虽说英文语法比中文灵活一些
一个单词能翻译成多种意思
但有的词真的不 能 随 便 用
比如说约完会男生对女生说
「我送你回家吧」
90%的人会翻译成
Let me send you home.
send 的确是「送」的意思啊
但这句话却是错的，错在哪呢
小手手点进来听答案吧~
笔记：
送某人回家：
accompany someone home
walk/drive someone home
send：
1. to ask or tell someone to go somewhere, especially so that they can do something for you there
有目的地送某人去某地,以期待别人为你做某事
Sunny sent Jack to buy subway.
Sunny要强子去买赛百味。
2. to arrange for something to go or be taken to another place, especially by post
邮寄给某人某物
Sunny sent Jack flowers for Mother's Day.
Sunny给强子送了母亲节的花。（强子：？？？）
send something off 邮寄 to send something somewhere by post
I sent off the letter this morning.我今天早上寄了信。
send-off 送行 a party or other occasion when people meet to say goodbye to someone who is leaving.
Before I went to travel, I had a big family send-off.
我出门旅游前，家人们都来送我。
a big send-off 欢送会 a happy celebration before departing.
I had a wonderful big send-off before I left. 我离开前度过了一个盛大的欢送会。
send chills up (one's) spine 毛骨悚然，背脊发冷 To cause an intense feeling of excitement, exhilaration, nervousness, or fear in one.
Can we get out of here? This creepy old house is sending chills up my spine!
我们能不能走啊，这个老房子真的要把我吓尿了。
send someone packing 打败某人，突然解雇某人。
I sent my enemy packing.
偶打败了偶的对手。
I couldn't stand him anymore, so I sent him packing.
我真的受不了他了，所以我把他开除了。
send ahead for something 提前做好准备
I will send ahead for a uber to meet us at the station.
我会提前叫一辆uber在车站等我们。
We sent ahead for room reservations at the hotel.
我们提前订好了酒店房间。
send (a) mixed message(s) 发送不清晰，令人误解困惑的信息。
My ex-girlfriend has accused me of sending mixed messages about our relationship, as if I'm trying to get back together with her.
我前女友说我给她发暧昧信息？说的好像我要和她复合哦！
总结一下
send sb to 是出于有目的的安排
所以男生送女生回家时应该说
It's too late,let me walk you home.
说到约会的话题就会想起 date 这个词
但在美国的约会文化中不是所有约会都叫 date
美国情侣从认识到在一起
要经历几个阶段的约会
刚开始认识之后约出去一起玩
这个约会叫做 hang out
如果两个人都对对方感兴趣
就会开始以交往为目的的 seeing 的阶段
seeing 时对彼此的好感是大于 hang out 的
感情再升温一点就是正式的 date 了
一般这次约会男女生都会精心打扮哦
和美剧里一样，在这之前男生会问女生
Can I ask you out for a dinner ?
女生会很惊讶地说：Is this a date ?
注意！这时候还是没有真正确定关系
几次 date 之后才能决定是否在一起
在这期间也许会跟多个人同时 date
这点可能有人会接受不了
但换个角度想，多花点时间
了解对方再确定 relationship
也是对这段感情负责任的体现吧
好啦~ 今天就聊到这里啦
Have a good weekend !

据说美国男生在求婚前
都必须经过女方爸爸的同意
所以女生被求婚的第一反应不
不是说 Yes or no，而是
「You asked my dad, right？」
说好的浪漫呢哈哈哈哈~
