Jenny在美国待久了人缘真是不错。这不,今天晚上她又要赴一位帅哥的约会了。快下班的时候Jenny邀请Catherine和他们一块吃烛光晚餐,Catherine知趣地说:Thank you for your kindness. But I don't want to be a third wheel.


I don't want to be a third wheel.我不想当电灯泡。


third wheel就是马车的一根轴子上装了三个轮子,显然是多余的。现在用来指那些”碍手碍脚、不合时宜“的人,就是我们平常说的”电灯泡“。所以,如果有一对情侣好意邀请你一起去看电影,婉言谢绝之后,你就可以打趣一下:I don't want to be a third wheel.




【英语情景剧】




Jane:I have an engagement with my girlfriend today. Why not have dinner with us?

简:我晚上和女友有个约会,要不要和我们一起吃饭?


Shirley:You two go on ahead. I don't want to be a third wheel.

雪莉:你们两个去好了,我不想当电灯泡。
