今日主题——“放鸽子”用英语怎么说？

你放过别人鸽子吗？

或者你被放过鸽子吗？

放鸽子 = ？

放鸽子 ≠ fly the dove

放鸽子 ＝ stand somebody up

Iwent on a blind datea little while ago, but the guy just stood me up.

I really believe that blind dates usually end up bad!

go on a blind date  去相亲

a blind date = an arranged meeting between a man and woman who have not met each other before 陌生男女间的约会

end up bad  结局不好

被放鸽子 = ？

被放鸽子 ＝get stood up by sb.

He’s supposed tobe here 10 minutes ago. I guess I got stood up.

be supposed to... 理应...

爽约者 = ？

爽约者 ＝a no-show

= If someone who is expected to go somewhere fails to go there, you can say that they are a no-show.

 The bad weather meant there were a lot of no-shows at the game. 

天气不好导致有很多人没来观看比赛。
