Chinese women who are dating non-Chinese guys often express various issues which displease them – and the issues are mostly due to cultural differences. One of our forum readers sent us a list of what he considers the ten most common complaints of Chinese girlfriends。
那些和非華裔的男生交往的華人女孩常常會對各種事情吐槽,讓她們的男友感到郁悶——她們吐槽的原因往往是出于文化差異。一位讀者向我們的網(wǎng)絡(luò)論壇寄了一份清單,列舉了他認為中國女友最愛吐槽的十句話。
1. You don't carry my handbag!
你不幫我拎包!
Most foreign boyfriends believe that carrying a handbag of a girlfriend is basically the opposite of manliness. But this is a very common demand of Chinese girlfriends. Chinese girls usually carry useless and unnecessary stuff in their bags。
大多數(shù)的外籍男孩都相信,為自己的女朋友拎包是完全有違男士作風(fēng)的行為。然而中國女友卻常常要求他們這樣做。中國的女孩子們喜歡在她們的包里放上各種用不上,也沒必要帶著的東西。
2. You don't text or call me three times a day!
你沒有一天三遍給我發(fā)短信或者打電話!
Chinese girlfriends usually demand that you stay in contact with them during the day and show that you care for them by calling or sending them text messages at least two or three times a day。
中國的女友常常要求你必須每天與她保持聯(lián)系,還要每天給她打兩三個電話或者發(fā)兩三個短信,以表示你對她的關(guān)心。
3. You don't meet me often!
你和我見面的時間太少!
If you don't visit or meet your girlfriend often she will call you selfish and this is a word Chinese girls use if you don't do something they want. However, for foreigners this word does not seem so strong and they consider it quite normal to be called selfish。
如果你不常常去女朋友家串門或者約她見面,她就會說你自私——如果你不按她的要求做某件事,她就會用這個詞來指責(zé)你?墒,在外國人看來,這個詞似乎無關(guān)痛癢,他們認為自私是很正常的。
4. Give less time to your friends!
少花點時間陪你的哥們!
Sometimes, Chinese girls will complain that they don't like your friends, but this is not exactly true: They just want the guy to spend less time with his friends and more with them。
有的時候,中國女孩會抱怨說她不喜歡你的哥們兒,但這并不是她真正的想法:她只是想要男友少花點時間陪自己的朋友,多花點時間陪自己。
5. Why don't you take me to the bar?
你為什么不帶我一起去酒吧呢?
She will often complain that you don't take her when you go out to a bar and she will accuse you of not taking her because of various reasons。
她會常常抱怨說,你去酒吧喝酒的時候沒有帶她一起去,她會以各種理由指責(zé)你不帶她一起去。
6. No fashion sense
不懂得時尚潮流
She wants you to dress like she wants you to dress and she wants you to look like she wants you to look. Chinese dress sense is very different to other countries and it's quite difficult to follow。
7. You don't know Chinese culture。
你不理解中國文化
You will hear this sentence very often from your Chinese girlfriend - that you should learn more about Chinese culture and start following it。
你會常常聽到你的中國女友對你說這句話——你應(yīng)該多學(xué)學(xué)中國文化,并且要身體力行。
8. Eat more!
多吃點!
It sounds weird but it's true: A Chinese girlfriend will suggest that you eat more and "get healthier". The more you eat the healthier you will be - this is a Chinese saying and they truly follow it and try it on their boyfriends。
這聽起來有點詭異,但的確如此!中國女友會勸你努力加餐飯,“多吃多健康”。也就是說,你吃得越多,身體就越健康。——這是一個中文諺語,她很相信這個說法,還在男友身上驗證這個說法。
9.Eat less!
少吃點!
Sooner or later you will start eating more and another complaint you will get is that you eat so much. Your Chinese girlfriend will start saying that you should eat less and this will be good for your health. Suddenly, the above-mentioned Chinese saying and perception will change。
或早或晚,你開始努力加餐,這時她又開始抱怨你吃得太多了。你的中國女友開始說你應(yīng)該少吃點,這對你的身體健康有好處。忽然之間,之前她踐行的中文諺語和養(yǎng)生觀念就變樣了。
10. Shopping
購物
Last but not least, Chinese girlfriends will complain to you that you do not take her shopping. Yes! She is right - take her shopping often, even window shopping. She wants to hang out with you。
最后但也最重要的是,中國女友會抱怨你不帶她去購物。是的,她是對的!——你要常常帶她去購物,甚至只是隨便看看。她就是想和你一起出門逛逛。
