俗話說，「三人行，必有一個電燈泡」。你有過當「電燈泡」的經歷嗎？
「電燈泡」，本意指白熾燈（bulb），現在也常比喻「男女談戀愛時礙手礙腳又不知趣的第三人」，與英文流行語「third wheel」意思相近，表示「an unwelcome or extra person」，就像多餘的輪胎一樣。
例句：
當凱利邀請我去看電影時，我不知道她的男朋友會和我們一起去。整個晚上我都覺得自己像個電燈泡。When Kelly invited me to go to the movies, I didn't know that her boyfriend would be joining us. I felt like a third wheel the entire night.
我很想和你們一塊兒出去，可我不想當電燈泡。I'd love to go out with you, but I hate to be a third wheel.
