girlfriend voice
女友专用调
平时在办公室不苟言笑，大男人味十足的家伙跟他女儿讲话时可能会变成另外一个人。商场上咄咄逼人的女强人在另一半面前也可能是轻声细语、小鸟依人的样子。这样的角色转变我们都不陌生，或许每天都在经历。所以，如果身边有个男士时不时地用girlfriend voice跟女友说话，大家也不会觉得太稀奇吧。
Girlfriend voice refers to the change in pitch or tone of a man's voice when talking to their significant other. The girlfriend voice is characterized by a higher pitch and a more effeminate tone with speech patterns scattered with pet names and childish words.
女友专用调（girlfriend voice）指男士在跟自己的另一半说话时声调和语气上的变化。这种变化主要体现为：声调提高、语调更显温柔，并且不时夹杂着各种爱称和幼稚的语言。
This type of speech is usually frowned upon when used in the presence of other men. When another man uses this voice they will usually receive a fair amount of ridicule.
有其他男士在场的情况下，这种语调通常会被嗤之以鼻。如果有男士用这种语调说话，经常会受到嘲讽。
For example:
Did you hear Bob's wicked girlfriend voice when he was talking to Lisa? Let's give him some whip.
你听见鲍勃跟丽萨说话时的那个腔调了吗？咱们去教训教训他。
