Jenny在美國待久了人緣真是不錯。這不，今天晚上她又要赴一位帥哥的約會了?？煜掳嗟臅r候Jenny邀請Catherine和他們一塊吃燭光晚餐，Catherine知趣地說：Thank you for your kindness. But I don't want to be a third wheel.

I don't want to be a third wheel.我不想當電燈泡。

third wheel就是馬車的一根軸子上裝了三個輪子，顯然是多余的?，F(xiàn)在用來指那些”礙手礙腳、不合時宜“的人，就是我們平常說的”電燈泡“。所以，如果有一對情侶好意邀請你一起去看電影，婉言謝絕之后，你就可以打趣一下：I don't want to be a third wheel.

【英語情景劇】

Jane：I have an engagement with my girlfriend today. Why not have dinner with us?
簡：我晚上和女友有個約會，要不要和我們一起吃飯？

Shirley：You two go on ahead. I don't want to be a third wheel.
雪莉：你們兩個去好了，我不想當電燈泡。
