用stand someone up表达“失约，放某人鸽子”

今天要和大家分享的口语表达是：stand someone up。我们知道stand up是“站起来”的意思，但是如果在stand up中间加上someone，意思就完全不一样了。stand someone up这个口语表达的意思是break a date by not showing up，也就是“失约，放某人鸽子”的意思。

• After she stood me up for a second time, I never hung out with her again.
  自从她第二次爽约以后，我就再也不和他约会了。
• – She is late for our party. I think she has stood us up.
  – 她聚会迟到了，我想她是爽约了。
  – Keep your shirt on. She‘s always late for everything, in my book.
  – 别急，据我所知，她任何时候都迟到。

下面我们再来看几个和这个口语表达有关的例句：

• Are we good? My bad. I won‘t stand you up any more.
  我们还好吗？是我的错，我再也不会放你鸽子了。
• He stood me up while he played basketball with those guys.
  他放我鸽子，和那些人打篮球去了。
• We‘ve been dating for over two months now, but I simply can‘t stand the way she always stands me up!
  我们交往到现在已经两个多月了，但我实在受不了她老是失约这一点了。
