女友專用調 girlfriend voice

　　平時在辦公室不茍言笑，大男人味十足的家伙跟他女兒講話時可能會變成另外一個人。商場上咄咄逼人的女強人在另一半面前也可能是輕聲細語、小鳥依人的樣子。這樣的角色轉變我們都不陌生，或許每天都在經歷。所以，如果身邊有個男士時不時地用girlfriend voice跟女友說話，大家也不會覺得太稀奇吧。

　　Girlfriend voice refers to the change in pitch or tone of a man's voice when talking to their significant other. The girlfriend voice is characterized by a higher pitch and a more effeminate tone with speech patterns scattered with pet names and childish words.

　　女友專用調（girlfriend voice）指男士在跟自己的另一半說話時聲調和語氣上的變化。這種變化主要體現(xiàn)為：聲調提高、語調更顯溫柔，并且不時夾雜著各種愛稱和幼稚的語言。

　　This type of speech is usually frowned upon when used in the presence of other men. When another man uses this voice they will usually receive a fair amount of ridicule.

　　有其他男士在場的情況下，這種語調通常會被嗤之以鼻。如果有男士用這種語調說話，經常會受到嘲諷。

　　For example:

　　Did you hear Bob's wicked girlfriend voice when he was talking to Lisa? Let’s give him some whip.

　　你聽見鮑勃跟麗薩說話時的那個腔調了嗎？咱們去教訓教訓他。
