“小三”用英語(yǔ)怎么說(shuō)

Jessica 在北京學(xué)漢語(yǔ)，她的中國(guó)朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語(yǔ)怎么說(shuō)的詞，就會(huì)來(lái)請(qǐng)教她。今天是吳瓊要問(wèn)的：“小三”在英文里怎么說(shuō)?

Jessica: Wuqiong, 給我介紹一部好看的中文電視劇吧!

WQ: 嗯……最近很流行小三劇，Do you like to watch "little three" shows，Jessica?

Jessica: Little three? What's that?

WQ: 小三啊!你不知道嗎? 就是外遇、情婦、第三者的意思。小三美語(yǔ)怎么說(shuō)?不是 little three 嗎?

Jessica: Haha! 小三 is called a mistress, or "the other woman."

WQ: 哦，我知道了，妻子以外的那個(gè)女人， the other woman就是小三。這些小三真可惡!人家夫妻好好的，她非要來(lái)插一腳。

Jessica: Calm down, I'm sure your boyfriend doesn't have one。

WQ: 那當(dāng)然。但我要是有朋友當(dāng)別人的小三，我一定罵她，叫她不要去破壞別人家庭!這句話美語(yǔ)要怎么說(shuō)?

Jessica: 你可以告訴她， Don't be a home-wrecker。

WQ: Wreck是動(dòng)詞，有破壞的意思，所以 home-wrecker就是破壞家庭的人。一提起小三我就……

Jessica: Wuqiong, you should really stop watching those TV shows, they're not good for you!

WQ: 可是劇情很吸引人啊!我喜歡看她們勾心斗角。怎么說(shuō)?

Jessica: In English, we use the verb scheme. To scheme means to make secret and devious plots。

WQ: 我明白了，耍心眼，勾心斗角就是 to scheme. 哎呀，不早了，我得趕快回去看電視了!

Jessica: Hold on, before you leave, tell me what you've learned today!

WQ: 第一，小三叫 mistress 或者 the other woman;

第二，破壞別人家庭的人是 home wrecker;

第三，耍心計(jì)是 to scheme!
