Canoodling
“Canoodling” 指情侣或亲密之人正在拥抱、依偎、轻声调情,语气轻松俏皮,略带幽默,如 canoodling on the park bench(在公园长椅上腻在一起)或 stop canoodling and pay attention(别腻歪了,专心点)。
- “They were canoodling in the corner booth at the café.” (他们在咖啡馆角落卡座里腻在一起。)
- “The movie couple kept canoodling while everyone else watched the credits.” (片尾字幕时那对银幕情侣还在搂搂抱抱。)
- “She laughed and told them to stop canoodling during the meeting.” (她笑着叫他们在开会时别腻歪了。)
“Canoodle” 为 19 世纪美国英语俚语,词源不确定,可能与 caress、cuddle 等词在音感上相近,强调亲昵依偎。
“-ing” 表示正在进行的亲昵动作;canoodle 本身为不及物动词,常接 with。
该词在报刊与口语中常带一点调侃意味,比 “making out” 更温和、更俏皮;Claude Code spinner 用 “canoodling” 制造轻松幽默的等待氛围。
