Attention. The saying actually means there are lots of potential mates in the world. It is often used to console a person who has lost a girlfriend or boyfriend. 中文中我们有“天涯何处无芳草”,英文中却会说“海里的鱼可多着呢”. 当面对失恋的伙伴时候,不要忘记说一句:There are plenty of fish in the sea.
Examples:
- Looks like you're feeling very down! What happened?
- I just broke up with Jane.
- Oh, I'm sorry.I thought you two were made for each other.
- Well, I'm ready for a commitment and want to settle down, but she says she wants to pursue her career while she's still young.
-I don't know what to say to comfort you, but cheer up!There's plenty of fish in the sea and you'll find your soul mate, your perfect match!
-你看上去情绪低落。发生什么事情了?
-我刚和简分手。
-我很抱歉。我认为你们两个是天生一对。
-我已经准备求婚,想安定下来。但是她说她想趁依旧年轻时追求她的事业。
-我不知道该说些什么安慰你,但是打起劲来!天下何处无芳草,还有整片树林呢,你会找到你的心灵伴侣,你完美的另一半的! |
