原本經(jīng)常聯(lián)絡(luò)的幾個(gè)朋友，忽然有一個(gè)好久都沒消息了。一打聽，原來是忙著談戀愛呢。這種情況通常會(huì)被朋友們稱作“重色輕友”或者“有異性沒人性”。英文里對(duì)這個(gè)情況的稱呼更加形象生動(dòng)，就一個(gè)詞：hiberdating。

Hiberdating means dating in the winter months, or the situation that someone ignores all their other friends when they are dating a boyfriend/girlfriend. The second meaning is more popular. The word hiberdating is a blending of the word “hibernating” and “dating”, which means a person is in a state of inactivity(hibernating) among friends when dating someone.

Hiberdating指在冬季約會(huì)戀愛，或者指某人在談戀愛期間忽略其他朋友的情況，也就是我們常說的“有異性沒人性”。第二種用法更普遍一些。Hiberdating這個(gè)詞是hibernating（冬眠）和dating（約會(huì)）兩個(gè)詞的合成詞，由此便可知它的意思是一個(gè)人在約會(huì)戀愛期間中斷與朋友聯(lián)絡(luò)的狀況。

For example:

I haven't seen or heard from Jennifer since she started hiberdating Teddy four months ago.

自從4個(gè)月前詹妮弗跟泰德約會(huì)以來，我就一直沒有過她的消息。
