男人什麼顏色的帽子不能戴？當然是綠色的帽子！因為一個男人若被人家說「戴綠帽」，那就是指他的老婆出軌了。不過「戴綠帽」的英文可不是「wear a green hat」喔！應該用「two-timed」，其意為「欺騙另一半」。也可以用動詞片語「 cheat on」，來形容某人的伴侶「劈腿」。

A：Why does he look so depressed? He’s not even interested in eating his favorite ginger duck soup!

B：Keep it down. His wife just cheated on him. He was two-timed!

A：他怎麼看起來失魂落魄的樣子？連他最愛的薑母鴨都引不起食慾！

B：小聲點。他太太剛外遇，讓他戴了綠帽！
