An old story goes that once there were four single men, leading very boring lives. None of them were married, or had lovers, or did anything exciting. They just sat around all day and played Mahjong.
故事從四個(gè)過(guò)著單調(diào)生活的單身漢說(shuō)起。他們沒(méi)有人結(jié)婚，連女朋友都沒(méi)有，日子過(guò)得無(wú)精打采，終日打麻將度過(guò)。
One day they played Mahjong from 11 in the morning until 11 at night. During the game, no matter who won, the winning card was always the ’four columns’ card (the card shows four independent, parallel columns in two lines). Even more of a coincidence, it was Nov 11, or 11/11. In order to commemorate the day, they nicknamed it Singles Day.
有一天他們打麻將從早上11點(diǎn)打到了晚上11點(diǎn)。奇妙的是，不管誰(shuí)贏，都贏在了“四條”上。更加巧合的是，這一天正是11月11號(hào)。為了紀(jì)念這一天，他們給它命名為“光棍節(jié)”。
University culture 大學(xué)傳統(tǒng)
Singles Day was first celebrated at various universities in Nanjing, capital city of Jiangsu Province during the 1990s. It got the name Singles Day because the date is comprised of four "ones". These college students have
since graduated, and carried their university tradition into society. Singles Day is now a special day for all fashionable youths.
光棍節(jié)最先在90年代的江蘇南京各大高校興起。之所以叫“光棍節(jié)”是因?yàn)檫@一天的日子有四個(gè)光棍一樣的“1”。大學(xué)生們畢業(yè)了，把這個(gè)傳統(tǒng)帶到了社會(huì)上，光棍節(jié)就成了時(shí)尚青年們的一個(gè)特殊節(jié)日。
The main way to celebrate Singles Day is to have dinner with your single friends, but it’s important that each person pay their own way to show their independence. People also hold ’blind date’ parties in an attempt to bid goodbye to their single lives.
主流的慶祝方式就是和光棍朋友們一起搓一頓，而且一定要實(shí)行AA制。為了脫離單身，人們也會(huì)舉辦相親會(huì)，介紹單身男女認(rèn)識(shí)。
Creative celebration 新奇慶祝
For breakfast on Singles Day, singles often eat four youtiao (deep-fried dough sticks) representing the four "ones" in "11.11" and one baozi (steamed stuffed buns) representing the middle dot.
光棍節(jié)的早上，單身青年們會(huì)吃四根油條，代表11.11的四個(gè)“1”，再吃一個(gè)包子，代表11和11之間的那個(gè)點(diǎn)。
Many singles also choose to say goodbye to their single lives on this day. Many attend ’blind date’ parties and many people choose to marry on this day. In addition to meaning ’single’ the four ’ones’ of the date can also mean ’only one’ as in ’the only one for me.’ Some people will use this date and this
meaning to tell their special someone that they are the only ’one’ in their heart.
很多單身朋友選擇在這一天告別單身，一些人參加相親會(huì)，一些人則在今天結(jié)婚。四個(gè)“1”不僅可以代表單身，還可以代表“唯一”，這也成了一些人的愛(ài)情告白日。

光棍節(jié)的由來(lái)傳說(shuō)及必備英語(yǔ)
上傳: 李盛鵬 更新時(shí)間：2011-11-13 10:58:47
如果1是最孤單的數(shù)字，單身人士看今天的日期能夠感受六次寂寞。2011年11月11日，六個(gè)“1”被網(wǎng)友稱為百年一遇的巨型光棍節(jié)。從事哪些職業(yè)的人最容易過(guò)這個(gè)節(jié)日呢？
我們來(lái)看一段英文報(bào)道：
the chinese single people's association released a list - 11 careers in china that prospective partners shun the most - on the eve of singles' day.
zhang yiyi, who called himself the president of the association, said that poets, highly-admired in the past, topped the list of those having careers that were being seen as the most undesirable. on the list, secretaries are ranked at number two, for the reason that they "do not have a good reputation". lawyers finished at number three.
