這樣的搭訕不給力!
Here are 10 pick-up lines (搭訕語) that you should not use.
1. See my friend over there? He wants to know if you think I’m cute.
2. It’s a good thing that I have my library card. Why? Because I am totally checking you out! (See Note 1)
NOTE 1 | To check out someone means to look and examine them because you are interested in or attracted to them. (slang)
Example: That guy just checked you out.
However, to check out something from the library means to borrow it.
Example: Can I check out this book?
3. If a fat man puts you in a bag at night, do not worry because I told Santa I wanted you for Christmas.
4. Do you believe in love at first sight (一見鍾情), or should I walk by again?
5. Are you a parking ticket? Because you’ve got FINE (See Note 2) written all over you.
NOTE 2 | To describe someone as fine means: that person is very sexy, beautiful, attractive, gorgeous, hot, or just overall good-looking. Be careful though, because girls would rather hear you tell them they are beautiful, than fine. (slang)
6. You may fall from the sky, you may fall from a tree, but the best way to fall…is in love with me. (See Note 3)
7. So did it hurt? When you fell from heaven?
NOTE 3 | To fall in love with someone means “墜入愛河” in Chinese.
8. If I could rearrange the alphabet, I’d put U and I together.
9. Are you a magnet? Because I’m attracted to you.
10. You must be tired because you’ve been running through my mind all day. (See Note 4)
NOTE 4 | If something has been running through your mind all day, it means that you have been thinking about it, all day.
Lines that may actually work.
1. “What kind of dog is that?”
2. “Hey, nice shoes.”
3. “Don’t I know you from Spanish class?”
4. “Excuse me, are you (insert name)?”
5. “Let me buy you a drink.”
