2006.08.11 : I had my puppy love in the university.
我的初恋在大学时代。puppy love指初恋。
puppy 是小狗,但这与爱情又有甚么关系呢?这是指小狗的爱情吗?
事实上,Puppy love 与小狗是没有关系的,其正确意思就是指少男少女的第一次恋爱,亦即是“初恋”。大多数人的初恋都是甜蜜的,如我们可以说:
Joseph’s puppy love took place at his age of sixteen and it brought him a sweet memory in his life.约瑟夫的初恋发生在他十六岁时,这段初恋成为他生命中甜美的回忆。
此外,初恋除了可以用小狗来形容,也可以用上小牛( calf ),即 Calf love。
例如我们可以说:Amy and Kenneth are serious about their calf love although they are still young.虽然艾米与肯尼思很年轻,但他们对这段初恋很认真。
海纳百川,有容乃大;壁立千仞,无欲则刚。
