(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

约定好的聚会最怕被人 “放鸽子”。日常生活中，如果对方突然失约，你会选择原谅，拉黑，还是再也不约？

“放鸽子”，原指放飞白鸽（release white doves），象征和平，后用来比喻“定下了约会却不赴约（to intentionally¹ fail² to meet someone³ when you said⁴ you would）”，带有欺骗的含义，与英文短语stand somebody⁵ up意思相近。

例句：

我不知道她是故意放我的鸽子，还是只是迟到了——我会再等半个小时。

I don't know if I've been stood⁶ up or if she's just late - I'll wait another half hour.
