"How to prevent falling in love to your best friend?"

“如何阻止自己爱上最好的朋友？”

Uh...

额……

If you're falling in love, why would you want to prevent it?

如果你坠入爱河，为什么要阻止？

I think that's good. I don't think you would want to avoid that.

我认为那很不错。我认为你并不想避免这种事的发生。

What's better than being in love with each other and being best friends? I think that's an ideal¹ situation.

彼此相爱，而且你们还是最好的朋友，还有什么比这更好的？我认为这是理想状况。

You can't prevent falling in love with someone, so if you like them then tell them.

你不能避免爱上某个人，所以，如果你喜欢他们，那就告诉他们。

Listen to your heart. It's like your heart telling you what you want, so listen to it.

听从自己的内心。你的心会告诉你你想要什么，所以听从你的内心。

Just do it... and just see what happens.

想做就做，看看会发生什么。

If it's a girl, you can write a love sentence. If it's a boy, you can write a love song and all of that. (Finebros) They don't want to fall in love with their best friend. Oh! Then you are rude.

如果对方是女孩，你可以写封情书。如果是男孩，你可以写首情歌之类的。（画外提醒）他们不想和最好的朋友坠入爱河。哦！那你们太无礼了。

Isn't that how it happens in the movies and TV shows or whatever? They're friends when they're little and they always end up dating or something? I think it's inevitable², man.

这不是电影和电视剧里经常出现的情节吗？两个人小时候是朋友，最后成为情侣之类的？伙计，我认为这是不可避免的。

You guys talk about being best friends and see how you both feel, and if you both feel that that's where it should stay, then keep it there.

你们可以谈谈作为最好的朋友彼此有什么感觉，如果你们两个人都觉得应该保持这种关系，那就不要再进一步。

Think about the things that you like about your friend and find someone else that has those same qualities so that way, maybe, you can fall in love with someone else so it doesn't get awkward³.

想想你喜欢你朋友的地方，寻找其他具有相同特质的人，这样也许你就会爱上那个人，而不会变尴尬了。

Just try to stay as friends. Don't try to take it to the next level unless you're like Kim Possible and you're unstoppable.

尽量维持朋友关系。不要试图进入下一个阶段，除非你像麻辣女孩一样，而且不可阻挡。
