语境学口语：Seeing someone 在恋爱

Larry和李华在公园里散步，Larry告诉李华他的朋友Rick最近交了一个女朋友。

LL: Hey, Li Hua, have you heard the news? Rick is seeing someone.

LH: Rick is seeing someone? Rick在看人。这有什么奇怪的，我也在看一个人呀。I am seeing someone, too。

LL: Really? You are seeing someone, Li Hua? Who is it?

LH: 就是你呀。 Larry. 我不是在看着你吗？

LL: (Laughs) That's pretty funny, Li Hua. But, by "seeing someone" I don't mean Rick is looking at someone with his eyes.

LH: 你不是说"Rick is seeing someone"吗？ 他不是在看人， 那是什么意思呀？

LL: When I said Rick is "seeing someone," I meant he was dating a girl.

LH: OH! 你是在说Rick有了一个女朋友。Although I'm seeing you，但是我们不是男女朋友的关系。

LL: Right, we are just friends, Li Hua. We go out and do thingstogether, but we aren't boyfriend and girlfriend. We aren't seeing eachother.

LH: 事实上， 我现在根本就没有男朋友，I am not seeing anyone.

LL: It's OK, Li Hua. I'm not seeing anyone either. But Rick is pretty serious about the girl he is seeing

LH: Rick已经换了好几个女朋友了，你说他这次真的会很认真吗？那女孩是谁呀？

LL: Her name is Jennifer. Rick has been seeing her for about a month or so.

LH: 嗯，Jennifer。交往了才一个月，你怎么知道Rick对这个女孩很认真呀！

LL: You're right, Li Hua. It hasn't been very long - but ever sincethey started to see each other, they've been doing everything together- going out to eat, seeing movies, and taking walks in the park.

LH: 热恋的时候当然是形影不离了；一起吃饭， 看电影，一起去公园散步，多浪漫。Larry, 那边走的不是Rick吗？跟他牵着手的女孩子就是Jennifer吧？

LL: That is Rick across the park. But that is not the girl he has been seeing.

LH: 那个女孩子不是Jennifer? 难道Rick另有所爱了？

LL: I don't know. I'll ask him
