談情說愛專用語
美國人盡管喊了多少年的“性開放”，但很多美國人在談情說愛方面，仍然喜歡采用一些含蓄保守的詞句或語句，表現文明和禮貌。下面這些表達都是表示男女間互相傾慕，兩情相悅，有吸引力或一見鐘情。
1. to have a crush on (someone)
例如：He (she) has a crush on her (him) (他對她十分愛慕) 。
2. to feel an instant magnetism
例如：He felt an instant magnetism when their eyes met. (他們見面時，他立即感到被她磁性般的吸住)。
這個to feel an instant magnetism是指“被外表吸引”，一見鐘情都是這種了。
3. to catch one’s eyes
例如：A nice-looking girl caught his eye.(一個漂亮妞兒吸引住了他的目光)。
注意：不用 eyes。
4. to hit it off
例如：He was introduced to a pretty woman and they seem to hit it off immediately.(有人介紹了一位漂亮女子給他，他們似乎就一見鐘情)。
5. to have the hots for (someone)
例如：When he met her, he had the hots for her.(當他見到她，他就對她愛慕不已。)(多半指 sexual attraction。)
6. to be attracted to each other.
例如：They were attracted to each other the moment their eyes met.
如果說“女對男的沒有興趣”，可以說：
She did not feel any attraction toward him.(她對他毫無興趣); 或
He is the man for whom she feels no attraction, catch or no catch.(不管他的條件好或壞，她對他就是沒有興趣)。
這里的 catch，可指財富、地位、名望和外表。
