Partner can suggest a more serious and long-term relationship than girlfriend or boyfriend. A partner is usually sb that you live with; you may or may not live with a girlfriend or boyfriend. Partner can also suggest a more mature relationship, so teenagers and young people have boyfriends/girlfriends more than partners, although this does not mean that the relationship will not last a long time or develop into something more serious. * partner与girlfriend、boyfriend相比，可暗指关系更认真、更长久。partner通常指同居者，但girlfriend或boyfriend也许是同居者，也许不是。partner还可以指较成熟的关系，因此年轻人多用boyfriend或girlfriend，少用partner，但这并不意味着关系不会持久，也不意味着不会发展成更认真的关系◆I've been going out with my girlfriend for seven years and she wants us to get married.我和女友相恋七年了，她希望我们结婚。 ■ man [countable] a husband or boyfriend 丈夫；男友◆What's her new man like?她的新男友怎么样？◆I now pronounce you man and wife (= you are now officially married).我现在正式宣布你们结为夫妇。■ date [countable] (especially NAmE) a person with whom you have arranged a romantic meeting, who might become a boyfriend or girlfriend 约会对象◆My date is meeting me at seven.我的对象7点钟和我见面。 see also date ⇨ go out phrasal verb ■ fiancée /fiˈɒnseɪ, fiˈɑːnseɪ; NAmE ˌfiːɑːnˈseɪ/ [countable] the woman that a man is engaged to (= has agreed to marry) 未婚妻◆Paul and his fiancée were there.保罗和他的未婚妻在那里。■ fiancé /fiˈɒnseɪ, fiˈɑːnsseɪ; NAmE ˌfiːɑːnˈseɪ/ [countable] the man that a woman is engaged to 未婚夫◆Linda and her fiancé were there.琳达和她的未婚夫在那里。■ sweetheart /ˈswiːthɑːt; NAmE ˈswiːthɑːrt/ [countable] (becoming old-fashioned) a person with whom sb is having a romantic relationship 恋人；爱人；心上人◆They were childhood sweethearts.他们俩青梅竹马。ⓘ Sweetheart is now a rather old-fashioned word, except in the phrase childhood sweethearts.
