Dan: Well, she said that people used it out of curiosity. If you do something out of curiosity you're just interested in seeing what it is and what it does. Maybe you've heard about something and although you don't want to actually try it, you do want to see what it's all about. For example, when I was travelling once, out of curiosity, I went to see people bungee jumping, but it was never something I was going to do myself.
呃,她说人们用这款app是出于好奇 。如果你做某件事是out of curiosity,就是说你有兴趣看看它是什么 , 它是做什么的 。也许你听说过,尽管你不想真的尝试,你还是想看看它到底是怎么一回事 。举个例子 , 有一次我去旅行,出于好奇我去看了别人蹦极,但我自己永远不会去蹦极 。
Neil: Was the lack of actual dating through the dating app a surprise?
通过交友软件真正去约会的人数量甚少 , 这很令人惊讶吗?
Dan: No, she said that because they looked at the motives, the result makes sense. When something makes sense, it's understandable, it's not surprising.
不是的,Tinnemans说,这是因为他们考察的是动机 , 结果在情理之中 。说某件事make sense,就是说它易于理解,并不令人惊讶 。
Neil: There is another view as to why people are not using dating apps for actual dating. This is Zoe Strimpel who is a dating historian. She argues that because there is so much choice and so many opportunities to find a partner through an app, it can make the dating process unpleasant and people get tired of it.
关于人们为何不用交友软件进行真正的约会,还有其他原因 。佐伊·斯特林贝尔是一位男女约会史学家 。她说通过app寻找伴侣会有太多选择和机会,这可能令约会过程不太愉快,人们也会变得疲惫 。

People are being horribly disillusioned. I think people have also started to feel jaded. People are feeling that they're aware that these relationships are often very callous and that's to do with the sort of incredible sense of choice.
现代人变得越来越不抱希望,我想他们也开始感到厌倦 。人们意识到这种关系通常比较冷漠,同时又希望寻求一种不可思议的选择 。
Neil: She says that people feel disillusioned and jaded. What does she mean?
她用disillusioned和jaded形容人们,是想表达什么意思呢?
Dan: When you are disillusioned it means that you are unhappy with and disappointed by something because it isn't as good as it used to be or it's not as good as you thought it was going to be. If you have many experiences like that you become jaded which means you become bored and lose interest in something.
如果你是disillusioned,意思是你因为某件事感到不开心或者失望,因为这件事不像过去那样好 , 或者说没有你想象中的好 。这种感觉多了,你就会变得jaded,意思是你对某件事感到厌烦 , 失去兴趣 。
Neil: She also commented that the dating experience can be callous.
她还提到约会经历可能会变得callous 。
Dan: This means that emotionally it can be very tough and you have to be ready to accept rejection or to reject people yourself and this is not always done in the kindest way.
callous意思就是感情上比较冷酷,你必须准备好接受拒绝,或者拒绝别人,这些拒绝通常情况下都不会很温和 。
Neil: Here's Zoe Strimpel again.
我们再来听一遍佐伊·斯特林贝尔的话 。

现代人变得越来越清醒,我想他们也开始感到厌倦 。人们已经意识到这种网络恋情通常比较冷漠,但依然选择继续,这挺不可思议的 。
