The other half of your relationship. Your other half is simply your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife.
英語中可以把情侶中的一方,男朋友,女朋友,丈夫或妻子統(tǒng)稱為 the other half 。
注意嘍,“那位”尤其適用于老夫老妻或是有長期關系的情侶。你想啊,連名字、稱謂都省略了,那兩人的關系得多熟啊。
You would be more likely to use this for a boyfriend or girlfriend you have been with for a long-time--so it would be someone you are in a long term relationship with.
另一點要注意的是,you usually use it to talk about your other half with someone else。Other half 一定是在和第三者談話的場合使用。你和自己的“那位”談話的時候可就別“那位,那位”的叫了。
用法實例:
1
A: So are you coming to Jess' party?
B: Yeah I'll be there. Can I bring my other half?
2
A: So are you going on holiday this year?
B: Yes, me and my other half are going to America to visit some friends for a couple of weeks.
3
A: Well I've got to go--my friend and her other half are staying and we're going out for a meal.
B: I've got to get back to my other half.
先說到這里。我去找我的“那位”my other half,你去找你的“那位”your other half吧。“那位”的說法是不是很實用: )
