance?
WQ:We've been dating for a couple of years now. 不過，他最近因爲工作被調去外地兩年，我們剛剛開始異地戀。I miss him so much, and I don't know if we can survive the long-distance!
JESSICA:Don't be sad, 吳瓊! I know dating over long-distance can be hard, but you got to have faith in the relationship! Hmm, tell me, what do you like about your boyfriend？
WQ:他啊，最大的優點就是真誠，不做作。
JESSICA:So he's a blue-collar kind of guy!
WQ:blue collar? 那不是藍領工人麼？
JESSICA:Yes. But if you say a man is a "blue collar kind of guy", it doesn't necessarily refer to his job. Rather, it's about his down-to-earth, unpretending character.
WQ:I see. My boyfriend is a blue-collar kind of guy. 我就喜歡他這純樸勁兒。
JESSICA:So what does he like about you?
WQ:哈哈，他也喜歡我清純，親切，不做作。那我就是blue-collar kind of girl了？怎麼聽着這麼彆扭。
Jessica:Hmm, you can use the phrase "the girl next door".
WQ:The girl next door？ 哦，就是鄰家女孩! 沒錯，My boyfriend says I'm nice and attractive, just like a girl next door! 不過，這次去找他，I don't want to be the girl next door anymore! 我要打扮得豔麗一些，給他個驚喜!
Jessica:I hope he likes it! Now tell me what you've learned today!
WQ:第一：異地戀是long-distance relationship；.
第二：形容男人質樸老實，可以用blue-collar kind of guy；
第三：親切可愛的鄰家女孩是the girl next door.
