本周地道英語 Smirting 以借火和某人搭訕
Tina:
大家好，我是Tina。Why are you looking so happy James?
James: Well, earlier today, I was outside on my telephone, when a lady asked me for a lighter.
Tina:
打火機。
James: Yes, I think she might have been trying to smirt with me.
Tina:
他想和你干什么
smirt?
James: Yes, smirt, S.M.I.R.T, smirt. Now smirt is a slang word to describe flirting with another person when you are smoking.
Tina: It sounds like smoking and flirting have been joined together to make the word smirting.
James: Exactly, that is how the word smirting is created.
Tina:
原來是這個意思，今天早上問 James 借火的這個女孩子其實對 James 有好感，所以以借火為由和他搭訕。
James: Yes, but I didn’t have a lighter, because I don't smoke, so that was the end of the conversation.
Tina: Was she pretty?
James: She was very pretty.
Tina: Oh well. She'll probably be there tomorrow if you want to talk to her again. 現(xiàn)在在英國幾乎所有的公共場所，像辦公室，飯館兒，就是禁煙的，所以想抽煙的朋友們只能去戶外抽煙。 What do people usually say when they are smirting?
James: It depends. Here is an example of some people smirting:
Example
A: Hi, could I borrow your lighter?
B: Sure.
A: Thanks. Are you new here?
B: Yeah, I just started in the IT department.
A: Oh great, I work in the office right next to you.
B: I guess we'll be seeing a lot of each other.
Tina: All this talk of smirting is making me feel a little lonely. 不知道我什么時候才能遇到夢中的白馬王子呀！
James: You do know that smoking is bad for you and that there are healthier ways to meet a nice guy than to smirt.
Tina: I know.
