Today we talk about expressions related to a powerful emotion: love. More specifically, we talk about expressions related to love gone or not quite right: Relationships that do not work out, relationships that are more trouble than they are worth, and relationships that make you wish you were alone.
After all, while some happy couples are celebrating Valentine’s Day, plenty of other people have more complicated relationships.
Our first expression may sound impossible. It is the love-hate relationship “Love” and “hate” are opposites, but they are both strong emotions. In the case of a love-hate relation-ship, a couple just keeps going back and forth between the two feelings. One day they fight like cats and dogs. Another day they sing together like lovebirds.
You can also have a love-hate relationship with something besides another person. If you love some parts about your work5 but hate other parts of it, you can say you have a love-hate relationship with your job.
Another expression that relates to opposing feelings is, “There is a fine line between love and hate.” A person can very easily go from loving to hating.
Star-crossed lovers are very different from those in a love-hate relationship. These types of lovers want to be together, but everything seems to keep them apart—even the stars. This expression comes from the belief of some cultures that the stars control our futures.
Probably the most famous star-crossed lovers are William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Star-crossed lovers never seem to get together. So they are rarely on the rebound. A re-bound relationship is the first relationship someone has after he or she has ended a serious, long-term relationship.
People on the rebound are easily hurt. So they often make bad decisions in choosing a new love interest. Instead of getting involved with someone else right away, someone on the re-bound probably needs some time alone, as well as distance from their former husband or wife—long distance.
32. What kind of expressions does the text mainly talk about?
A. Ones expressing true love. B. Ones with problems of love.
C. Ones describing Valentine’s Day. D. Ones containing the word “love”.
33. What do you know about a couple with a love-hate relationship?
A. They both love cats and dogs. B. They always fight each other.
C. They get along well and badly. D. They live happily like lovebirds.
34. How can we describe star-crossed lovers?
A. They are quite unfortunate. B. They have the deepest love.
C. They will get married in the end. D. They go from loving to hating easily.
35. Which can best explain the underlined phrase “on the rebound”?
A. Easy-hurting. B. Living alone.
C. Feeling lonely. D. Failing in love again.

Four Lessons I Learned From Traveling

Independence
