大家都很討厭那些說(shuō)話說(shuō)一半，吊起別人胃口，然后各種追問(wèn)都不回答的那種人。這種討厭的行為就是Conversational Blue Balls（對(duì)話藍(lán)球）。

When someone brings up a topic when talking but immediately drops it and refuses to switch back to the dropped topic, leaving the other hanging in the middle of a conversation. This annoying thing is called “Conversational Blue Balls”.

當(dāng)某個(gè)人談話間提到某個(gè)話題而忽然又轉(zhuǎn)換話題避而不談剛才的話題，把對(duì)方的胃口吊在那里。這種討厭的事就是“對(duì)話藍(lán)球”。（注意是藍(lán)球不是籃球哦）

Here is an example of Conversational Blue Balls:

"Goodness, did you hear about what happened?"

"What happened?"

"Anyways, I'm gonna go."

"Wait, what happened?"

"Oh, don't worry about it."

看一個(gè)“對(duì)話藍(lán)球”的例子：

“老天啊，你聽(tīng)說(shuō)發(fā)生的事了嗎？”

“發(fā)生了什么事？”

“沒(méi)什么，我得走了。”

“等等，發(fā)生什么了？”

“哦，別管那個(gè)了。”

Dude, Jane TOTALLY gave me Conversational Blueballs yesterday. We were on AIM and she asked if I had heard about the party and she never answered when I asked about it.

老兄，簡(jiǎn)昨天真是給了我一個(gè)“對(duì)話籃球”。我們?cè)贏IM上聊天時(shí)她問(wèn)我有沒(méi)有聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)關(guān)于派對(duì)的事，我說(shuō)沒(méi)有，然后我問(wèn)她派對(duì)的事她再也不回答我了。
