Puppy love的意思

"Puppy love" is an English idiom that refers to the innocent, infatuated type of love or affection that young people, especially teenagers, experience at the beginning of their romantic lives. It is often characterized by a naive, intense, and short-lived passion that is seen as similar to the affection that a puppy might have for its owner—unconditional, enthusiastic, and without the complexities of mature love.

The term is used to describe a situation where someone is in the early stages of a relationship and is experiencing the thrill of new love, often without a deep understanding of what a long-term, mature relationship involves. It can also imply that the feelings are not very serious or are likely to fade over time as the individuals mature and gain more experience with relationships.

"Puppy love" is not always derogatory; it can be used affectionately to describe the sweet and innocent nature of young love. However, it can also carry a connotation that the feelings are not as profound or lasting as those in more mature relationships.
