有了网络以后,似乎人和人之间的空间距离就可以忽略不计了。就算远隔千里,两人仍然能通过网络见到对方,互诉衷肠。于是,异地恋、远程恋爱也开始复活了。
Along-distance relationship(LDR) is typically an intimate relationship that takes place when the partners are separated by a considerable distance.
Long-distance relationship(LDR)指双方相隔距离遥远,但却保有亲密关系的状况,也就是我们所说的“异地恋”或“远程恋爱”。
Before the popularity of internet dating, long-distance relationships were not as common, as the primary forms of communication between the romance lovers usually involved either telephone conversations or corresponding via mail. However, with the advent of the Internet, long-distance relationships have exploded in popularity as they become less challenging to sustain with the use of modern technology. Technologies including cell phones, e-mail, online chatting and video conferencing have made it possible to keep in touch.
