With a massive storm expected to drop up to 3 feet of snow on the Northeast U.S. before it ends Tuesday, a flurry of New Yorkers are placing online ads seeking "blizzard¹ buddies²" for companionship, snuggling and, in so many words, sex.

北美洲暴雪来袭，积雪将达3英尺厚，预计周二停止。一群纽约人于是为找人陪伴、依偎取暖——直截了当地说，就是性——开始上网发布寻“暴雪伴侣”的广告。

 

A search of Craiglist's recent personal ads for "snow" or "blizzard" turns up scores of New York-area listings -- many not safe for work -- from city dwellers³ looking for someone to hook up with while the storm rages outside.

在Craiglist上的最新个人广告中搜索“snow”和“blizzard”，你会发现许多纽约居民发布的信息——其中很多不适合在工作的时候看——在暴雪肆虐的时候找个伴。

 

"Seeking snuggle buddy⁴ for upcoming blizzard. Will make u pancakes and coffee and hot chocolate all day. You'll also get my Netflix password. I have lots of thick blankets and interesting books to read if we get snowed in," read one of the tamer listings, from a 26-year-old man in Ridgewood, New Jersey⁵.

新泽西州里奇伍德一名26岁男子在一条平谈无奇的信息中写道，“暴雪将至，寻依偎伴侣。会整天为你做煎饼、咖啡和热巧克力。我的Netflix密码也会告诉你。如果被大雪封住，我还有很多厚毯子和有趣的书可读。”
