(单词翻译:单击)
323. 他俩上中学时堕入爱河,那时被别人称作早恋,但十年后他们竟真的结为夫妻了。
[误] They fell in love with each other when they were middle school students, and that was called "early love"
by others. But ten years later, they actually get married.
[正] They fell in love with each other when they were middle school students, and that was called "puppy love" by others. But ten years later, they actually get married.
注:“早恋”指未成年男女过早地涉足爱情,它一般被认为是不成熟和不宜提倡的。在英语中,“早恋”的地道说法是 puppy love 或 calf love。如:He is mad about his biology teacher, but it\'s only puppy love.
