Why the long face? 怎么一脸闷闷不乐？
long face 直接翻译是指「长长的脸」，不开心的时候脸都会拉得长长的，因此延伸为「闷闷不乐、不开心的样子」，也就是「板着一张脸」。 Why the long face? 则是 Why do you have a long face? 的简短说法。
Why the long face? Did you step on a dog poop on your way here?
怎么一脸闷闷不乐？你来这的路上踩到狗大便吗？
A horse walked into a bar and the barman asked him: “why the long face?”
一匹马走进一间酒吧，然后吧台人员就问他：「干嘛板着一张脸？」
friend-zone (v.) 发好人卡
zone 的中文为「区域」，friend zone 直翻即是「朋友区」的意思，这个字也可以当动词，写作 friend-zone，意思是「发好人卡」，后面可直接接被发卡的对象。
Katy: Henry must be upset today, I just friend-zoned him.
Katy：Henry 今天一定会很沮丧，我刚刚给他发了好人卡。
Henry is deep in the friend zone; Katy said she sees him “like a sister.”
Henry 深陷朋友区，Katty 说她把他当「好姊妹」。
have been single since birth 母胎单身
single 意指「单身的」，birth 的中文则是「出生」，have/has been single since birth 的中文为「出生以来一直是单身」，意思等同「母胎单身」，注意这边使用到的句型为现在完成式。
Bob: I can’t give any romantic advice to any of my friends. I’ve been single since birth!
Bob：我没办法提供任何感情建议给我朋友。我母胎单身诶！
单身的困扰究竟有哪些？听 Henry 娓娓道来…
Henry: Whenever I walk on the street, I see heavy PDA wherever I look.
Henry：我每次走在街上，我都会看到情侣疯狂放闪。
Bob: (shiver) Those lovey-dovey couples.
Bob：(颤抖) 那些恶心得要死的情侣。
Henry: Yeah, you know what I mean. Why on earth do they have to stand in the middle of the street or in front of the MRT entrance kissing and hugging!?
Henry：是啊，你知道我在说什么。到底为什么他们就是要站在路中央或是挡在捷运入口亲亲抱抱！ ？
Bob: Sometimes I have an urge to walk straight through the couple and split them apart…
Bob：我有时候会有种冲动，想从他们中间穿过、把他们分开…
Henry: So do I.
Henry：我也有。
Bob: They’re like a statues, rooted there on the sidewalk.
Bob：他们就像是雕像，在人行道生根了。
Henry: Exactly! I would never do that with my girlfriend in the future. (Henry sighs, remembering he is undateable). When will my dream girl show up?
Henry：没错！我未来肯定不会和我女友那样做。 ( Henry 叹了口气，发现他根本不懂约会) 我的真命天女何时才会出现？
Bob: I have an idea.
Bob：我有个点子。
Henry: What?
Henry：什么？
Bob: Why not try and find a boyfriend instead? Say… your good friend Bob!
Bob：既然交不到女友，何不交个男友呢？像是…你的好朋友 Bob 呀！
哈哈哈哈哈哈 Bob 很会，不过还是先来学相关单字吧！
PDA (n.) 放闪
PDA 的全名为 public display of affection，直翻中文意思为「公众展示爱慕之情」，也就是「晒恩爱，放闪」。
I feel like I’m constantly reminded of my loneliness. I see PDA everywhere. Sometimes, I wish I was blind.
有时候我觉得我一直被提醒自己有多孤单，因为我到处看到大家放闪。有时候真希望自己瞎了。
lovey-dovey (adj.) 卿卿我我的
lovey-dovey /ˌlʌviˈdʌvi/ 为形容词，意思是「卿卿我我的；过分热情的」，很适合用来形容那种「甜腻到不行的」情侣。
Oh! Quit with that lovey-dovey behavior! Get out of my sight, please!
噢！你们这对卿卿我我的小俩口！烦请挪出我的视线范围！
dream girl (n.) 真命天女
dream girl 直翻中文为「梦中的女孩」，也就是「真命天女」。 「真命天子」则是 Mr. Right。
