acquaintance blind date 换草运动
The term “acquaintance blind date” literally means “exchanging grass”, with grass referring to young men. Such events are usually initiated by “leftover 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.
“换草运动”其实就是熟人召集的相亲会,这里的“草”指年轻男子。这种活动多数都是由大龄单身女们组织的,她们会把各自身边的男性朋友、同事或亲戚组织到一起参加聚会,希望能从对方带来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.
“换草运动”是由网络上的一个帖子引发的,发贴人提议,既然大家都不方便发展办公室恋情,那就跟别的单身女交换认识身边的男性朋友或同事。
