Seven years would be insufficient to make some people acquainted with each other, and seven days are more than enough for others.
有的人相识七年也仍然无法相知,而有的人只要相处七天,就足以深深相爱。
——简·奥斯汀(Jane Austen),
《理智与情感》(Sense and Sensibility)
【语句解析】
·insufficient: insufficient意思是不够的。sufficient,足够的,比如说:The food is sufficien,意思是饭足够了。
·acquainted with: acquainted,就是“熟悉、相知、认识”的意思。acquainted with somebody就是和某人相熟,而且是相对不错的那种状态,不仅仅是familiar,要比familiar程度深。
·more than enough:意思是足够了。比如说,“two dollars are more than enough”,意思是两块钱就已经足够了,用不了两块钱。“seven days are more than enough for others”就是有些人根本就不需要七天就能够互相熟悉,甚至是陷入爱情中。
