搭訕高招 5個絕妙的加式破冰法
5 BRILLIANTLY CANADIAN CHAT-UP LINES
5個絕妙的加式搭訕臺詞
Listen: I have a girlfriend. We’ve been dating for a long while now. We’re happy. And we’ll remain that way so long as she doesn’t read this article. For here I tell you how to finagle your way to the liquid romance of good conversations, long laughs, and stolen desires. I tell you how to get the Canadian girl of your dreams (kind of like the Canadian girl of my dreams, except, well, she’s mine already).
我有個在一起很久了的女友，我們很開心。如果她不看到這篇文章的話我們還會一直好下去。此文中，我會告訴你怎樣和心儀的女孩聊得開心、樂得開懷，互相點燃愛火，以及怎樣追到你夢中的加拿大女孩（就像我的夢中情人一樣的女孩，但我已經追到她了）。
These are conversation starters, ice breakers in a Canadian climate that has too much ice to begin with. For this reason, these introductory pick-up lines are often cheesy. But that’s okay – as long as your intended paramour isn’t lactose intolerant.
在加拿大這麼冷的地方，打破僵局的話頭不快準狠可不行。所以這下面的話大多肉麻又甜膩，但只要你喜歡的對象不是乳糖不耐症患者就沒關係……
FOR THE BAR
在酒吧
Canadian bars and pubs are an oasis of delirium, frustration, and single people. They offer a comfortable environment to relax, drink, and – if done correctly – work your way into a relationship if only for a little while.
加拿大的酒吧是發瘋買醉的好去處，是飢渴單身人士的綠洲。人們在酒吧裏可以邊放鬆邊喝酒，只要方法得當，你可能還會有豔遇。
“Do you mind holding my Molson Canadian while I buy you yours?”
“可以幫我拿一下Molson Canadian嗎，我得騰出手去給你買一杯。”
“Did you fall from heaven, and were the injuries covered by our healthcare?” Social, universal healthcare is always funny. Ask the United States.“你是從天堂掉落凡間的嗎？治療摔傷用了我們的醫保嗎？”全社會統一的醫保總是可以拿來做笑梗，問問美國就知道了。
FOR THE CLASSROOM
在教室
Universities are a hive of frenzied passions, unadulterated inhibitions, and youthful naivety. In other words, it’s the perfect place to try some of these lines.
大學充滿了狂熱、禁慾或幼稚的年輕人。換句話說，在這裏試試下面這幾句話再好不過了。
If it’s a music class, say, “Do you like Justin Bieber?” There’s only one answer to this question, so it’s an easy discussion to set up. There’s a small chance that they’ll say yes, though. If they do, then turn away. I have just saved you from making a horrible decision.
如果在上音樂課，說“你喜歡賈斯汀·比伯嗎？”能接受的答案只有一個，所以你要準備的對話內容很簡單。也有人會說喜歡，雖然概率很小。但一旦碰上這種人，就別和她講話了。我可在你犯下大錯前拉了你一把。
If in a French course, say, “Can you translate this: J’aime tu.” They’ll tell you it means, “I like you.” And you’ll say, “Don’t you think that’s a bit strong? We just met.” And then they’ll laugh, and you’ll keep talking, and, well… you’ll thank me later.
如果在上法語課，就說：“你知道‘J’aime tu’是什麼意思嗎？”她們會說，“我喜歡你”。你回道，“你不覺得太快了嗎？我們才見面呀。”然後她們就會笑，你繼續說你的，最後……你就會感謝我了。
And last of all, if it’s a political science class, say, “At least I’m not Stephen Harper.” The fact that you’re not Canada’s increasingly unpopular Prime Minister probably won’t hurt your chances
最後，如果是政治課，說：“還好我不是Stephen Harper。”他是加拿大的首相，其民衆支持率屢創新低，所以這話可能非常合妹子的心意。
FOR THE CLUB
在夜店
These are pulse-pounding, thought-erasing establishments of a special breed of young night-rats. You’ll inevitable find yourself stuck in one of these black holes one day; the gravity is too strong to avoid. So, too, could a momentary lover – so remember these lines.
年輕的夜貓子們一去夜店就心跳加快，大腦一片空白。有一天，你也會無可避免地陷入這些個黑洞中；它們的吸引力太強了，豔遇也是一樣。所以要牢記這些話！
“Drake’s lyrics don’t compare to talking to you.” Everyone loves a reference to Canadian rap.“和你講話比聽Drake的歌好多了。”所有人都喜歡拿加拿大說唱來說笑。
“I want some poutine; want some?” As I said, the first-impression pick-up lines will be cheesy – particularly when they involve cheese curds. Don’t hold back though: poutine on the way home is always a good excuse to escape with your eardrums still intact, and maybe even a lucky someone to join you.“我想吃poutine（譯者注：加拿大國菜，薯條加奶酪），你想吃嗎？”我之前說過，你乍看這些開場白可能覺得很油膩（cheesy）——而且這一句本來就牽扯到奶酪（cheese）。大膽說出口吧，回家路上吃poutine本來就是逃離繁雜場所的好理由，有人一起就再好不過了。
