📖 基本释义
[verb] behave as though attracted to or trying to attract someone, but for amusement rather than with serious intentions
[动词] 表现得好像被人所吸引或者试图吸引某人,但只是出于消遣目的,而非真情实意
💡 深入解读
Flirt 这个单词想必对不少小伙伴来说都不算陌生,其常见含义为“调情”,强调以消遣玩乐为目的,而非意在建立正式严肃的恋爱关系,常用搭配flirt with sb,比如:说到调情,相对于直接露骨,他更喜欢较为端庄或含蓄的方式。
When it comes to flirting he prefers a more demure or reserved approach to one that is overt.那恬不知耻的女人几乎在跟房间里的每一个男人调情。
That brazen woman was flirting with just about every man in the room.用作名词时, flirt 自然表示“调情者、卖俏者”,多指喜欢与多人调情的“调情老手”,比如:她是个打情骂俏的老手。她这略有受损的公众形象已没办法挽回。
She's a real flirt. There is no way to salvage her somewhat tarnished public image.而与 flirt with sb 相对应的flirt with sth则相应表示“不认真地考虑或对待某事、对……暂时感兴趣”或者说“玩儿似地想做某事”,比如:那个低声下气的女孩总是喋喋不休地抱怨别人对她多么不好,脑子里一直浮现着辞职的念头。
The abject girl's always bleating about how badly she's been treated, and she's been flirting with the idea of leaving her job.她年纪更小一些时曾闹着玩似地想过当迎宾员。
She flirted with the idea of becoming an usher when she was younger.
俗话说“玩火者必自焚”,无论是到处调情还是玩儿似地想做这做那,往严重了说 flirt with sth 就是“故意冒(险)、不顾危险后果”,强调故意使自己暴露在危险或困难之下,比如:和许多年轻人一样,他也喜欢冒险。结果,他在一起摩托车事故中多处骨折并且重度伤残。
Like a lot of young men, he flirted with danger. In consequence, he suffered multiple fractures and got seriously crippled in a motorcycle accident.
