【读新闻学英语】在约会软件约到亲姐姐，是一种什么样的体验？

A sibling match on Tinder has gone viral. But is all as it seems?

最近，Tinder上的一起姐弟匹配事件遭到疯传。不过，事情真如我们所看到的那样吗？

Sibling：兄弟姐妹

If you thought stumbling upon your ex on Tinder would be super awkward, imagine this:

如果你以为在Tinder上不小心撞见前任会非常尴尬，请试想以下场景：

Stumble upon：偶然发现

A teen in the US claimed to be horrified when he matched with his older sister on popular dating app Tinder.

一名美国青少年在使用约会软件Tinder时竟然被匹配到自己的姐姐，表示十分震惊。

Match with：匹配

The boy, known only as "Weston", was so weirded out to find his sister Kalynn on Tinder, that he decided to swipe right and chat.

当这位名叫Weston的男生在Tinder上发现姐姐Kalynn时，他感到无比讶异，但仍决定向右划动展开聊天。

Weird：奇怪的，诡异的。

His sister clearly had the same idea as the pair matched and exchanged a series of messages.

显然，姐姐也有相同的想法。于是两人成功配对，并交换了一系列信息。

A series of：一系列

He tweeted a screenshot of their conversation, joking: "WTF Just matched with my sister on tinder. Someone execute me I want electric chair (sic)", and the post went viral.

他将两人的对话截图发在Tweeter上，打趣道：“什么玩意儿啊！Tinder居然把我跟我姐配到一起。快来人处决我吧，我想要坐电椅（原文如此）”，推文随后得到疯狂传播。

Execute：处决，执行。

He began their conversation with a phrase probably not often seen in Tinder messages: "WTF. Sissy?"

在与姐姐展开对话时，Weston采用了一种Tinder上较为少见的开场方式：“姐姐，这XX都是啥？”

To which she replied: "What the flip are you doing on here??? You aren't 18+!!!!"

作为回复，姐姐答道：“你究竟在这儿干嘛？你还不满18岁！！！”

What the flip：相当于what the hell

The chat continued as the pair blamed each other for swiping right and causing the match.

接下来，对话转变为相互埋怨，各自指责对方向右滑动才导致匹配成功。

When Weston threatened to call their mother Kalynn joked: "I already called her - have fun in juvi", referring to the age limit on the dating app.

当Weston扬言要告诉母亲时，Kalynn调侃道：“我早就跟她说了——在未成年组玩得开心”，暗指约会软件的年龄限制。

Juvi：即juvenile，青少年。

Would you be grossed out if this happened to you?

如果这件事情发生在你的身上，你会感到恶心吗？

Gross out：惹人讨厌，冒犯，使厌恶。
