邂逅一段“旅途戀情”

錢(qián)鐘書(shū)先生在《圍城》一書(shū)中曾指出，認(rèn)識(shí)一個(gè)人最好的方式就是和他(她)去旅行。同樣， 我們?cè)诼猛局幸部赡苡龅揭欢卫寺母星椋@種戀情維持起來(lái)就不那么容易了。

Locationship refers to a brief romantic encounter usually occuring while traveling or on vacation, occasionally outwardly resembling a conventional relationship, but without any underlying comittment. May be rekindled at future opportunities.

旅途戀情指的是發(fā)生在旅程或者度假期間的短暫的浪漫邂逅，表面上或者像是傳統(tǒng)戀情，但沒(méi)有更深的承諾。也許兩人的戀情會(huì)在日后復(fù)燃。

The word locationship is often used with slightly negative overtones, carrying the implication that a relationship is not long-lasting and meaningful, but based purely on convenience and physical proximity.

旅途戀情這一說(shuō)法使用時(shí)略帶負(fù)面含義，暗指這并非長(zhǎng)久戀情，也并無(wú)太大意義，而純粹是基于交往的便利以及兩人的接近。

A locationship is something between a casual fling and full-blown romance, liable to fizzle out if a change of circumstances brings about a change in geographical location for either of the two people involved.

旅途戀情介于偶爾的調(diào)情和成熟的戀情之間，如果情況有變，兩人所處的地理位置因此相隔變遠(yuǎn)，戀情就很容易告吹。

例句：

Melissa? yeah, she's cool. We had a brief locationship at the company retreat last fall.

梅麗莎?是的，她很棒。去年秋天我們?cè)诠净顒?dòng)期間有過(guò)一段短暫的旅途戀情。
