写给20岁的你 和那些幼稚行为说拜拜吧
4. Social networking your relationship.
网络社交。
It’s such a stereotypically high school thing to do. Notifying Facebook every time you and your significant other have a squabble is a perfectly idiotic combination of obnoxious and immature. Couples’ quarrels are normal, but your friends/family shouldn’t be alerted about each one of them via Tweets and status updates. Yes, that includes the oh-so-subtle, back-and-forth song lyrics and quotes that are clearly projected at each other. Honestly it makes your relationship look shitty, and all of us wish you’d break up.
这么俗套的事情也只有高中的时候比较热衷罢了。要是你每次跟“亲爱的他/他”怄气就更新Facebook状态,简直是个傻瓜,既幼稚又令人讨厌。恋人吵架很正常,但你也没必要不断更新状态搅得亲朋好友不得安宁吧?哪怕你用歌词和引用之类的来含沙射影,也还是很烦人。而且说实在的,你这么做只会让人觉得你俩的关系很糟糕,还不如早些分手呢!
5. Mispronouncing pronounceable words.
拼错不该拼错的单词。
Calling spaghetti “pasquetti” isn’t cute anymore. Speech impediments are one thing, but baby talk in an attempt to be adorable should stop entirely.
现如今把意大利面(spaghetti)说成“pasquetti”早已不流行了。其实,语言障碍是一回事,但为了装可爱而嗲声嗲气说话的习惯却真要不得。
6. Picking your nose.
挖鼻孔。
Seriously, just grab a tissue. If I walk in a room and you jerk your hand away from your face, then begin to roll something between your index finger and thumb, I know you’re guilty.
说真的,还是抽张餐巾纸吧!要是我走进房间一眼看到你正煞有介事地抠鼻孔,肯定会认为你这人太没素质。
