摘要：情人节快到了，情侣们都在想着怎么过情人节，但仍有成千上万的单身男女在忍受着单身的孤独，甚至会遭遇“单身歧视”。你知道怎么用英语表达吗?

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.

面试的时候，公司的老总直接问我是未婚还是已婚，我告诉他我还是单身。他就表示说公司的理念是要雇用已婚人士，虽然我符合所有的条件，但依然没有得到那份工作。这显然就是“单身歧视”。

【讲解】

“单身歧视”的英语表达是“Singlism”，是指对单身成年人的不公平的态度和行为，以及差别对待。英语解释是：Unfair attitudes or behavior towards people who are not married or part of a couple. Singlism这个单词跟racism(种族歧视)和sexism(性别歧视)近似。
