據(jù)說，十一長假期間，很多回家探親的單身男女都“被相親”了。很多人表示無奈。在我們身邊，也有一些人選擇主動出擊，組織熟人相親會，也就是俗稱的“換草運(yùn)動”。

The term “acquaintance blind date” literally means “exchanging grass”, with grass referring to young men. Such events are usually initiated by “l(fā)eftover women” — single women who have passed the best age for getting married. These women may bring single male friends, colleagues or relatives to a get-together and expect to find their Mr. Right among their peers’ male friends.

“換草運(yùn)動”其實就是熟人召集的相親會，這里的“草”指年輕男子。這種活動多數(shù)都是由大齡單身女們組織的，她們會把各自身邊的男性朋友、同事或親戚組織到一起參加聚會，希望能從對方帶來的朋友中找到自己的另一半。

This event originates from an online post that proposed to exchange male friends or colleagues with other single women since it’s not a good idea to develop a romantic relationship in the same office.

“換草運(yùn)動”是由網(wǎng)絡(luò)上的一個帖子引發(fā)的，發(fā)貼人提議，既然大家都不方便發(fā)展辦公室戀情，那就跟別的單身女交換認(rèn)識身邊的男性朋友或同事。
