纽约单身汉Jozen曾在博客中写道：“所有公共场合亲密行为中，两人间最亲密的行为莫过于牵手了。牵手不仅宣告两人在一起的事实，还将两人的幸福一并传达出来。情侣们会疯狂地亲吻、拥抱。但他们会疯狂地牵手么？答案当然是不会。”

Public Display of Affection is so common and varied that it's earned its own acronym, the PDA.

公共场合亲密行为很常见，也很多样化。它已经拥有了自己的首字母缩略词——PDA。

I was recently in London sharing a coffee with my uncle, who's in his 50s. When we went to leave a teenage couple was wildly embracing and kissing in the doorway in front of us. "If they really loved each other they wouldn’t feel the need to do that," he muttered disapprovingly.

不久前，我和50多岁的叔叔在伦敦喝咖啡。临走时，一对十多岁的情侣在我们前面的门口处疯狂地拥吻。“如果真爱对方，他们完全没有必要这样做，”叔叔不以为然地低声说。

SarahMaddock, a 26-year-old Londoner, explains that a lot of young people aren't thinking about the long term when they date someone:"Kissing and touching are fueled by passion and don't necessarily mean people plan to be together forever. But a couple quietly holding hands shows something deeper."

对此，26岁的伦敦市民SarahMaddock解释说，很多年轻人约会时没有考虑得很长远。“激情促使他们亲吻、爱抚彼此，但这并不一定意味着两人打算厮守终身。而静静牵手的情侣们则宣告着更为深入的关系。”
