我们来看一下权威的解释: If someone cheats on their husband, wife, or partner, they have a sexual relationship with another person. 简单来说,可以理解为“对自己的伴侣不忠”。 为了加深对这个表达的理解,我们一起来看两个例句: I'd found Albert was cheating on me and I was angry and hurt.我发现艾伯特对我不忠,我又生气又伤心。 Finally, Andre discovered that Addy'd been cheating on him.最后,安德烈发现艾迪早就出轨了。 美剧《致命女人》中,Claire向Mrs Stanto坦白时就用到了这个表达: Rob's been cheating on you for years... with all sorts of women. And I was one of them.罗伯已经背着你出轨很多年了,有过各种各样的女人,我就是其中之一。
要表示“出轨”这个意思,我们还可以用另外一个表达:have an affair.
According to the iVillage poll, 82% of women believe social media sites make it easier to have an affair.根据iVillage的民意调查,82%的女性认为,社交媒体网站使婚外情变得更容易。
