我們有句古語,說“有朋自遠(yuǎn)方來,不亦樂乎?”可是,有朋友到訪并不見得任何時候都是讓人高興的。在你有急事要處理或者著急出門的時候,朋友意外到訪就有可能是“不亦悲乎”了。
Social terrorism means when someone you know comes to visit unexpectedly and inconveniently, often staying for a long time, and you can't tell them to leave without being rude.
Social terrorism(譯為“不速之客”或“社交炸彈”)指有熟人在你不太方便的時候突然到訪,而且停留很長時間,你又不能很粗魯?shù)匾笕思译x開。
For example:
Yesterday, I was just about to go out, and then the doorbell rang. It was Sally, and she invited herself in and stayed for an hour! It was social terrorism!
昨天,我正要出門的時候,門鈴響了。原來是莎莉,她也不客氣就進(jìn)了屋還待了一個小時!簡直就是個不速之客!
