今天我想聊的是，我们是如何谈论爱情的。
OK,so today i want to talk about how we talk about love.
我尤其想聊的是。
And specifically.
我们谈论爱情的时候。
I want to talk about what's wrong.
到底哪出错了？
with how we talk about love.
我们大多数人在这一生中。
Most of us will probably fall in love a few times.
可能也深爱过几次。
over the course of our lives.
在英语语言里，坠落这个比喻。
and in the English language,this metaphor,falling.
是我们在谈论这种经历时，常用的说法。
is really the main way that we talk about that experience.
我不知道你是否这样。
I don't know about you.
但当我理解想象这个比喻时。
but when i conceptualize this metaphor.
我脑中的画面就像卡通片那样。
what i picture is straight out of a cartoon...
比如有一个人。
like there's a man.
他在人行道上走。
he's walking down the sidewalk.
他没注意到自己走过一个打开的井盖。
without realizing it,he crosses over an open manhole.
然后他就直接掉进进下水道里了。
and he just plummets into the sewer below.
