“智者不入爱河”，学习4个有关“恋爱脑”的英文表述，秒变人间清醒……

人们都说，智者不入爱河，愚者为情所困。

"A wise man does not fall in love, but a fool is trapped by his feelings."

追剧爱好者会发现，许多偶像剧和玄幻剧中的角色，在高情商看来是“痴情种”，在低情商看来就是“恋爱脑”，总感觉这些人为了谈个恋爱，甚至可以付出一切。

如何用英语表达“恋爱脑”？双语君找来了如下答案：

❶Hopeless Romantic

“Hopeless”本身就有“无可救药”之意，“hopeless romantic”更是象征着不顾亲身体验，不管铁证如山，也不听他人劝告，对爱情充满理想化的人。

e.g. I feel I'm a hopeless romantic.

我觉得自己就是个彻头彻尾的恋爱脑。

❷Lovestruck

韦氏词典将“lovestruck”解释为“痴恋某个人，以至于深受爱情影响”，而词根“strike”也很有那种为爱冲昏头脑的感觉。

lovestruck: powerfully affected by feelings of romantic love for someone: deeply in love

e.g. Look at me, I'm behaving like a lovestruck teenager!

你看我，整个一恋爱脑青年！

❸Lovesick

根据柯林斯词典的释义，“lovesick”就是字面意思，相当于中文的“相思病”，尤其是爱而不得的单相思，让人变得古怪，容易犯傻。

If you describe someone as lovesick, you mean that they are so in love with someone who does not love them, that they are behaving in a strange and foolish way.

e.g. He was moping around like a lovesick teenager.

他闷闷不乐，活像个害了相思病的 少年。

❹Swoon over

“Swoon”意为“着迷、狂喜”，“swoon over”即是指“痴迷某人、神魂颠倒”，也就是我们常说的“爱情使人降智”。

e.g. The ladies swoon over his youthful good looks, while the men are impressed by his mastery of the arts.

女人们为他的年轻俊美而倾倒，男人们则为他的艺术才华而折腰。

“恋爱脑”具有两面性。《社会与人际关系杂志》的一项实验调查了270名18-28岁的年轻人，询问他们是否相信浪漫，对爱情有哪些期望，对伴侣的满意度如何，又许过怎样的承诺。

实验结果出乎意料，甚至令人振奋：越是相信浪漫的人（譬如热恋、牵挂、命运），越容易找到稳定而幸福的爱情，多愁善感和一段关系是否尽如人意并无关系。

Holding on to romantic beliefs (e.g. passion, connection, destiny) was associated with greater relationships commitment and satisfaction, and there was no link between the mushy beliefs and unmet relationship expectations .

这是为什么呢？有可能是真的找到了符合自己期望值的伴侣，也有可能是看爱人的时候自带粉红滤镜，正所谓情人眼里出西施。但不管怎么说，这些“恋爱脑”们很幸福。

How could this be? It is hard to say whether this is because they are seeing their partner through rose-colored glasses — e.g., their beliefs about prince charming make them think their partner is Prince Charming, even if other people might think that he is a frog — or if this is because they found and chose a partner who meets their expectations. But either way, they're happy.

但是“恋爱脑”也存在不少弊端，即使伴侣无法回应相同的爱与承诺，他们往往也会选择忽略、逃避现实。但如果经常对恋爱中的问题视而不见，可能会导致感情难以长久。

On the flip side, hopeless romantics are often unwilling to notice or respond to signs that a partner may not be sharing their same level of affection, admiration, or commitment to making the relationship work. They are often willing to turn a blind eye to the true issues happening in a relationship that may make partners unsuitable for a long-term relationship.

此外，这类人群容易缺乏安全感，不愿意主动倾诉或索取。他们总担心伴侣会离自己而去，认为自己是感情中付出更多、负担更重的一方。
