【转发】Ghosting 突然消失 |

Neil:

Feifei, why are you cutting holes in that bed sheet?

Feifei:

我在给今天晚上的聚会准备服装呢。我准备打扮成一个女鬼 "a female ghost"。What about you?

Neil:

I don't really feel like it, Feifei.

Feifei:

I thought you were bringing your new girlfriend?

Neil:

Sadly not. She hasn't replied to any of my messages for a whole week.

Feifei:

Oh, sorry, Neil. Looks like she's ghosting you.

Neil:

No, like I just said, she's not coming tonight. You'll be the only ghost at the party, I'm afraid!

Feifei:

我上面说的 "ghosting" 和 "鬼" 没有关系。"Ghosting" 是一个现代英语俚语。如果你 "ghost" 某人，意思就是你突然停止和这个人的一切交流，没有任何解释。

Neil:

Oh, right. Yes, she doesn't answer my calls, doesn't reply to my texts.

Feifei:

That's ghosting. 有些人会用突然消失 "ghosting" 的方法来结束一段恋情，正可谓是神出 "鬼" 没，人间蒸发。

Neil:

So, are you saying she wants to split up with me?

Feifei:

I don't know, but it's not a very nice way to treat people. "Ghosting" 除了可以指在恋爱中，一个人 "突然消失"，它也可以用来描述朋友之间突然不再联系对方。Anyway, help me cut this second eye out of my ghost costume while we play some examples.
