Let's get started with the love and romance idioms.
讓我們開始學習這些有關愛情的浪漫短語。
The first one is a match made in Heaven.
第一個是"a match made in Heaven"。
A match made in Heaven.
"A match made in Heaven".
What do you think it means?
這是什麼意思呢？
Have a little think.
動腦想一下。
A match made in Heaven is a couple that is seemingly perfect.
這句話是指一對情侶看上去很合適。
They are a perfect match.
他們是一對完美的情侶。
The relationship is likely to be very, very successful.
這是一段非常非常完美的戀愛關係。

你要進行一個double date。
What do you think it is?
你覺得它是什麼意思？
A double date is a date involving two couples.
這個短語指的是一場約會中有兩對情侶。
So if you and your partner go on a date, or out for dinner, or to the cinema, with another friend and their partner, that's a double date.
所以，如果你和你的另一半與另外一對情侶去約會，比如吃晚餐，去電影院看電影，這就叫雙重約會。
It's a really nice thing to do.
兩對情侶一起約會很有趣。
Okay, the next one, number three, is to be an item.
好的，下一個，第三個，"to be an item"。
To be an item.
To be an item.
Sounds really obvious, of course I'm an item.
聽起來很明顯，我當然是個"東西"了。
I'm an object.
我是一個物品。
Don't treat me as an object.
不要把我當作物品對待。
Don't treat me as an object!
不要把我當作物品對待！
To be an item means that you're involved with someone.
To be an item意味著你與某人相愛。
So it might be used in a situation like " Are you two an item? " Are you two official yet? " are you really boyfriend and girlfriend, " or boyfriend and boyfriend, or girlfriend and girlfriend, or whatever? " And you would say " Yeah, we're an item".
因此，它可能會用在"你們兩個是情侶嗎？你們兩個正式在一起了？你們倆是男女朋友關係？或男男朋友關係？或者是女女朋友關係？無論如何，你們會回答，對，我們是情侶關係。
It's a nice one. It's quite slang.
很實用的短語，在口語中很常用。
Number four, you might have heard this before.
第四，你可能以前聽過這個。
It is to be head over heels in love.
就是"to be head over heels in love"。
And this just means to be really, really in love with someone. and you can also fall head over heels in love, " I fell head over heels in love with him".
這句話是指你真的真的愛上了一個人。你為他神魂顛倒，"我與他墜入了愛河"。
Number five is to pop the question.
第五個短語是"To pop the question "。
To pop the question.
"pop the question".
I've never had anyone pop the question to me in person.
我從來沒有別人向我"pop the question"的經歷呢。
I've had a couple of email questions.
不過我倒是經常收到你們的郵件提問。
But to pop the question is to ask for somebody's hand in marriage.
所以這個短語的意思就是求婚了。
It means to ask somebody if they would like to be your husband or wife.
也就是問你心愛的人願不願意成為你的丈夫或者妻子。
And then, number six, after popping the question, you then, hopefully, tie the knot.
第六個短語，在求婚之後，希望兩人可以"tie the knot"
To tie the knot, and to tie the knot is to get married.
"tie the knot"的意思就是喜結良緣。
So my mum and dad tied the knot 27 years ago.
我的父母是在27年前結婚的。
Oh my God.
天吶。
The next one, puppy love.
下一個短語，"puppy love"。
Oh my God, this one is so cute.
天吶，這個詞超級可愛。
And for my entire childhood, I thought that this was just that you loved baby dogs, but it's not.
我小時候一直以為這個詞是指你超級喜歡小奶狗，但其實不是。
Puppy lug, puppy lug?
小狗，口誤。
Puppy love is adolescent romance.
"Puppy love "是指少男少女朦朧愛戀。
You're a teenager, you're young, and you feel like the most important, most in love, most romantic person in the world with your boyfriend or girlfriend, and nothing else matters, all that matters is your love for that person, that's puppy love,
because it's not necessarily, I'm not gonna say real, 'cause feelings can feel really, really strong, especially when you're young, but it's not maybe the most logical thing on Earth.
那時候你是個少年，非常年輕，在你眼中最重要的就是你和你初戀對象，其他一切都無關緊要，就是這種愛情，我不會說這種感情不真實，因為你心中的感情一定很強烈，只是畢竟年紀小，這樣的愛情或許並不是理智的吧。
The next one, number eight, a blind date.
下一個，第八個短語"a blind date"。
A blind date.
"a blind date"
What is a blind date?
這是什麼意思呢？
Now, it could be a date that can't see, but not in an idiomatic sense.
字面意思是看不見的約會，不過是個英語習語。
A blind date is when somebody else chooses somebody for you, and sets you up.
它是指別人幫你挑中了某個對象，別人替你做好安排。
When somebody sets you up, that's a good phrasal verb, to set up, they set you up on a date with somebody that you don't know, and so you both arrive at this date, and it's the first time you've met each other.
別人幫你安排好相親對象，這是個不錯的短語，別人幫你安排對象，而這個人你並不認識，你倆在約定時間來到約定地點那是你們人生中第一次見到彼此。
So that's a blind date.
這就是"相親"。
It can be quite a risky thing, to leave your love life in the hands of somebody else.
這是個挺有風險的事，因為你將一輩子的幸福交由別人安排。
Number nine, to be on the rocks.
第九個，"to be on the rocks"。
To be on the rocks.
"To be on the rocks".
This one's not so nice.
這個短語不是很好。
If your relationship is on the rocks, it means there's problems with the relationship, and you might break up soon.
如果一段關係到這個程度，那就意味著這段關係瀕臨破裂狀態，很快就會分手。
It's not going well.
進展不順利。
So you definitely don't want your relationship to be on the rocks, but if it is on the rocks, then hopefully you'll be able to sort it out, another good phrasal verb there， sort it out， and fix the problems。
所以沒人希望自己的愛情陷入困境，但要是真的觸了礁，希望你們能早點解決問題，又是一個值得學習的短語，"sort it out"，意思是解決問題。
And the final one, to get hitched.
最後一個短語是"to get hitched"
To get hitched.
"to get hitched".
To get hitched is exactly the same as to tie the knot.
"To get hitched"的意思和"to tie the knot"完全一樣。
It means to get married.
就是結婚、喜結連理的意思。
