情侶在公共場所做的20件最令對方難堪的事(1)
It's reassuring to know even one of the most recognisable women in the world does embarrassing things in public.
即使全世界最知名的女性也會在公共場合做令人難堪的事，瞭解這一點我們會感到些許寬慰。
Witness Courtney Cox having an obvious, stonking row with her fiancé outside a packed West London restaurant this week.
本週，有人看到柯特妮•考克斯在倫敦西部一家喧鬧的餐廳外，與她未婚夫大吵了一架。
Whether you were mortified for her (What did he do to provoke her into making a scene?) or him (How mortifying to have Monica shouting at you in public!), the end result is the same: mutual humiliation.
不論你是否會爲她（他做了什麼會激怒她當衆做出令人難堪的事？）或他（被莫妮卡當衆大罵多麼令人羞恥）感到羞恥，但最後的結果都是相同的：雙方共同的恥辱。
Spousal embarrassment is something every couple experiences at some point - and it's never pleasant.
每對情侶都曾在某一時刻因對方而感到難堪——這種經歷向來令人不快。
Our partners represent us: they're not like family (who you can't choose) or friends (who you can but somehow aren't as personal a reflection of ourselves). |
我們的伴侶代表了我們：他們既不像家人（你不能選擇）也不像朋友（你可以選擇，但朋友並不能反映我們自身）。
If our partners make a fool of themselves, we look bad because we're judged by the company we keep.
如果我們的伴侶做了蠢事，我們面子上也掛不住，因爲別人會通過我們的伴侶判斷我們的爲人。
How many of the following is YOUR partner guilty of - or, dare I say it, you！
下面提到的這20件事，你的伴侶做過幾件？老實說，你又做過幾件？
THE TOP 20 THINGS OUR PARTNER'S DO TO EMBARRASS US IN PUBLIC
情侶在公共場合做的20件最令對方難堪的事
1. Arguing
1.吵架
Whether you're the one raising your voice and making angry hand gestures (Courtney Cox style) or on the receiving end (Johnny McDaid), having a row where others can see or hear us, is high on most people's 'Please No' list.
無論你是提高了嗓門，作出了生氣的手勢（柯特妮•考克斯式的）還是當了受氣包（約翰尼•麥克達德式的），在他人能看到或聽到的地方吵架，是大部分人最不願發生的事。
2. Spilling secrets
2.泄露祕密
Letting your less-well-off friends know exactly how much you spent on your house/sofa/bag; telling your boss how you frequently stay up late binging on box sets;
告訴手頭更不寬裕的朋友你花多少錢買了房子/沙發/包包；告訴你的老闆你經常熬夜聽套裝唱片；
how you pick your toenails when you're sitting on the sofa or revealing dark secrets from your past.
告訴別人你坐在沙發上剪腳趾甲的醜樣，或者揭露你的黑歷史。
3. Giving intimate details of your sex life
3.講述性生活的細節
What you get up to, how often you have it (particularly galling if it's not impressive). |
談論性生活狀況以及頻率（尤其是當事情並不美妙時特別尷尬）
4. Political rants
4.大聲爭論政治新聞
Something most of us can relate to post-Brexit.
我們大都能聯想到英國脫歐。
It's one thing having a lively debate, quite another pointing fingers, going red in the face and refusing to let others change the subject.
一場政治事件引起激烈討論，用手指着對方，由於激動臉色變紅，而且不讓別人改變話題。
5. Swearing
5.說髒話
We've all let off the odd 'F-bomb' but a partner who does that (or worse) every sentence, when you're out with your parents and their friends, isn't endearing.
偶爾說句髒話，我們都可以接受，但當你和父母以及他們的朋友一起外出時，你的伴侶每句話都帶髒字（甚至更糟），這確實讓人討厭。
