地道美语怎么说 第4课:分手

JESSICA 在北京学汉语，她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教她。今天是Lulu 要问的：分手。
JESSICA: Lulu! Too bad you have to fly to Shanghai for your friend's wedding next month. 我本来想约你一起去听演唱会呢！
LL: 嗨，别提了，要结婚的那俩个人，分手啦! Say Bye-Bye啦!
JESSICA: What? Did they break up?
LL: 分手就是 break up？ b-r-e-a-k, break. u-p up. 没错，分手啦! 这俩人特神，婚期定了，喜贴发了。结果，上礼拜那个女生给我来电话说，她和那男生分手了! 是不是该说 She broke up with her boyfriend？
JESSICA: Yes. Break up with someone 就是跟某人分手。不过，Lulu, What happened? Why did they break up?
LL: 听说是那个男生劈腿!
JESSICA: What's 劈腿？
LL: 就是...他还跟别的女生好。He has another girlfriend.
JESSICA: Really? He cheated on the girl he was gonna marry?
LL: 等会儿，我知道 cheat 是“欺骗”，你说的 cheat on her，就是背着她和别人好，“劈腿”的意思，对不对？
JESSICA: That's right!
所以啊，你说，都快结婚了，却发现 Her boyfriend cheated on her, 这女生能不跟他一刀两断吗？！
JESSICA: There you go! Cut their ties! If I were her, I would not give that guy another chance either!
LL: Cut their ties？ T-i-e-s, ties 就是联系。Cut their ties 就是彻底断绝关系，一刀两断喽？
JESSICA: 没错! Now let's see what you've learned today!
LL: 第一，情侣分手是 break up；
第二，劈腿，对伴侣不忠，是 cheat on someone；
第三，说俩人一刀两断叫 cut their ties!
