文章：爱情是一部电话 来源：秋剑

爱情这部电话，渴望它响起时，它却是悄无声息；不经心留意时,它又总突然响起．因此，很多时候，我们会错过另一端传来的温馨。

爱情这部电话，通常不是“程控直拨"---不是一下便可深入内心，不是一声＂喂＂便可以得到回音。而通常需要人工转换，一等再等。命运是这部电话的话接线员，她总是缺乏责任心又爱搞恶作剧，有意无意间就会作弄你一生．

爱情这部电话，会经常占线。当你正陷痴迷，正准备全身心投入，准备为爱而献身时，却发现早有人拨下了号码，回答你的只是＂忙音＂。这是人类代代相袭的遗憾，你，只是又一个为花叹息的人．

爱情这部电话机，有时也很灵感，一拨就通，一＂喂＂就应．可你却因为太容易而放下话筒，怏怏而去．待到有所悟，那端已然无人．

爱情这部电话，你很难把握有利时机。拨得太早或太迟，爱都会随人而去。

爱情这部电话，并不总是接通幸福。多少甜言蜜语啊，在声波中流淌，一旦近在咫尺，电话便没有了用武之地．因此，很多人会说“婚姻是爱情的坟墓。”

爱情这部电话，第一次使用时，总会紧张激动，不是倒拿了电话，就是拨错了号码。等到不再紧张激动的时候，却又踌躇着不知拨给谁人。

爱情这部电话，经常会串线，而且往往是在没有思想准备的时刻。或者别人串到你线上，或者你串到别人的线上去。这通常被人说成“三角串”，不过，每一次串线都是暂时的。

Love Is A Telephone

Love is a telephone which always keep silent when you are longing for a call, but rings when you are not ready for it. As a result, we always miss the sweetness from the other end.

Love is a telephone which is seldom program-controlled or directly dialed.  You can not get an immediate answer by a mere "hello", let alone go deep into your lover's heart by one call.  Usually it has to be relayed by an operator, and you have to be patient in waiting.  Destiny is the operator of this phone, who is always irresponsible and fond of playing practical jokes to which she may make you a lifelong victim intentionally or unintentionally.

Love is a telephone which is always busy. When you are ready to die for love, you only find, to your disappoinment, the line is already occupied by someone else, and you are greeted only by a busy line.  This is an eternal regret handed down from generation to generation and you are only one of those who languish for follwers.

Love is a telephone, but it is difficult to seize the right time for dialing, and you will let slip the opportunity if your call is either too early or too late.

Love is a telephone which is not always associated with happiness. Sweet words are transitted by sound waves. But when the lovers are brought together, the phone serves no purpose.  No wonder that many lovers observe that marriage is the doom of love.

Love is a telephone which, when you use it for the first time, it makes you so nervous and exicted that you either hold the receiver upside down or dial the wrong number.  By the time you have calmed down, you will hesitate to whom you should make the call.

Love is a telephone which often has crossed lines. And this usually happens to you unexpectedly.  Your line will either cross or be crossed.  Both cases are refereed to as "triangles". Fortunately, all such occurrences are transient.
