你相信柏拉图式的纯洁友情吗

前不久热播的台湾偶像剧《我可能不会爱你》讨论的正是这一话题，男女主角以朋友的身份相识十五载，而爱情一直伴随友情悄然成长。 Yes, that’s a tacky question. But like “love at first sight”, screenwriters, filmmakers and TV producers still have a lot to say about platonic friendship. 诚然，这是个有些俗套的问题。但就如同“一见钟情”式的爱情一样，这种柏拉图式的纯洁友谊仍被编剧，电影、电视制片人们所津津乐道。 The latest work of this type is the Taiwanese romantic drama In Time With You, which tells the story of Cheng Youqing (Ariel Lin) and Li Daren (Bolin Chen), who end up together after being each other’s best friend for 14 years. 这一类型的最新代表作当数台湾偶像剧《我可能不会爱你》。剧中讲述了程又青（林依晨饰）和李大仁（陈柏霖饰）再做了14年好友后，最终携手走到一起的故事。 They have very different personalities and sometimes you just don’t see the attraction. Cheng’s a tough, stubborn young woman; Li is a warm-hearted, soft kind of guy who often gives in to Cheng’s bad temper and takes care of her. All his kindness to her is in terms of friendship of course, because Li has once said that he would never fall in love with a girlfriend like Cheng. The pair also swear that they would never be romantically attracted to each other. 当然，李大仁对程又青的百般呵护完全出自于友情，因为大仁曾说过他绝不会爱上程又青这样的女生。他们还一同发誓永远不会喜欢上对方。 During their search for potential lovers, Cheng often says the girlfriends Li finds don’t suit him. Meanwhile, Li is not happy with the guy Cheng is going out with. As time goes by, Li can’t deny his feelings for Cheng. Yet he’s unwilling to accept the truth because he doesn’t want to ruin their friendship. 在他们寻找可能牵手的恋人对象时，程又青常常认为李大仁交的女友配不上他。同时，李大仁也对程又青的交往对象感到不满意。随着时间推移，李大仁无法否认对程又青的感情，但他不愿接受这个事实，因为他不想破坏他们的友谊。 It’s a hard decision either way–lying to ourselves is as painful as the risk of losing one of the most important people in our lives. But Li takes the risk anyway–fortunately, Cheng is there for him, like always.
