摘要：情人節(jié)快到了，情侶們都在想著怎么過情人節(jié)，但仍有成千上萬的單身男女在忍受著單身的孤獨，甚至會遭遇“單身歧視”。你知道怎么用英語表達嗎?

　　In the interview I was directly asked by the owner of the company if I was single or married, I told him。

　　I was single. He made it a point to acknowledge that the philosophy of the company was to hire married people. I was not offered a position although I had all the qualifications, this is an obvious case of Singlism.

　　面試的時候，公司的老總直接問我是未婚還是已婚，我告訴他我還是單身。他就表示說公司的理念是要雇用已婚人士，雖然我符合所有的條件，但依然沒有得到那份工作。這顯然就是“單身歧視”。

　　【講解】

　　“單身歧視”的英語表達是“Singlism”，是指對單身成年人的不公平的態(tài)度和行為，以及差別對待。英語解釋是：Unfair attitudes or behavior towards people who are not married or part of a couple. Singlism這個單詞跟racism(種族歧視)和sexism(性別歧視)近似。
