"Passion. It's a force so potent we still remember it long after it's faded away. A drive so alluring， it can push us to the arms of unexpected lovers. A sensation so overwhelming it can knock down walls we built to protect our hearts. A feeling so intense it resurfaces even though we try so hard to keep it buried. Yes, of all emotions, passion is the one that gives us a reason to live and an excuse to commit all sorts of crimes. " 
热情，是一种很强大的力量，虽然它早已逝去，我们依然铭记在心。它是如此的诱惑，能把我们推入想不到的爱人的臂膀。它是如此势不可挡，可以敲开我们的心防。它是如此强烈，即使我们努力掩饰，也会显现。是的，在所有的情绪当中，热情给予我们活下去的理由，和犯下所有罪行的借口。
