· "谈情说爱"专用英语
美国人尽管喊了多少年的「性开放」，但很多美国人在谈情说爱方面，仍然喜欢采用一些含蓄保守的句或语句，表现文明和礼貌。
to have a crush on (someone)；to feel an instant magnetism；['mægnitizəm]to catch one's eyes；to hit it off；to be attracted to each other.这些片语，都是描写男女间互相倾慕，两情相悦，有吸引力或一见锺情。例如：* He (she) has a crush on her (him) (他对她十分爱慕) 。* He felt an instant magnetism when their eyes met. （他们见面时，他立即感到磁性般的吸住）。意指女的外表吸引; 如果是 she felt …… 那么就是指男的外表吸引。* A nice-looking girl caught his eye.（漂亮的妞儿吸住）。 注意：不用 eyes。* He was introduced to a pretty woman and they seem to hit it offimmediately.（他被介绍给一位漂亮女子後，他们似乎就一见锺情）。 或* They were attracted to each other the moment their eyes met.
例如说，女对男的没有兴趣，那么也可以说：* She did not feel any attraction toward him.（她对他毫无兴趣); 或* He is the man for whom she feels no attraction, catch or no catch.（不管他的条件好或坏，她对他就是没有兴趣）。这里的 catch，可指财富、地位、名望和外表。to be a lady's man (或 ladies' man)；to be a prince on a white horse；to be a womanizer. 这些都是指男人英俊潇洒，作风奔放，野性旺盛，喜欢在「女人窝」里。例如：* Mr. Lin has been considered a prince on a white horse.（林先生被认为是白马王子。）这是中古时代女子对男人的梦中理想，然而现在也有老外认为美男子应该是：全身盔甲灿烂光辉的王子。* He is a prince in a shining amour.（动词时态：shine, shone 或 shined。）* Many people think that Mr. Smith is a real lady's man.（或 a realwomanizer）(许多人认为史密斯先生喜欢在女人窝里。）*As a casanova, he has many girl friends.（由於他是美男子，他有许多女友。）（Casanova 是意大利人，据说是顶尖的美男子，他的全名是：Casanova de seingalt Giovanni Giacomo 在此casanova 被当做普通名词，故 c 不必大写。如果形容男人外表魅惑力大，能使女人「如饥似渴」般崇拜他，也可以说：* He has melted her down and made her knees buckle.（他把她溶化了，使她拜倒他的西装裤下）。这句话老外通常不用在男人身上，也许因为男子应该比较坚强些吧！或且说：* So many women swarmed him like bees to thehoney.（许多女人看到他，就像一群蜜蜂见到蜜那样蜂拥而至。）倘若说：…… like flies to the garbage 指像一群苍蝇喜欢垃圾那样，当然就不是恭维了。to be a beauty queen; to be a dream boat;to be a cutie; to be a babe;to be a fox.这些都是形容女人漂亮，曲线玲珑，身材曼妙，挥身性感或散发一种性感的野性。例如：* She is a beauty queen.（= very beautiful）* She is a cutie.（= pretty and attractive）（漂亮迷人）* She is a dream boat.（= ideal type of woman）（理想女人）* She is a babe.（= very beautiful and attractive）* She is a fox.（= She is a foxy lady = She is sexy.）（她很性感）。注意：如果说： She is as sneaky（或 cunning）as a fox. 又是指她像狐狸一样的狡猾。假如女人能使男人拜倒她的石榴裙下或神魂颠倒那么就能说：* Her beauty （attraction） has caused his knees to shake. （或 toquiver）（她的漂亮迷人使他膝部发抖）。或* She made him feel up there in the clouds.（= on clouds nine = on the top of the world）（她使他神魂颠倒，飘飘然如仙。）其实，所谓「情人眼里出西施」（Beauty is in the eyes of beholder），世上的美或丑，只是主观的看法而已。to fall in love with （someone）；to fall head over heels in love; to love （someone） from head to toe.都是指男欢女爱，沉溺情海，或是爱得晕头转向。例如：* They have fallen in love with each other for years.（他们相爱多年）。（动词时态：fall, fell, fallen）* He fell head over heels in love with her.（= He fell for her head over heels = He is head over-heels in love with her.）（他与她沉溺情海，爱得晕头转向。）多半指很快落入情海。
* He loves her from head to toe.（他从头到脚地爱她）。多指经过较长时间後才热恋, 或
* He falls madly in love with her.
至於男女热恋时「目中无人」或「形影不离」，也可以说:
* They are two peas in a pod. （他们像豆荚里的两粒豆子--即形影不离。）
* They only have eyes for each other（and forget the entire world.）（世界上似乎只有他们两个人。）

Note: 美国人觉得金发女生blonde girls最美丽了。很多美国人都把她们的头发漂白成金色的，叫bleach your hair. 不过虽然她们喜欢blonde girls, 可又认为美丽的女生没大脑，所以就特别喜欢取笑blonde girls,因此也就有了blonde jokes,也就是金发美女没大脑的笑话。有些真的很毒 some are very mean! 这些blonde jokes 通常是用脑筋急转弯的方式呈现的。Here are a few for you:
Q: How do you make a blonde girl's eyes twinkle?A: Shine a flashlight in her ear.
问：你知不知道要怎么让一个金发美女的眼睛亮晶晶发光？答：只要用手电筒照进她耳朵就可以了。
Do you get it? 懂吗？因为blonde girls脑袋空空，所以手电筒的光可以直接从耳朵通到眼睛那里，眼睛就亮晶晶了！毒不毒？(Pretty mean, huh?)
Q: How do you get a blonde girl on the roof? A: Tell her that the drinks are on the house.
问：要怎么样才能把金发美女骗上屋顶？ 答：告诉她饮料免费就可以了。
on the house字面上是"在房子上面"的意思，但这里是一个片语，意思是"免钱，店长请客"。比如说在酒吧喝酒，有时候酒保会请你喝一杯，他就会说"This one is on the house" （这杯我请客）。不过笨笨的blonde girl连简单片语都听不懂，就傻傻爬到屋顶上找酒喝了。（是不是我们也会理解成在房顶上有酒啊？恐怖，别打我哦，我不是故意的）
