 同是“约会”,有啥区别? 

职场术语:date & appointment
 在职场上,很多时候谈事情,要约着一起谈,于是,“约会” 就成了一种常态。 要约会,肯定要写邮件吧,然鹅,在约会邮件中,稍不注意,你可能会暴露你英语不好的事实哦。 在英语中,“约会 有两种说法,分别叫 “date” 和 “appointment”,但是这两个词适用的场合却非常不一样。 1. 具体来说,appointment 主要用在工作环境中,比如和客户约谈的会,和医生定的约。 只有这类 “约会” 才可以用appointment 这个词。 通常的动词搭配有:keep, make, cancel, postpone, have,比如: I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow at 2 PM.
明天下午两点,我约了医生。
We need to make an appointment with the manager to go through the plans.
我们要和经理约见面,一起谈下这些方案。 2. 而 date 其实呢,是用作两性关系的那种约会,是恋人间用的词。 比如 blind date 就是相亲的意思。再比如: My wife and I went to the movies on our first date.
我和老婆第一次约会的时候,看了场电影。 如果不涉及恋爱关系的话,一般指的是家人之间的约会。比如: I have a special date with my nephew this weekend. I haven’t seen him in ages and it will be good to catch up.
我这周要和侄子约着见面。我已经很久没见到他了,这次一定要好好叙旧。 所以,下次千万别用错了,否则超级尴尬! (本文首发于沪江商务英语公众号,扫码关注,即可获取更多商务英语资讯。转载请“沪江商务英语”后台联系!)
