Jessica 在北京學漢語，她的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎么說的詞，就會來請教她。今天是吳瓊要問的：小三。

Jessica: Wuqiong, 給我介紹一部好看的中文電視劇吧！

WQ: 嗯......最近很流行小三劇，Do you like to watch "little three" shows，Jessica?

Jessica: Little three? What's that?

WQ: 小三??！你不知道嗎? 就是外遇、情婦、第三者的意思。小三美語怎么說？不是 little three 嗎？

Jessica: Haha! 小三 is called a mistress, or "the other woman."

WQ: 哦，我知道了，妻子以外的那個女人， the other woman就是小三。這些小三真可惡！人家夫妻好好的，她非要來插一腳。

Jessica: Calm down, I'm sure your boyfriend doesn't have one.

WQ: 那當然。但我要是有朋友當別人的小三，我一定罵她，叫她不要去破壞別人家庭！這句話美語要怎么說?

Jessica: 你可以告訴她， Don't be a home-wrecker.

WQ: Wreck是動詞，有破壞的意思，所以 home-wrecker就是破壞家庭的人。一提起小三我就......

Jessica: Wuqiong, you should really stop watching those TV shows, they're not good for you!

WQ: 可是劇情很吸引人啊！我喜歡看她們勾心斗角。怎么說？

Jessica: In English, we use the verb scheme. To scheme means to make secret and devious plots.

WQ: 我明白了，耍心眼，勾心斗角就是 to scheme. 哎呀，不早了，我得趕快回去看電視了！

Jessica: Hold on, before you leave, tell me what you've learned today!

WQ: 第一，小三叫 mistress 或者 the other woman;

第二，破壞別人家庭的人是 home wrecker;

第三，耍心計是 to scheme!
