（which the authors equate with passionate or erotic love）. (作者把浪漫的爱情等同于充满激情或性欲的爱)。 Regan and Berscheid suggest 里根和波谢德认为：

that desire is an essential ingredient for initiating and maintaining romantic love. 性欲是点燃并维持浪漫爱情的必要成分。 If desire disappears, 一旦性爱消失了，

a person is no longer said to be in a state of romantic love. 一个人就不能再说成是还处在浪漫恋情中。 Once desire diminishes, 一旦欲望消失了，

disappointed lovers may wonder where the “spark” in their relationship has gone 失望的恋人就会诧异原来他们关系中的“火花”去哪儿了，

and may reminisce[ v. 追忆往事 ]regretfully（and longingly） about “the good old days”. 他们可能会很遗憾地(而且渴望地)怀念“过去的美好时光”。

? Paragraph 12

One should not conclude, however, that desire always culminates in [ 达到…高峰，最终达到 ] physical intimacy

然而，我们不应就此得出性欲总是以身体的亲密接触告终， or that desire is the same as romantic love. 或性与浪漫爱情是同一回事的结论。 Married partners may love each other 结了婚的伴侣们可以深爱对方，

even though they rarely, or never, engage in physical intimacy. 即使很少或从来没有身体的亲密接触。

In addition, there are some notable differences between love — especially long-term love — and romantic love.

此外，爱，尤其是长期的爱，和浪漫的爱是有很大区别的。

Healthy loving relationships, whether physical or not（such as love for family members）,

健康的恋爱关系，不管它们是有性的或是无性的(比如对家人的爱) reflect a balance of caring, intimacy, and commitment. 都反映了关怀、亲密和忠诚的平衡。
