⇨ go outgo out phrasal verb go out ♦︎ see ♦︎ date ♦︎ be together ♦︎ court ♦︎ wooThese words all mean to have a romantic relationship with sb. 这些词均表示与某人谈恋爱。■ go ˈout phrasal verb (goes, went, gone) (used especially in the progressive tenses 尤用于进行时) (especially of young people) to spend time with sb and have a romantic or sexual relationship with them （尤指年轻人）与某人谈恋爱（或有性关系）◆Tom has been going out with Lucy for six weeks.汤姆和露西相恋六周了。◆How long have Tom and Lucy been going out?汤姆和露西相恋多久了？■ see (saw, seen)[transitive] (used especially in the progressive tenses 尤用于进行时) to spend time with sb and have a romantic or sexual relationship with them 与某人谈恋爱（或有性关系）◆Are you seeing anyone at the moment?你现在是不是跟什么人好上了？■ date [transitive, intransitive] (used especially in the progressive tenses 尤用于进行时) (especially NAmE) to spend time with sb and have a romantic or sexual relationship with them （与某人）谈恋爱（或有性关系）◆She's been dating Ron for several months.她和罗恩谈恋爱已有几个月了。◆How long have you two been dating?你们俩谈恋爱多久了？ see also date ⇨ meeting 2 , date ⇨ partner 2 NOTE 辨析 Go out with, see or date?These expressions are all commonly used in the progressive tenses with time expressions such as how long, for three months, etc. This suggests a temporary relationship that may or may not lead to sth more serious or permanent. Date is not used much in British English and is just beginning to sound old-fashioned in American English. Both go out and date place an emphasis on going out to different places and doing things with your partner, but see does not. 这三个词语均用于进行时态，带有how long、for three months等时间状语，意味着恋爱关系为时尚短，不确定是否会发展成更认真或长久的关系。date在英式英语中用得不多，在美式英语中也开始显得有些过时。go out和date都强调和伴侣去不同的地方约会，但see无此义。■ be together phrase (rather informal, especially spoken) to have a romantic or sexual relationship with sb, especially one that has continued for a period of time （尤指持续一段时期地）与某人谈恋爱（或有性关系）◆We've been together seven years－that's practically married, isn't it?我们在一起已经七年－这实际上等于结婚了，不是吗？■ court [intransitive, transitive] (old-fashioned) to have a romantic relationship with sb, especially sb that you would like to marry in the future （尤指和有意结婚的对象）谈恋爱◆At that time they had been courting for several months.当时他们已经谈了好几个月恋爱了。◆He courted Jane for two years before she finally agreed to marry him.他追求了简两年，简才终于答应嫁给他。ⓘ Court is now quite an old-fashioned term, but it is still used to talk about people in the past. Older people may also use it to talk about their relationship before they were married. * court现在是相当过时的说法，但仍用于谈论过去的人。年长者也可能会用以指自己结婚之前的关系◆Your grandfather and I were still courting at the time (= we spent time together as a couple, but were not married yet).当时你的祖父和我仍在谈恋爱。 see also courtship ⇨ relationship 2 ■ woo [transitive] (old-fashioned or literary) (of a man) to try to persuade a woman to love him and marry him （男子）追求（异性）；（向女人）求爱◆He wooed her with flowers, poetry and compliments.他奉上鲜花、诗歌，并极尽赞美之词向她求爱。 |
