1
It's an odd feature of love that some of our most romantic moments can include the following scenarios.
2
Being with a lover who lives a whole continent away from us and can never move to be closer.
3
An infatuation with a lover who is married to somebody else and has no will ever to leave them.
4
A romance with someone dying of a disease that will kill them within a matter of months.
5
A crush on someone at the library,
6
who we never talk to yet think of obsessively,
7
even when it turns out they have a partner.
8
Or the last days of a holiday romance before we have to take a gruelling 12-hour flight back home.
9
What unites all these situations is an external obstacle to love,
10
which, paradoxically, serves to make our desire more intense.
11
We might suppose that our love would be strong in spite of the challenges.
12
But the situation is weirder than this.
13
Our love is strong precisely because a proper relationship is not possible in the real world,
14
because love is fated to be in some way unrequited or incomplete.
15
People stuck in these unrequited situations can garner a lot of sympathy and seem like the natural friends of true love.
16
But they tend to be no such things.
17
They are timid visitors to the land of love,
18
who have carefully chosen situations which will prevent them from ever taking up more permanent residence.
19
They are self-saboteurs who would rather be in control of a sad situation than half out of control of a happy one.
20
They have carefully made sure that there is no chance either to disappoint or to be disappointed.
21
It is the external obstacle that gives them the security to surrender themselves totally
22
to feelings that they would keep well at bay if,
23
miraculously, the obstacle were to be removed.
24
To feel a lot for someone who is available is an emotionally highly flammable requirement.
25
The possibilities for getting hurt are enormous.
26
We might learn to trust a lover over many years
27
and then promptly find that they decided to leave us or died in the night.
28
We couldn't survive.
29
Our defences mask too gelatinous and insecure in an interior.
30
We would have given them the keys to our self-confidence
31
and direction and would struggle after so long to know how to carry on.
32
Not all of us have the psychological histories
33
that make us robust enough to dare to enter situations where mutual trust is a risk
34
that we can dare to endure day to day.
35
We may have been let down too badly as children,
36
perhaps a parent left or humiliated us,
37
and we are at some level therefore profoundly determined never again to surrender in the true sense to another person.
38
We don't put it that way to ourselves, of course.
39
We're most likely not even aware of the pattern we're involved in.
40
We just feel very in love whenever someone happens to reside very far away,
41
while we report that a person who has an apartment round the corner is truly very boring and not that sexy.
42
It sounds for a time before you can start to see the pattern rather plausible.
43
The true challenge of relationships is not to fall in love with someone who may never want to see us again.
44
It is to accept the far more interesting and truly heroic challenge of falling in love with someone who isn't dying,
45
isn't stationed in the Arctic or married to somebody else,
46
someone who would have no objection to seeing us pretty much all the time.
47
Impossible situations feel so romantic not because we have found a soulmate,
48
but because the absence of risk has loosened our hearts.
49
But we should, with time,
50
more fairly, learn to dare to turn our amorous attentions to that deeply dangerous,
51
threatening, but ultimately rewarding character.
52
The person we know, the person who likes us a lot,
53
lot and the person who's available all the time.
54
Now that would be truly romantic.
55

背景与语境
这段讲述爱情的短片探讨了爱在某些情况中往往显得异常复杂。例如，爱上一个身在异国他乡的恋人，或是一位已婚者，甚至是一个面临生死考验的人。这些情境都使爱情变得更加激烈，因为它们中都存在某种外部障碍。当这种障碍使得建立稳定的关系变得不可能时，一些人反而选择继续沉迷于这些无法实现的情感之中。这种心理现象让我们思考，为什么我们常常会被无法拥有的人所吸引，而忽视那些在我们身边，能够给予我们幸福的人。
日常交流中常用的五个短语
- 无奈的爱情 - 描述一种因外在原因无法发展的感情。
- 有时候，什么都不说就是最好的选择 - 在面临不确定性时，保持距离有时也是一种保护。
- 吸引力使我们盲目 - 强调我们对不可得之物的执着可能掩盖现实。
- 情感的折磨 - 形容在复杂的爱恋中，情感如何影响我们的心理状态。
- 选择永远无法实现的爱 - 反映出人们有意识或无意识地选择不可能的关系。

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
