在美國(guó)，約會(huì)有很多種類(lèi)，女孩子也可能同時(shí)跟好幾個(gè)男孩子約會(huì)（貌似在中國(guó)的一些大城市也差不多哦），并且處于不同的關(guān)系會(huì)有不同的說(shuō)法，這與我們中國(guó)的文化有太多的差異。這里我們給大家總結(jié)了一些約會(huì)與情侶關(guān)系間說(shuō)法。
1．怎樣約會(huì)？"Dating"or"Going out"
Date 和 go out 都可以表示異性朋友（尤其是有感情或是曖昧關(guān)系的）之間的約會(huì)，我們來(lái)看幾個(gè)例子，體會(huì)一下用法：
I dated him
when I was in college.
I've only had one date with him so
far.
We're going on a date this Saturday night.
Would you like to
go out together sometime?
2.約會(huì)的種類(lèi) Kinds of dates
約會(huì)當(dāng)然也有好幾種啦，快看看都有什么呢：
Blind date: two people have never met before (often
arranged by friends)
Double date: where couples get together to do
something
Hot date: date someone very attractive or used playfully for a
date with a friend or spouse
Going Dutch: date where each person pays his
or her share
3．處于戀愛(ài)關(guān)系中
當(dāng)一對(duì)男女處于戀愛(ài)關(guān)系中時(shí)，該怎樣描述呢：
They are in a relationship.
Is she seeing anyone now?
I think we are
going steady.
See someone 和 go steady 都表示"長(zhǎng)期和某人約會(huì)，處于戀愛(ài)關(guān)系中"。
4．"天生一對(duì)"的伴侶
看到一對(duì)幸福的伴侶，你心里一定會(huì)想到"天生一對(duì)"這樣的詞吧，那這樣的表達(dá)用英語(yǔ)該怎么說(shuō)呢：
They were made for each other.
Aren't they the perfect couple?
They are
a match made in heaven.
I think they are good together.
5．夫妻關(guān)系
如果兩個(gè)人成為夫妻，或是結(jié)成了長(zhǎng)期穩(wěn)定的伴侶關(guān)系，又該怎樣描述呢：
A couple: two people dating exclusively
例如：They are really nice couple.
An item: a couple who is the topic of gossip or interest.
例如：So are you
two an item now?
Sweet heart: girl friend or boyfriend; implies a sweet relationship
例如：He
married his high school sweet heart.
Lovers: a couple who show their affection openly
例如：Those two lovers just
got married last month.
6．露水姻緣
都說(shuō)情和性可以分開(kāi)，只是為了一時(shí)的尋歡作樂(lè)發(fā)生的情事也不少，像這樣的事情我們用下面的詞來(lái)形容：
Love affair 例如：He had a love affair with a French girl when he was studying
in France.
Summer fling 例如：It was nothing serious; it was just a summer fling.
