Feifei, why are you cutting holes in that bed sheet?我在給今天晚上的聚會準備服裝呢。我準備打扮成一個女鬼 "a female ghost"。What about you?I don't really feel like it, Feifei.I thought you were bringing your new girlfriend?Sadly not. She hasn't replied to any of my messages for a whole week.Oh, sorry, Neil. Looks like she's ghosting you.No, like I just said, she's not coming tonight. You'll be the only ghost at the party, I'm afraid!我上面說的 "ghosting" 和 "鬼" 沒有關係。"Ghosting" 是一個現代英語俚語。如果你 "ghost" 某人,意思就是你突然停止和這個人的一切交流,沒有任何解釋。Oh, right. Yes, she doesn't answer my calls, doesn't reply to my texts.That's ghosting. 有些人會用突然消失 "ghosting" 的方法來結束一段戀情,正可謂是神出 "鬼" 沒,人間蒸發。So, are you saying she wants to split up with me?I don't know, but it's not a very nice way to treat people. "Ghosting" 除了可以指在戀愛中,一個人 "突然消失",它也可以用來描述朋友之間突然不再聯繫對方。Anyway, help me cut this second eye out of my ghost costume while we play some examples.Katya felt awful for weeks after being ghosted by a guy she really liked.
Keiko wanted to break up with her boyfriend but didn't want to upset him. So when he suddenly started ghosting her, she actually felt relieved.
Jorge and Rafa used to hang out all the time at school. But once they started university, Jorge just ghosted Rafa.
Feifei:
這裡是 BBC英語教學的 "地道英語" 節目。在這集節目中,我們給大家介紹現代俚語 "ghosting" 的意思和用法。And, Neil… there we are! One ghost costume. Thanks for your help.
Neil:
Oh, I just want to know why, Feifei. Why is she ghosting me? What did I do wrong?
Feifei:
Neil, that's the difficult thing about ghosting. You won't get those answers. Sorry.
Neil:
Oh, it's her.
Feifei:
哎,快看看她說什麼?
Neil:
"Sorry, Neil. I lost my phone last week and only just found it again. Call me. Kiss."
Feifei:
There you go!
Neil:
She sent a kiss! Feifei, let's make her a costume — I'm going to invite her to this party.
Feifei:
OK! One more ghost costume?
Neil:
No, I think I've had enough ghosts for one day.
Both:
Bye.
