這裡講的不是電燈用的燈泡 (lightbulb)
而是當一對情侶約會或一起從事某種活動時, 在一旁作陪, 礙事又尷尬的第三者 ”電燈泡”
在英文裡把這種人叫 a / the third wheel
字面上就是 ”第三個輪子”
很妙的比喻
兩輪硬多加一輪, 就是會礙事, 怎麼走都不順呀~

I’m an American English teacher in Taiwan who works almost exclusively with adults.
I don’t teach tests, textbooks, or children.
My classes focus on speaking, pronunciation, and natural conversation, with real correction — not just chatting.
Classes are 100% in English (this actually helps speaking more than people expect).
I’m opening a few new conversation slots right now.
If you’re an adult who wants to actually speak better, feel free to comment or message me.
