　　I don't want to be a third wheel.

　　我不想當(dāng)電燈泡。

　　be a third wheel直譯過(guò)來(lái)就是：“做第三個(gè)輪子”，自行車上裝第三個(gè)輪子表示累贅，引申到男女約會(huì)時(shí)表示：“多余的第三者，當(dāng)電燈泡”。因此，當(dāng)美國(guó)人說(shuō)"I don't want to be a third wheel."時(shí)，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"I don't want to be an unwanted third party on a date."、"I don't want to disturbyou two."、"I don't want to be the needless one."。
