Tina: Today Kitty, we're talking about romance and the expression whirlwind romance.
Kitty: Whirlwind romance 會是什么意思呢?哎, Tina, whirlwind 不是旋風的意思嗎?
Tina: That's right Kitty. A whirlwind is a strong swirling wind that is very quick and often unexpected; so a whirlwind romance is a romance that happens very quickly and quite unexpectedly.
Kitty: 這么說, a whirlwind romance 就是那種突然,快速的戀愛,換句話說,就是閃電式的羅曼提克。
Tina: So you get some couples who meet and perhaps within a few months they get married; that would be a whirlwind romance.
Kitty: 如果一對夫婦在認識不多久就結(jié)婚了,那么你就可以使用這個短語 a whirlwind romance 閃電式結(jié)婚。
Tina: Let's listen to another example.
Examples
A: Is Claire still going out with Peter?
B: Oh no, they split up about a month ago. They were together about two months, were madly in love, and then it all went wrong.
A: Oh, a bit of a whirlwind romance then eh?
