CRAZY TEACHER 的瘋狂英語教室: 美國人這樣說
第四十一課: social butterfly
我們都認識那種能言善道, 長袖善舞, 喜好交際的人, 像隻花蝴蝶似的穿梭往來在不同的小團體間, 只要有趴踢就有他們的身影, 英文也有類似花蝴蝶的說法喔!!
social butterfly n.
Definition: A person who is very social and easygoing, makes friends easily; can be a male or a female. A social butterfly usually goes from party to party to be seen. 外向愛社交的人; 喜歡現身各種社交場合引人注意
Example:
(In a party.... 趴踢裡)
Greg: Your wife is really fun. She can always make a bunch of new friends in just a few minutes. 你太太真是個有趣的人, 總是能很快認識新朋友
Tim: Yeah. She's been a social butterfly since high school. 是啊, 她從高中時代就是隻花蝴蝶
Greg: Lots of guys like this kind of girl. You'd better keep an eye on her. 很多男人喜歡這樣的女孩, 你要注意點囉!
Tim: I know. 我知道

有些人跟social butterfly 恰好相反, 不愛參加活動, 就算參加了也在角落自己一個人, 這種人就是壁花wallflower 或是loner.
你是哪一種呢??? 阿甘應該都不是....雖然我也愛跑趴, 但我都是很低調的喔
很有趣的英文...要學起來
Kate不是social butterfly，但也不是所謂的wallflower...
[版主回覆06/20/2007 01:39:10]我覺得這樣最好!! 我也都不是...嘿嘿I'm loner!
I am sure you are a fun and popular girl!
不過我常參加教會聚會
所以...也不算吧
[版主回覆06/20/2007 01:47:56]那應該不算! 宅男宅女們, 或自閉傾向的較有可能是loner...
從年輕時就開始想當social butterfly
可惜到現在都沒達成願望
此生恐怕都.................
[版主回覆06/20/2007 01:44:17]沒關係啦! 當social butterfly 不一定是好事啊...當貴婦比較好啦! trust me!!
很久很久沒當social butterfly了
曾經年輕過嘛!!
[版主回覆06/20/2007 01:43:06]當social butterfly 應該蠻好玩的! 你也應該蠻會玩囉
很久很久沒當social butterfly了
曾經年輕過嘛!!
挖
真是令我大開眼界
[版主回覆06/20/2007 01:41:15]你的格子怎麼無法留言了?? 想跟你說佳節快樂喔
Is Hillary Rodham the social bufferfly?
I am sure she is definitely not the wallflower~
[版主回覆06/20/2007 01:46:00]I need to ask Bill first. 
She might become the first female president. I am really hoping she will make it happen.
Thanks teacher! Happy dragon boat festival!
[版主回覆06/20/2007 01:39:57]Thank you very much!! Don't forget to exercise after eating rice dumplings!!這我聽過耶~~ 英文還不算差嘛我 哈
四年前在台灣還有過這樣的外號,現在是死肥子的我應該就是wallflower了吧
[版主回覆06/20/2007 21:00:49]你不肥啦! 我覺得你很漂亮啊!阿甘老師應該也是算大隻的喔 [版主回覆06/25/2007 09:26:58]小小隻而已, 跟我身材一樣
Teacher真是有教無累啊
受益良多.....英文菜菜子 <=== en
[版主回覆06/25/2007 09:20:29]不會累啊! 比教小鬼頭好玩多了!!不知道DC有沒有賣粽子
曼谷是吃不到的
先送你一個聞聞香吧
記得第一次很興奮參加學校舞會...與隔壁班一位很瘦的男生跳完舞後...
他竟對我說"你的腰很粗也"....嚴重打擊...
不過我倒是想跟他說"你的骨頭比我的肉還恐怖"~~
之後對舞會之類的就興趣缺缺囉~~所以也沒嚐試過wallflower的滋味~~
祝你端午佳節愉快~~
[版主回覆06/25/2007 09:25:22]那個男生在開玩笑吧!! 我看過你的照片, 身材很標準耶!
記得以前學校的舞會很無趣, 大家都很害羞, 沒人敢跳哩!
原來壁花真的是wallflower啊~~~
阿甘你在外國人堆裡
不被注意到很難吧?
[版主回覆06/25/2007 09:22:06]我也會去亞洲人的party, 這樣就可以躲起來了哈！這麼說來我也是social butterfly型的，真不好意思，就愛聊天啊！ [版主回覆06/25/2007 09:15:02]沒關係啊, party 就是要有social butterflies 才會好玩呀, 不然太無趣了
可是以前我參加聯誼，也是主動和男生講話，但我一點也不像social butterfly，因為我的外表長的比較嚴肅.
Maybe I between social butterfly and wallflower. (如果我的文法不對，請指正，謝謝。)
[版主回覆07/24/2007 22:56:43]真的嗎? 長的嚴肅喔
看起來不會很兇吧? just kidding....
你可以說Maybe I am somewhere between social butterfly and wallflower.
Have a good night!
所以囉!!...就是剛剛好啦!!
[版主回覆06/25/2007 09:19:05]剛剛好應該最完美了!I am not a butterfly,but a fly!
[版主回覆06/25/2007 09:17:52]I want to be a butterfly!! Not a fly! 
那social butterfly 跟womanizer
是不是可以配成一對ㄚ?
[版主回覆07/17/2007 11:56:59]你想像力很豐富喔!! 還學以致用哩! 你以前的老師應該愛死你了
I thik I am not social butterfly.
Because I never go to party.
I am shy in the presence of strangers.
[版主回覆07/20/2007 23:06:33]That's why you should go to parties as much as you can to meet new people. But don't drink too much!這個字比較好記：） [版主回覆07/17/2007 11:57:42]I think so too! Have a wonderful day!!
Recently, I have no friends invite me to attend parties.......
I sometimes like to become "a social butterfly", but seldom now.
