That very fact--that it's a simple but powerful statement of commitment--is exactly what deters many young people from linking hands.
然而,正是这个简单却强大的承诺让众多年轻人对牵手望而却步。
There is no public display of affection more intimate between two people than handholding, writes New York bachelor Jozen, on his blog. "Holding hands is the ultimate sign that two people are not only together, but happily so. Couples kiss madly, hug madly. But hold hands madly? Oh no, they don't do that."
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。”
