Chapter 44 Falling in Love
第44章坠入爱河

When do you think people normally fall in love? How can people know when they fall in love?
你觉得人们什么时候会坠入爱河呢？别人怎么知道他们相爱了呢？

I don't know. I have never had a boyfriend.
我不知道。我没交过男朋友。

Just imagine.
想想看。

I imagine that they will think about their lover every second of every minute of every day.
我猜他们会每时每刻想着他们的爱人。

And they will want to live together, I think that's a part of being in love.
他们会想一起生活，我觉得这是相爱的一部分。

The feeling of being in love, or having a crush is different from other types of love.
相爱或热恋是与其他的爱不同的。

At what age do people usually fall in love? Or how old do you think they have their first boyfriend or girlfriend?
你认为人们通常多大开始恋爱或者说有第一个男朋友、女朋友？

20
20岁。

20？People have the first boyfriend or girlfriend?
20岁？他们才有第一个男朋友或女朋友？

Yes, although some people are more precocious. They might meet in middle school.
是的。虽然有些人要早熟一些——可能在中学就约会了，

I also know some people who wait until they are 25 or 30. Then they find a partner.
但我也认识一些一直等到25岁或30岁才开始找对象的人。

Normally in the past city kids start going steady at a slightly younger age than those from the countryside.
但是一般来讲，过去城市里的年轻人找男朋友或是女朋友要早于农村的年轻人。

But one of my students told me that nowadays rural kids date at the age of 20, just as old as city kids do.
听我一个学生讲，现在城市的孩子和农村孩子开始恋爱的时间都大概在20岁左右。

Possibly. So far it's concerned the difference between country side and cities are not so conspicuous.
可能吧。城市和农村在这方面的差异并不太明显。
