By Friday afternoon, Zhang’s response to the rumours was the top trending topic on microblogging platform Sina Weibo.
top trending:当前热点
microblog:微博,当然我更愿意用weibo
But Swift’s fans on Chinese social media largely derided the speculation surrounding the pair. Many pointed out that based on Swift’s dating history, she was unlikely to date someone like Zhang.
deride: ridicule, mock, jeer at, scoff at, jibe at, make fun of ,还可以列举几个“嘲弄”的短语,但是deride和ridicule最书面,其他都比较口语化。
dating history: 以后问老外交过几个男(女)朋友,可以别总问How many boyfriends/girlfriends have you dated? 可以换个说法:Can you talk about your dating history? (特别是不确定对方取向的时候) 。
Her former beaus have included US singer John Mayer, Scottish singer Calvin Harris, as well as English singer and member of pop boy band One Direction, Harry Styles.
beau: a boyfriend or male admirer; a rich, fashionable young man. 其实beau是个法语,就是帅哥的意思,对应的美女是belle。
She most recently dated English actor Tom Hiddleston, who acted in the Marvel superhero films Thor and The Avengers.

After the live-streaming session, Zhang's comments went viral on Weibo, the South China Morning Post reported. Some fans of the American singer criticised the tycoon. "He offended every foreign woman ," one wrote. Another said: "It's not as if Taylor would be interested in him."
坦白讲,对于一个在纳斯达克上市的公司CEO,面对这种网络rumor,最好还是让公司PR部门出面澄清,查尔斯虽然在美国呆过,可是还是没有摸清楚“政治正确”的真谛,你完全可以这么说:"I am more into Asian girls"
With the Sohu founder struck off the list of possibilities, the search continues for Swift's alleged new love in China, the Shanghaiist said.
strike off:Removed from a list or register. Removed, usually from a position of power or responsibility or stature. 这里等于be removed from
It added that another tech tycoon Lei Jun, CEO of smartphone giant Xiaomi, was ruled out by netizens because of his poor English skills.
rule out = exclude = strik off = be removed from
而雷军,虽然大家都说他的英语很差(Are You OK?),但是人家今天就飞到波士顿参加哈佛大学的活动去了,谁知道有没有时间会会其他朋友呢 lol
