If someone is bi-curious, they are heterosexual — drawn to a different sex — but they also feel some interest in trying a relationship or a sexual experience with a person of the same sex. They are not saying “I am bisexual.” They are saying “I am wondering; I might try.” The bi is the same bi as in bisexual (two / both).

If someone is bi-curious如果一個人是 bi-curious, they他 are heterosexual是異性戀 — drawn to a different sex被異性吸引 — but they但他 also feel some interest in trying a relationship or a sexual experience with a person of the same sex也對嘗試跟同性發展感情或性經驗有點興趣。 They他們 are not saying "I am bisexual"不是在說「我是雙性戀」. They他們 are saying "I am wondering; I might try"是在說「我在好奇；我可能會試試看」. The bi bi 這個部分 is the same bi as in bisexual跟 bisexual 裡的 bi 是同一個 (two / both意思是「二」或「兩者」)。

The word showed up in newspaper personal ads around 1984 and is still informal: dating profiles, magazines, and talk among friends, not a law or a doctor’s form.

The word這個字 showed up in newspaper personal ads around 1984大約在1984年出現在報紙的交友分類廣告裡 and is still informal現在還是很口語: dating profiles, magazines, and talk among friends用在交友檔案、雜誌、朋友間的閒聊, not a law or a doctor's form而不是法律或醫療文件會用的詞。

Though actually, people stretch it. Some already know they are not only heterosexual and still use bi-curious because it feels softer, less final, than bisexual. Others dislike it, because it can sound as if same-sex feeling is only a test.

Though actually不過實際上, people大家 stretch it會把這個詞用得更寬。 Some有些人 already know they are not only heterosexual早就知道自己不完全是異性戀 and still use bi-curious卻還是用 bi-curious, because it feels softer, less final, than bisexual因為這個詞感覺比較柔和、沒那麼絕對，比 bisexual 溫和。 Others有些人則 dislike it不喜歡這個詞, because it因為它 can sound as if same-sex feeling is only a test聽起來好像對同性的感覺只是一種測試。

Use it when someone chooses it for themselves, not as a label you stick on them.

Use it when someone chooses it for themselves當一個人自己選擇用這個詞來形容自己時再用, not as a label you stick on them而不是拿來當標籤貼在別人身上。