中國(guó)單身者協(xié)會(huì)在光棍節(jié)前夕公布一份榜單，榜單上是最不易找到伴侶的11大職業(yè)。 該協(xié)會(huì)會(huì)長(zhǎng)張一一稱，詩(shī)人在過(guò)去備受尊崇，現(xiàn)在列于最不受歡迎的職業(yè)之首。 根據(jù)該榜單，秘書排名第二，因其職業(yè)帶來(lái)的名聲不太好。律師位列第三。
講解：
文中的“singles' day”即“光棍節(jié)”的意思。光棍節(jié)還可以用guanggun festival來(lái)表示�！肮夤鳌钡挠⑽臑閎achelor或singles，singles為復(fù)數(shù)形式。導(dǎo)語(yǔ)中的“百年一遇的巨型光棍節(jié)”可以表達(dá)為the ultimate singles' day of the century。轉(zhuǎn)自
戲說(shuō)“光棍節(jié)”英語(yǔ)
一年一度的光棍節(jié)到啦！還是單身的你，準(zhǔn)備好怎么慶祝了嗎？或者說(shuō)，準(zhǔn)備好怎么“脫光”（擺脫光棍）了嗎？
這個(gè)所謂的“光棍”，在英語(yǔ)中是怎么表達(dá)的呢！
最簡(jiǎn)單的說(shuō)法是"single"。雖然“光棍”一詞非常形象且喜感滿滿，但其實(shí)說(shuō)到底就是“單身”嘛。因此平時(shí)我們用"single"一詞足以表示“光棍”了。例如：
she remained single all the life. 她一直單身。
此外，還有一個(gè)詞也可以表達(dá)單身的意思，即bachelordom，是從bachelor一詞發(fā)展來(lái)的。 bachelor在這里可不是“學(xué)士”的意思哦，而是我們所說(shuō)的“光棍”、“單身漢”啦，這個(gè)詞是指未婚男子，如果是是未婚女子，可以用maiden（少女）一詞。我們知道，“bachelor”還可以表示“獲學(xué)士學(xué)位的人”。那么，為什么這個(gè)詞既是“光棍”又是“學(xué)士”的意思呢？有種說(shuō)法是以前的學(xué)校都是男女分校，也就是我們常說(shuō)的“unise-xual school”，導(dǎo)致學(xué)士都是光棍啦！不過(guò)究竟是不是這個(gè)原因就無(wú)從考證啦。例句：
he is a bachelor; once he is fed, no one is hungry in his family.
他是光棍兒一條，一人吃飽全家不餓。
那么，你知道“剩女”怎么說(shuō)嗎？是3s lady （single, seventies, stuck），即single(單身), stuck(被卡住的), seventies(大多是出生于20世紀(jì)70年代) 。
所以，“光棍節(jié)”的英文就是"singles day"或者"bachelors day"了。從語(yǔ)法的角度上講這些都是正確的，但是在西方人心目中day指所有人都可enjoy的節(jié)日，比如christmas day，但是咱們的光棍節(jié)只屬于“光棍們”所以用day表達(dá)，有些矛盾，老外也就不明白啥意思了。 他們覺(jué)得singles night 更地道一些，因?yàn)閚ight會(huì)讓老外想到party，singles night不僅解決了day的不妥，而且還包含了光棍節(jié)的主題活動(dòng)，“光棍節(jié)”一個(gè)中國(guó)原創(chuàng)的節(jié)日，singles night一個(gè)可以讓老外神會(huì)的譯法。if you are a single ,enjoy your singles night,說(shuō)不定你就會(huì)遇到你的ta，就可雙宿雙飛嘍say goodbye to your single life。轉(zhuǎn)自：
光棍節(jié)：singles day
give the eye 拋媚眼，送秋波
size up 估量；符合要求
1. have a crush on 迷戀某人
a: i'm having this huge crush on ted. i'm going to try and see if i can ask him out this weekend.
a: 我最近好喜歡ted 喔! 我想看看能不能約他這個(gè)周末出來(lái)。
b: well...but i heard that he is already seeing somebody.
b: 嗯……但是我聽(tīng)說(shuō)他已經(jīng)有了交往的對(duì)象了誒!
