Turning down a date can be tricky, particularly when you don’t feel comfortable to blurt out: 'I'm just not that into you.'
拒绝约会也是需要技巧的,尤其当你不好意思直说“我只是没那么喜欢你而已”的时候。

Since being so honest can be embarrassing and awkward, many people scramble to come up with fake reasons for why they don't want to meet up with an eager admirer.
因为太过坦诚可能会让人感到尴尬和难堪,所以许多人绞尽脑汁地编造各种理由来说明他们为什么不愿意和一位狂热追求者见面。

But it seems that some users of the secret-sharing Whisper app went to a whole lot of trouble to wriggle out of a less-than-appealing date, offering up excuses that are strange, imaginative, and sometimes totally unbelievable.
但是在秘密分享程序“耳语”(Whisper)上,有些用户为了逃避不太想去的约会,千方百计编造出一些千奇百怪的、超乎想象、有时候甚至难以置信的理由来拒绝约会。

Clearly thrilled with their ingenious excuses, however, many people couldn’t wait to offer them up for public review - using the app's promise of anonymity to spill without repercussions.
这些用户对自己机智的理由沾沾自喜,所以大多数人迫不及待地把这些理由分享到公共平台上—用这款承诺匿名发布内容的APP就可以在分享时无所顾忌了。

'I can't, I'm at Walmart,' one woman wrote when a man texted her about meeting up. When he checked in again three hours later to ask if she was home yet, she said: 'No, I'm still at Walmart.'
“不行,我在沃尔玛呢”一位女士在男士短信邀约见面时这样回答。三个小时后这位男士再一次问她是否回到家了,这位女士回答:“没有,我还在沃尔玛。”

Some people blamed their pets for making them unavailable, with one saying: 'My pet ferret has anxiety attacks so I can't be away from him for too long or he'll get worried about me.'
有些人抱怨自己的宠物让他们忙得抽不开身,其中有一个人这样说:“我的宠物雪貂焦虑症发作了,我不能离开它太久,要不它会担心我的。

'Sorry, I've got an appointment to get my cat declawed that night,' wrote another, before admitting to Whisper users that she didn't actually have a cat.
另外有人说:“对不起,那天晚上我约了美容师给我的猫剪指甲”,之后她向“耳语”用户承认其实她根本没养猫。
