A : There is a society ball this Saturday. I think you may want to come. At your age, you should be playing the field.
這週六有一個舞會,我想你或許會參加吧。你這個年齡,應該多去見識一下。
B : Ok, but it is the first time I attend this kind of activity. I just do not know how to behave.
好啊,不過我是第一次參加這樣的活動,我不知道搞真麼做。
A: You have to present yourself well. Maybe you need a boy as ticket to the inner circle. I should say Tony is good choice.
你要好好表現自己, 或許你需要一個男孩作為進入核心交際圈的門票,我覺得Tony是一個好的選擇。
B: Ok. He is that kind of guy that will not cause a scene. I will call him.
好的,他不是那種出什麼簍子的男孩,我會打電話給他。
第二,語言點解析:
1. It is a society call.
Ball的基本意思是“球”,但是在這裡是指(正式的,盛大的)舞會。例如:Who will open the ball tonight?今晚誰帶頭跳第一支舞。此外,ball 還可以表示“快樂的時光”,have a ball就相當have a fun,表示“玩得開心,玩得快樂”。
2. At your age, you should be paying the field.
Play the field是一個習慣用語,意思是“從事多種活動,多給自己機會,多試試看”。在社交場合中表示“多交朋友,多見世面”。
例如:We're in college now. You can play the field and meet lots of new college girls.我們現在上大學了,可以見世面,認識很多大學女孩了。
