那些年拒絕約會時用過的借口

Turning down a date can be tricky, particularly when you don’t feel comfortable to blurt out: 'I'm just not that into you.'
拒絕約會也是需要技巧的，尤其當(dāng)你不好意思直說“我只是沒那么喜歡你而已”的時候。

Since being so honest can be embarrassing and awkward, many people scramble to come up with fake reasons for why they don't want to meet up with an eager admirer.
因為太過坦誠可能會讓人感到尷尬和難堪，所以許多人絞盡腦汁地編造各種理由來說明他們?yōu)槭裁床辉敢夂鸵晃豢駸嶙非笳咭娒妗?/p>

But it seems that some users of the secret-sharing Whisper app went to a whole lot of trouble to wriggle out of a less-than-appealing date, offering up excuses that are strange, imaginative, and sometimes totally unbelievable.
但是在秘密分享程序“耳語”（Whisper）上，有些用戶為了逃避不太想去的約會，千方百計編造出一些千奇百怪的、超乎想象、有時候甚至難以置信的理由來拒絕約會。

Clearly thrilled with their ingenious excuses, however, many people couldn’t wait to offer them up for public review - using the app's promise of anonymity to spill without repercussions.
這些用戶對自己機智的理由沾沾自喜，所以大多數(shù)人迫不及待地把這些理由分享到公共平臺上—用這款承諾匿名發(fā)布內(nèi)容的APP就可以在分享時無所顧忌了。

'I can't, I'm at Walmart,' one woman wrote when a man texted her about meeting up. When he checked in again three hours later to ask if she was home yet, she said: 'No, I'm still at Walmart.'
“不行，我在沃爾瑪呢”一位女士在男士短信邀約見面時這樣回答。三個小時后這位男士再一次問她是否回到家了，這位女士回答：“沒有，我還在沃爾瑪。”

Some people blamed their pets for making them unavailable, with one saying: 'My pet ferret has anxiety attacks so I can't be away from him for too long or he'll get worried about me.'
有些人抱怨自己的寵物讓他們忙得抽不開身，其中有一個人這樣說：“我的寵物雪貂焦慮癥發(fā)作了，我不能離開它太久，要不它會擔(dān)心我的。

'Sorry, I've got an appointment to get my cat declawed that night,' wrote another, before admitting to Whisper users that she didn't actually have a cat.
另外有人說：“對不起，那天晚上我約了美容師給我的貓剪指甲”，之后她向“耳語”用戶承認(rèn)其實她根本沒養(yǎng)貓。
