stand somebody up 放鸽子

（单词翻译:单击）

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.
