新东方托福词汇之“pre-relationship恋爱前期”

2015-10-27 13:16    新东方

  Prelationship is a relationship between people who are not yet but could become romantically involved. The two are probably seeing each other frequently and both have the intention to develop a romantic relationship. Maybe it is just a matter of time.

  Prelationship指两人交往但还没有到正式恋爱的阶段。两人可能经常见面约会,并且都有意发展恋爱关系。或许只是时机还没有成熟。我们可以称之为“培养感情阶段”。

  这个词是前缀pre和relationship的合成形式,表示是一段relationship开始之前的阶段。类似的词汇还有:prehistory(史前)、preschool(学前)、prepay(预付)等。

  For example:

  Mark and Stacy have been dating each other for three months but are still in the prelationship stage.

  Mark和Stacy已经约会3个月了,但还是处在培养感情阶段(没有正式确立恋爱关系)。
