3. 慾火沖天，驚心動魄：如果一對情侶，愛得死去活來，彼此撫摸得慾火達到頂峰，那麼也可以說：
When they touch each other, their hormones are raging.（當他們彼此撫摸時，他們就很衝動。）
(rage 本意是發怒、肆虐，老外認為荷爾蒙或體內激素如果作怪肆虐，就是表示性慾衝動。) ; 或
The chemistry between him and her was unbelievable. (他們之間的愛情慾火，難以令人相信。)
(這裡的 chemistry 是指熱情或愛情，也就是 interactive feeling。)
They were on the sofa kissing and lying all over each other.（他們在沙發上親吻摟抱);
或者說：
There seems to be an intense physical attraction to each other.（他們之間的身體接觸，似乎到了頂峰。）
甚至可以說：
They are on the verge of becoming sexual active. (他們到了做愛的邊緣)
說白些，就是：
Pretty soon he will impregnate her. (很快的，他就會使她受孕。)
做父母的，如要勸告兒女不可一時情感衝動，應該多用理智，也可以說：
Let your head rule over your heart. (讓你的理智控制你的感情。) (head 指理智，heart 指感情; 也就是 use your head first)
或者說：
Although you are deeply in love, you should choose to let your head rule over your heart.
父母也可勸告兒女，愛情是需要時間培養，不可著急：
Love takes time; it will not happen over night. (愛情需要時間，不是一夜就能發生。) ; 或
You should not hurry love. (不可倉促談戀愛。)
Don't mess up your life with unplanned pregnancy. (不要因為沒有計畫的懷孕而影響你的生活。)
Your frequent physical touching can lead to serious consequences. (你們身體的常常接觸，會導致嚴重的後果。)
如果孩子風流成性，朝三暮四，父母也可勸告說：
Love or passion based on lust or infatuation will not last. (基於性慾或外表迷戀的愛情是不能持久的。) (lust 是指性慾或外表漂亮； infatuation 指迷戀)
Sex does not equal love; don't mistake one for the other. (性交未必就是真愛，不可混為一談) (love 才是永恆的)
Don't proceed to sleep with anyone in a skirt. (不可隨便與任何女人上床)
(注意：in a skirt 多半指女人，雖然女人也穿長褲，但不說 in the pants；勸女人時，也只說 Don't …… with anyone who wears the pants.); 或
Keep your pants zipped until you know you love your chosen mate. (拉緊你的褲鍊，直到你真正愛你選擇的伴侶。); 或
Never fall in and out of love as the wind changes. (不可亂談戀愛，朝三暮四，像風變方向一樣)
4. 忠心耿耿，私定終身：如果男女雙方形影不離，難分難捨或是非君莫嫁，非卿莫娶，那麼可以說：
He is too much in love to break it off. (他墜入愛之深淵，無法自拔。)
She feels like a love-struck（或 love-stricken) woman.（她像一位為愛情發狂的女人)
(love-struck 意思是 crazy about someone；動詞時態是：strike, struck 或 stricken)
He is irreplaceable in her heart. (在她心目中，他是別人不能替代的。)
She is on his mind 24 hours a day; he is dying to see her. (他 24 小時都在想她；他非常盼望見到她。）
(is dying = highly anticipating)
He asks her not to date anyone else. (他請她不要再交別的男友)
(She agrees not to if he promises her the same thing.) (她同意不交其他男友，只要他也同樣守信。)
換句話就是：
She is going steady with him. (她固定只跟他來往); 或
He is tying himself down to this one girl. (他固定只交這位女友; 就是為這位女孩綁住自己) (動詞時態：tie, tied, tying)
老外認為只要雙方真心相愛，年齡和過去歷史不是考慮因素：
When there is love and commitment between two people, age and past history make no difference. (只要雙方相愛和許願，年齡和過去不是問題。)
Even though her father was dead set against her marriage, they finally snuck off. (雖然她父親堅決反對她的婚事，他們最後還是私奔。)
(dead set = definitely; sneak off = to elope) (動詞時態：sneak, snuck 或 sneaked 意思是潛逃)
也許父母無法接受不結婚而同居的方式吧！
Her parents can not accept sleeping-together without marriage.
