一夜情，露水之歡
[ 2007-01-12 16:02 ]
下面這則新聞，可能會(huì)令老師、家長(zhǎng)甚至性教育家大吃一驚。一項(xiàng)在北京某區(qū)所做的調(diào)查顯示，北京的中學(xué)生遠(yuǎn)比社會(huì)所想象的“開放”：一半以上的受訪學(xué)生認(rèn)為“一夜情”沒什么錯(cuò)，6.2%的人承認(rèn)他們有過性行為。
請(qǐng)看《中國(guó)日?qǐng)?bào)》相關(guān)報(bào)道：High school students in Beijing are far more promiscuous than their teachers or parents think, according to a survey conducted in a city district.
More than half of those polled said there was nothing wrong with aone-night stand; and 6.2 percent admitted they already had a sexual encounter, according to the results released recently.
報(bào)道中的“one-night stand”就是“一夜情”，或者“露水之歡”。該短語常用來比喻“結(jié)合”并非為求天長(zhǎng)地久，通常是雙方在不十分了解的前提下的“性行為”，當(dāng)事人也不用為對(duì)方負(fù)責(zé)。
“One-night stand”原指巡回演出劇團(tuán)在某地“一夜的駐留”，“stand”本意指“停留演出，停留演出劇場(chǎng)”，如：to open a four-week stand（為期4周的停留演出）。隨著時(shí)間的推移，俚語中常用“one-night stand”來比喻隨風(fēng)而逝的“愛”。
看下面一個(gè)例句：I am hoping for a lasting relation, not just one-night stand.（我希望擁有持久的關(guān)系，而不是一夜情。）
