◎陳成良

Paris Hilton hasn’t had sex for seven months. Earlier this year, Paris vowed to stay celibate for at least 12 months and insists she has stuck to her self-imposed sex ban.

芭黎絲．希爾頓7個月沒有性生活了。今年稍早，芭黎絲誓言至少要維持獨身12個月，並堅稱她恪遵自訂的禁慾令。

She said："I have been celibate for about six or seven months, I think. I would rather just make out and kiss someone instead of sex."

她說：「我已經獨身6、7個月了，我想。我寧願只找個人摸摸親親，而不想上床。」

The socialite has also rubbished rumors she has rekindled her romance with Greek shipping heir Stavros Niarchos saying she is definitely single and not looking for romance.

這位社交名媛也駁斥有關她與希臘船業小開史塔佛斯．尼亞裘斯舊情復燃的傳言，表示她目前絕對是單身，也不想談戀愛。

The 25-year-old blonde-who has recently been partying hard with new best friend Britney Spears-also extended some advice to young girls about how to get the respect of men.

這位25歲金髮美女最近與新結交的姊妹淘布蘭妮瘋狂跑趴，但她也對少女提出一些如何能贏得男人尊重的忠告。

She said："I’d rather not do anything. Guys want you more when you don’t. Young girls should know that."

她說：「我寧願什麼也不做。妳不想要時，男生會更想要妳，少女們該明白這道理。 」

新聞辭典

celibate：獨身的；獨身主義的。I am celibate.這句話就是明確告訴別人，你不想結婚，是獨身主義者。而描述目前的婚姻狀況為獨身，一般常用single或bachelor。相較於single和bachelor，celibate 更強調「禁慾」。

make out：原來意為理解、發現，但本文的make out在美國俚語中，是指接吻、愛撫、性交等親密舉動。

heir：（男）繼承人；子嗣。例句：He is an heir to a large fortune.（他是大筆財產的繼承人。）至於號稱「趴界一姐」的話題女王芭黎絲，則是希爾頓飯店集團的女繼承人（heiress）。

blonde：白膚金髮碧眼的人、金髮美女。具黑（或深褐）色頭髮、淺黑色皮膚的白種人，則稱為brunette。
