Emotions can be messy and hard to decipher when all we hear is our loud heartbeats, or feel giant butterflies in our stomach.

當我們只聽到響亮的心跳聲或感到胃在翻騰時，，很難分清楚什麼是愛情。

The upside is that as we grow older and gain more relationship experience, the answer becomes more clear.

但隨著成長和累積的感情經驗，我們慢慢的就能知道答案。

Here are five differences between crushing on and falling in love with someone.

以下提供你分辨暗戀和愛情的五個不同處。

1. A crush develops fast, while love grows over time.

第一 ，暗戀發展的很快，但愛情會隨著時間漸長。

When you first develop a crush on someone, it can feel fun, flirty and exciting.

開始暗戀某人時 ，你或許會覺得有趣、曖昧或興奮，

It's a lot like dancing with a flame, but it doesn't last forever.

就像火花四濺一般，但這並不持久。

Love, on the other hand, takes time to grow.

但愛情就不一樣了，它需要時間來證明。

It demands patience, understanding and hard work.

愛情需要耐心、互相理解和認真的付出。

When we crush on someone, it's the loud adrenaline rush that pounds on our chest.

當我們暗戀某人時，是腎上腺素猛烈衝擊我們的胸膛。

Love, however, allows us to find inner peace within ourselves.

但是愛情容許我們尋找心中的平靜。

It's a lot quieter, subtle even, and can sneak up on us when we least expect it.

相對於迷戀，愛情相當安靜、平靜，並且出乎意料。

2. A crush forms from the basics, while love thrives from deep connections.

第二，暗戀是最基本的相聯，而愛情是更深層的關係。

Have you ever liked someone because they shared the same interests as you?

你是否曾經喜歡某人只因為你們都有相同的興趣呢？

A crush forms from basic information like that.

暗戀就是像這樣基本的要件。

Maybe the two of you had the same favorite color, or you can quote an entire movie together from beginning to end.

或許你們兩個喜歡同個顏色或是你們都能引用同一部電影，

But that's not necessarily love.

但那不一定是愛情。

Love isn't afraid to dive in the deep.

愛情並不會讓你害怕繼續挖掘。

It asks us to be vulnerable and go past the small talk, hobbies, and picture perfect Kodak moments.

它使我們變得脆弱，我們不再談論天氣或興趣，而是更深層的事物。

It's sharing secrets, and sometimes, it means confronting the past and mending together.

有時是分享秘密或是揭露過去的傷疤再一起成長。

3. A crush might feel insecure while love stems from trust.

第三，暗戀會令人感到沒有安全感，但愛情就是信任。

Crushing on someone can leave you feeling insecure when you compare yourself to others, but love is built on the foundation of trust.

當我們將自己和其他人比較時，暗戀時常讓我們感到不安，但愛情是建立在信任之上的。

When you love someone, you feel at ease with them, you're neither possessive nor jealous.

當你「愛」某人時，你和他們相處輕鬆，你不會想佔有他或嫉妒其他人。

Love teaches us to let go of our fears, whereas crushing on someone allows them to linger.

愛情教我們放棄恐懼，而暗戀卻使恐懼環繞我們。

4. A crush feels new while love feels familiar.

第四，暗戀感覺新穎，愛情卻像舊衣服。

When you crush on someone, it often feels fresh and young.

暗戀的感覺通常是新奇的。

But as you get to know someone better, love forms, making enter rooms that feel familiar.

但當你更認識某人時，愛情漸長，讓你感覺像是回家一樣熟悉。

It's like being with your best friend, someone who knows you inside and out, perhaps better than you may know yourself.

就像和你的好朋友相處一樣，他從裡到外的懂你，甚至比你還要瞭解你自己。

When you're crushing on someone, you're too shy to even make it past the welcome mat.

但暗戀就不一樣了，你甚至會不敢開口對他說話。

5. A crush is reckless while love is mature.

第五，暗戀是魯莽的，但愛情是成熟的。

Ever had a crush on someone that made you scratch your head years later?

你曾不曾回頭看到當年暗戀某人的自己，而令你困惑不已？

Crushes can be confusing, reckless, and inconsistent.

暗戀很撲朔迷離、魯莽、易變。

Love isn't so easily discarded though.

但愛情就不是這麼容易被丟棄的了。

When love begins, so does maturity.

當戀情開始時，你也隨之成長。

You'll learn how to be vulnerable, how to compromise, and how to grow with someone.

你學會變得脆弱、如何妥協，和他人一同成長。

It's more than just a feeling but a life changing experience.

這不僅是一種感覺而已，也是一個改變人生的經歷。
