Kate Johnson教授生活方式的英语专栏
英文情话亦绵绵
法语可能被称为恋爱的专属语言，其实英语同样拥有一整套恋爱专用语。这里就有一些简单而适用于谈论男女朋友的表达方式。
1. Love makes the world go round. 一些人认为有钱能使鬼推磨。但对于那些真正的浪漫主义者来说，爱才是生命中最重要的东西。
2. Your better half. 这是指你的男友或女友。你还可以称你的恋人为'my other half' - 但你的better half听起来要比your other half舒服的多！
3. The light of my life. light of your life是那个让你欢笑，感觉非常甜蜜的人 ！你还可以称你的爱人为， "Darling, you light up my life".
4. She drives me crazy!不，这可不代表她要把你逼疯了！ 如果有人drives you crazy，他们正是那些让你心跳加速的人。例如，"You're crazy about Amy, why don’t you ask her out?"
5. Falling in love. 坠入爱河可比仅仅去爱一个人更意义深远。爱一个人是非常美妙的，但要坠入爱河更多的意味着你的生活中已经再也离不开此人了！记得一定不要太早对你的女朋友／男朋友说 "I'm falling in love with you" 。最好是先等到你真正弄清自己感情再说也不迟。
6. Perfect match.你找到自己的绝配了吗？你的perfect match正是－那个在各方面都和你非常相衬的人。我们有时还用'soul mate'来表达。
7. Seeing, Dating, Going steady.第一次和一个人约会时，你一定不想弄得很严肃的样子。 你可能会说'I'm seeing someone'。过了一阵子，你开始dating 此人。最终，你和这个人go steady。意思是你们俩正式成为了男女朋友。
8. You are too good to be true! 如果你觉得一个人对你而言好的简直不真实了，你就可以这么说。你还可以说you are like a dream come true。
9. Significant Other. 这是用第三人称的方式称呼你的恋人或爱人。因此你可以说Can I bring my Significant Other to the party?，而不是这么说Honey, you are my Significant Other。
10. Love at first sight. 这是指两人第一相遇就一见钟情。 如果你也坚信其可能性，那你也一定是个不折不扣的浪漫主义者了！

Q:Dear Kate,
My friend and I are going to visit New York at the same time but we are staying at different hotels. I am supposed to call her hotel when I arrive, but I not sure what to say. When I call, is it better to say "Is Yoko Takahashi there" (my friend name) or "I want to speak to room 525?" Mayu, Tokyo, Japan A:Dear Mayu, If you know your friends room number, then it's best to say "Can you connect me to room #525, please?" The hotel representative will most likely ask you for the guest's name to confirm that you know her. Best, Kate
Q:Dear Kate,
There is a foreign girl I am liking very much but I do not know what to say to her to make her like me too. Can you please help me, Kate! Wong, China A:Dear Wong, hat's lovely that you've found a girl that you like. You don't want to scare her away, so make sure that you don't show all of you feelings until you know she feels the same way about you. Why don't you start by asking her to a low-commitment activity such as getting a cup of coffee or a drink? The next time you see her, try saying something like "Would you like to grab a cup of coffee" or "How about a drink tonight?" Based on her response, you will know if she is interested in you at all or not. Best, Kate
