Jessica在北京學漢語，她的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎么說的詞，就會來請教她。今天是楊林要問的：真命天子
YL:Jessica! 跟你說件事兒。
Jessica:Go ahead.
YL:我不久前碰到高中時同桌的男生，和他聊得特投機! 我們一起看電影，吃飯，跳舞......太開心了! 我好象喜歡上他了!
Jessica:You mean you "developed a crush on him?" Crush is spelled c-r-u-s-h, crush. It means a temporary love.
YL:哦，crush 就是一時迷戀，動心。Jessica, I think I developed a major crush on him.
Jessica:楊林，你不是有男朋友么？
YL:呃......我也為這事兒發愁呢，不知道誰是我的真命天子。
Jessica:真命天子？那不是皇帝么？
YL:哈哈，是皇帝沒錯。可一個女生的真命天子就是她真正的伴侶。這用英文怎么說呢？
Jessica:Oh, you're talking about "Mr. Right"! Mr. Right refers to the perfect man for you.
YL:Mr.Right? right是“對，正確”，所以 Mr. Right 就是各方面都跟我特別合適的男人， 我的真命天子!
Jessica:Exactly! So who looks like your Mr. Right, your boyfriend or this high school classmate?
YL: 我也不知道! 你說我該選擇哪個呢？
Jessica:Well, I think you should choose the one who is your soul mate.
YL:soul mate? s-o-u-l, soul是靈魂的意思，mate 是伴侶，所以soul mate 就是靈魂伴侶嘍？
Jessica:沒錯! Your soul mate is the person with whom you have deep and natural love. It's very spiritual.
YL:和那人心有靈犀一點通，這感覺太美好了!
Jessica:好了，Let's see what you've learned today!
YL:第一：對某人產生好感，to develop a crush on someone；
第二：女孩子的真命天子， Mr.Right;
第三：靈魂伴侶，soul mate。
