英语情景对话：放鸽子英语怎么说？Kat在北京学汉语，她的遥朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教她。
遥是杨琳要问的是放鸽子。
Kat:Yanglin, what's wrong with you?
why are you so mad?
YL:我遥太倒霉了！
我被人放鸽子了！
Kat:鸽子？
I'm sorry.
Am I missing something?
Because there are no pigeons here.
.
.
YL:Well.
.
.
放鸽子的意思嘛……就是你跟别人约好，结果对方却没来！
美语里这个该怎么说呢？
Kat:Oh!
You had arranged to meet somebody, and then that person was a no-show!
YL:A no-show？
哦，我明白了。
No-show就是没来，爽约。
Kat:Yes!
But Yanglin, who was this no-show?
Your boyfriend?
YL:嗯……怎么说呢。
我约好去见一个从来没见过面的男生，是别人介绍的，就算是……相亲吧！
Kat:Oh, I got it!
!
You had a blind date!
YL:A blind date?
就是相亲吗?
Kat:Exactly.
So when you arranged to meet someone that you've never met before, and go out on a date, that's what we call a blind date.
The only problem is these blind dates don't usually turn out very well, do they?
YL:就是!
I waited for this guy for a whole hour!
就像这个男生，直接放我鸽子，害我白等，真不像话！
Kat:In this case, you say I got stood up!
我被人放了鸽子。
YL:stood up？
站着？
我可没站着傻等啊！
Kat:不是不是不是。
If you stand somebody up, it means you don't turn up for your arranged event.
YL:哦！
我明白了！
不去约会，放别人鸽子，叫 stand someone up。
而我是被放鸽子，所以你说我--got stood up！
Kat:Exactly！
太聪明啦！
Alright, let's go over what we've learned today!
YL:遥，爽约，没来，可以说no-show;第二，放别人鸽子，可以说stand someone up;第三，相亲可以说blind date！
