邂逅一段“旅途恋情”

钱钟书先生在《围城》一书中曾指出，认识一个人最好的方式就是和他(她)去旅行。同样， 我们在旅途中也可能遇到一段浪漫的感情，但这种恋情维持起来就不那么容易了。

Locationship refers to a brief romantic encounter usually occuring while traveling or on vacation, occasionally outwardly resembling a conventional relationship, but without any underlying comittment. May be rekindled at future opportunities.
旅途恋情指的是发生在旅程或者度假期间的短暂的浪漫邂逅，表面上或者像是传统恋情，但没有更深的承诺。也许两人的恋情会在日后复燃。

The word locationship is often used with slightly negative overtones, carrying the implication that a relationship is not long-lasting and meaningful, but based purely on convenience and physical proximity.
旅途恋情这一说法使用时略带负面含义，暗指这并非长久恋情，也并无太大意义，而纯粹是基于交往的便利以及两人的接近。

A locationship is something between a casual fling and full-blown romance, liable to fizzle out if a change of circumstances brings about a change in geographical location for either of the two people involved.
旅途恋情介于偶尔的调情和成熟的恋情之间，如果情况有变，两人所处的地理位置因此相隔变远，恋情就很容易告吹。

例句：

Melissa? yeah, she's cool. We had a brief locationship at the company retreat last fall.
梅丽莎？是的，她很棒。去年秋天我们在公司活动期间有过一段短暂的旅途恋情。
