       Third wheel
  Angela: "You two go on ahead without me. I don't want to be the third wheel."
  安吉拉:你们两个去吧,我可不想当电灯泡。
  The "third wheel" refers to the person who is the outsider when there is a group of three.
  中文意思:第三者;电灯泡。
  Two's company three's a crowd
  Angela: "I hope he does not come over to our table; two's company; three's a crowd."
  安吉拉:我希望他别来我们桌,两人成伴三人不欢。
  We say "two's company; three's a crowd" because sometimes two people are having fun together and would not have as much fun if a third person joined them.
  中文意思:两人成伴三人不和。