美國(guó)人關(guān)于交友的用詞和我們有些不同。這里的 "he is seeing somebody" 有可能指他剛正開(kāi)始和某人交往, 也可能指他和對(duì)方已經(jīng)交往了一陣子。還有一個(gè)美國(guó)人常用來(lái)形容他們的「感情狀況」的字是"relationship"。到目前為止，我還不能找到一個(gè)很貼切的中文來(lái)代替它。
不過(guò), 如果例句中的"...but i heard that he is already seeing somebody." 改成
"...but i heard that he is already is a serious relationship with
somebody." 就慘了。因?yàn)槟潜硎具@個(gè)叫ted 的男生不但是「死會(huì)」了, 而且是「非常地死會(huì)」。各位應(yīng)該可以大致抓到它的意思吧。
2. play hard-to-get 欲擒故縱
a: so she stood you up last night.
a: 結(jié)果, 她昨晚放你鴿子啦?
b: well, i guess she's trying to play hard-to-get.
b: 嗯, 大概想跟我玩「欲擒故縱」的游戲吧!
"stand someone up" 是「放某人鴿子」的意思。
"play hard-to-get" 也可以說(shuō)成 "play tough-to-get"。
3. hook up 介紹、送作堆
a: hey, how come you've never told me you have a cute sister...
a: 嘿! 你為什么從來(lái)沒(méi)告訴我你有一個(gè)這么漂亮可愛(ài)的妹妹?
b: what are you trying to say?
b: 你想說(shuō)什么呢?
a: well, you can hook me up, maybe?
a: 嗯..也許你可幫我介紹一下?
b: no way.
b: 休想!
"how come?" 是口語(yǔ)上經(jīng)常被用來(lái)代替"why"的字, 是「為什么」的意思。但是"how come"
跟"why"的用法是不同的。用"how come"時(shí), 句子的構(gòu)造很接近中文: 如: "how come you didn't call
me last night?" （你為什么昨晚沒(méi)打電話給我呢?）。這句話如果換成用"why"就須要用一般的問(wèn)句型式, 而成 "why
didn't you call me last night?"了。
美國(guó)人對(duì)于親屬輩份關(guān)系的區(qū)分, 并不像我們那么清楚。這里的 "sister" 可能指「姊姊」, 也可能指「妹妹」，須要另外問(wèn)才清楚。
"hook up" 是"connection"的意思, 相當(dāng)于中文里的「介紹、認(rèn)識(shí)」之類的詞,
并不單指男女之間的認(rèn)識(shí)。比如某人正在找份工作, 他的朋友剛好認(rèn)識(shí)比爾蓋茲（billgates）。他就可以跟這位朋友說(shuō)"hey!
since you're a friend of bill's, why don't you hook me up?" （嘿!
既然你是比爾的朋友, 幫我介紹一下吧!）
4. break up 分手
a: how are bob and pat doing?
a: bob 和pat 近來(lái)如何?
b: they broke up last summer.
b: 他們?nèi)ツ晗奶旆珠_(kāi)了。
"break up" 是「關(guān)系中止」的意思, 不限于男女之間的關(guān)系。"break-up" 是分手的名詞形。如: "they had an ugly break-up." （他們很不愉快地分手了。）
5. date （男女間的）約會(huì); 約會(huì)對(duì)象
a: dude, did you see that babe over there? i'm dating her.
a: 老兄!看見(jiàn)那邊那個(gè)美女沒(méi)有? 我正在跟她約會(huì)喔!
b: man, you're lucky.
b: 你真是運(yùn)氣好!
"babe" 是「令人垂涎」的美女或俊男。
「和某人約會(huì)」除了用 "date" , 還可以用 "romance"這個(gè)字。比如: "beck and ada have been dating for years." 可以說(shuō)成:"beck and ada have been romancing for
years.", 都是「beck 跟 ada 愛(ài)情長(zhǎng)跑多年的意思」。
注意名詞的" date" 和 "appointment" 不可混用?quot;appointment" 是男女以外的約會(huì), 如醫(yī)生、工作面談的約。萬(wàn)一你跟你的醫(yī)生說(shuō):"i'd like to have a date with you.",
他可能會(huì)眼睛、嘴巴都張得很大。
