什么是“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。商场上平易近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。这样的角色转变咱们都不陌生，或者每天都在经历。所以，假如身边有个男士时不断地用girlfriend voice跟女友说话，大家也不会觉得太稀奇吧。中专商务英语就来看看这种专有名词“女友专用调”该如何形容呢？

　　
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。
