Puppy love什么意思

"Puppy love" is an English idiom that refers to the infatuation or affection that young people, especially teenagers, experience in the early stages of a romantic relationship. It is often characterized by a feeling of intense love and adoration that is similar to the way a puppy might show affection to its owner.

The term is used to describe a relationship that is not considered serious or deep, and is often seen as a phase that young people go through as they learn about relationships and romance. It is also used to refer to a relationship that is not expected to last, as the feelings of infatuation and love are seen as being shallow and fleeting.

The phrase "puppy love" has been in use since the early 19th century, and it is thought to have originated from the way that puppies exhibit unconditional love and affection towards their owners, without any of the complexities or deeper emotions that are associated with adult love.
