tina: today kitty, were talking about romance and the expression whirlwind romance.

kitty: whirlwind romance 会是什么意思呢？哎， tina, whirlwind 不是旋风的意思吗？

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.

kitty: 如果一对夫妇在认识不多久就结婚了，那么你就可以使用这个短语 a whirlwind romance 闪电式结婚。
