tina: that's right kitty. a whirlwind is a strong swirling wind that is very quick and often unexpected; so a whirlwind romance is a romance that happens very quickly and quite unexpectedly.
kitty: 这么说, a whirlwind romance 就是那种突然,快速的恋爱,换句话说,就是闪电式的罗曼提克。
tina: so you get some couples who meet and perhaps within a few months they get married; that would be a whirlwind romance.
