不少娱乐节目都过去整理过历史上经典的荧幕伴侣,他们在荧幕上的爱情故事可能过去感动了不少人,也会不少观众会误以为他们在现实日常也是一对。他们如此的恋爱就叫做showmance(荧幕恋爱)。
Showmance means the romance actors engage in for the run of a show. once the run is over so is the romance.
荧幕恋爱(showmance)是演员在戏剧表演中上演的恋爱。表演结束时,恋爱也随之终结。
The term originated in the theater and moved to movies and scripted television and then reality television. The term has now moved to the populace to describe any contrived romance.
这个说法初现于剧院表演,后来适用范围扩展到电影、电视剧与真人秀电视节目。目前,这个词已经可以用来描述任何形式的不真实恋爱了。
For example:
A: I didn't know Anthony and Cicely were dating.
我没听说安东尼和西塞莉在谈恋爱啊。
B: It's just a showmance, Cicely is just dating Anthony just to make Edgar jealous.
那不过是荧幕恋爱而已,西塞莉跟安东尼约会就是为了让埃德加嫉妒。
