很多时候你只是某个人的练爱对象而非恋爱对象。


Could anyone translate that into English for me? Thanks!

"Many times you just love the object of an individual practice rather than love [the] object."

http://translate.google.com/

I know about the quality of some google translations, so I just wanted to make sure. Thanks though.

Follow up on that:

这个是重点 “练爱对象而非恋爱对象”


Google came up with: This is the key "practice love object rather than the love object"
which does not make a whole lotta sense

this is wrong. google translation does not give the correct translation. The actual meaning of it is:

There will be times in your life that you are just used by an opposite sex to experience being in a relationship, instead of real love

or simply said, u are just a toy to them (relationship wise)

sorrt my english isnt that great

Oh! Thank you very much!!

What about this part: 这个是重点 “练爱对象而非恋爱对象”
I'm assuming the google translation is wrong again in this case, isn't it?

google translator cannot apply the grammar correctly

Which is exactly why I made this topic.

练爱=to practice love, which in this case suggests that you are simply being used:
而非= in this case means rather than
恋爱对象=(genuine) romantic interest

这个是重点=this is the important part, hinting at that this phrase is what the "pun" of the whole sentence, that its what he is truly trying to convey.

Proper translation would be: A lot of the time you are but simply a test subject rather than a romantic interest (to *pronoun*).

wish i could
