趣味英语第79期:怎么和不喜欢拥抱的人拥抱

Cullen Heminover asks...

库伦·黑米诺瓦问道：

"How can I hug a non-hugger?"

“怎么和不喜欢拥抱的人拥抱？”

Hug them and then run so they cannot find you.

拥抱他们之后就跑走，这样他们就找不到你了。

Sneak¹ up on them and then hug them. And then if it was a girl, they'd probably slap you in the face.

悄悄地靠近他们，然后拥抱他们。如果你拥抱的是个女孩，那她可能会打你一巴掌。

A non-hugger doesn't deserve your hugs. Save it for someone good.

不喜欢拥抱的人不值得你去拥抱。把拥抱留给合适的人吧。

(amused) Do it anyway. That's what I do.

（愉快的）无论如何都要拥抱他们。我就是这样做的。

If you really gotta hug that person, just hug 'em lightly and let it go.

如果你要拥抱那个人，那就轻轻地抱一下然后就放手。

I was a non-hugger for a little while. And I think the best thing to do is just, you know, you gotta ease them into it. Or you could just try giving them a hug surprisingly.

我有一段时间就不喜欢拥抱。我认为最好的做法是，让他们慢慢接受拥抱。或者你可以出其不意地拥抱他们一下。

Be friendly and always ask for permission.

友好些，每次都要得到对方的许可。

What I do with people is I actually ask them after we've had a conversation, "May I give you a hug?"

一般我会在谈话之后，询问他们：“我能拥抱你一下吗？”

You can try to talk them into it. But if they're just not comfortable with it, then I guess there's nothing to do.

你可以尝试说服他们。如果他们感觉拥抱有些别扭，那我想就没有其他方法了。

I feel like I'm kind of a non-hugger. Most non-hugger people just feel awkward. But then if you tell them, "Give me a hug," then they'll just be like, "Oh, okay," and just give you a hug.

我想我就算不喜欢拥抱的人。大部分不喜欢拥抱的人会感到很尴尬。不过，如果你跟他们说：“拥抱我一下”，那他们会说：“哦，好的”，然后他们就会拥抱你。

The best way's probably the one little pat in the back, one arm or something, just to make that person not feel out of their comfort zone.

最好的方法可能是轻拍对方的后背或是胳膊，不要让他们有脱离安全区的感觉。

I recommend either begging, as you're approaching and grabbing and hugging, or the sneak attack, and giving them a big bear hug before they know you're on them and telling them, "I love you, man."

我建议你可以请求许可，靠近他们、抓住机会拥抱一下，或者你可以偷袭，在他们意识到之前给他们一个大熊抱，跟他们说：“我爱你，伙计”。
