Jo: I'm Jo and this is Real English from BBC Learning English.


Lily: Hello I'm Lily. 在两分钟的《地道英语》节目当中,我们会带领大家一起来学习一些当代英式英语中新出现的流行词语。


Jo: Today Lily, we're talking about romance and the expression whirlwind romance. Whirlwind W.H.I.R.L.W.I.N.D. and romance R.O.M.A.N.C.E. Whirlwind romance.


Lily: Whirlwind romance 会是什么意思呢?哎, Jo, whirlwind 不是旋风的意思吗?


Jo: That's right Lily. A whirlwind is a strong swirling 1 wind that is very quick and often unexpected; so a whirlwind romance is a romance that happens very quickly and quite unexpectedly.


Lily: 这么说, a whirlwind romance 就是那种突然,快速的恋爱,换句话说,就是闪电式的罗曼提克。


Jo: So you get some couples who meet and perhaps within a few months they get married; that would be a whirlwind romance.


Lily: 如果一对夫妇在认识不多久就结婚了,那么你就可以使用这个短语 a whirlwind romance 闪电式结婚。


Jo: Let's listen to another example.

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?


Lily: Have you ever had a whirlwind romance Jo?


Jo: I'm afraid to say I haven't. Sounds quite exciting though! Have you?


Lily: Well, sort of. But it ended in disaster.


Jo: Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Well, this programme has been a bit of a whirlwind programme hasn't it Lily?
