[ 2009-11-02 17:29 ]
平時(shí)在辦公室不茍言笑，大男人味十足的家伙跟他女兒講話時(shí)可能會(huì)變成另外一個(gè)人。商場(chǎng)上咄咄逼人的女強(qiáng)人在另一半面前也可能是輕聲細(xì)語(yǔ)、小鳥依人的樣子。這樣的角色轉(zhuǎn)變我們都不陌生，或許每天都在經(jīng)歷。所以，如果身邊有個(gè)男士時(shí)不時(shí)地用girlfriend voice跟女友說話，大家也不會(huì)覺得太稀奇吧。
Girlfriend voice refers to the change in pitch or tone of a man's voice when talking to their significant other. The girlfriend voice is characterized by a higher pitch and a more effeminate tone with speech patterns scattered with pet names and childish words.
女友專用調(diào)（girlfriend voice）指男士在跟自己的另一半說話時(shí)聲調(diào)和語(yǔ)氣上的變化。這種變化主要體現(xiàn)為：聲調(diào)提高、語(yǔ)調(diào)更顯溫柔，并且不時(shí)夾雜著各種愛稱和幼稚的語(yǔ)言。
This type of speech is usually frowned upon when used in the presence of other men. When another man uses this voice they will usually receive a fair amount of ridicule.
有其他男士在場(chǎng)的情況下，這種語(yǔ)調(diào)通常會(huì)被嗤之以鼻。如果有男士用這種語(yǔ)調(diào)說話，經(jīng)常會(huì)受到嘲諷。
For example:
Did you hear Bob's wicked girlfriend voice when he was talking to Lisa? Let’s give him some whip.
你聽見鮑勃跟麗薩說話時(shí)的那個(gè)腔調(diào)了嗎？咱們?nèi)ソ逃?xùn)教訓(xùn)他。
