没有什么比有情人终成眷属的故事更让人动容了。
英语中也有与“有情人终成眷属”相似的表达，不过并不浪漫。
Every Jack has his Jill.
有情人终成眷属
这句话最初源自法国大革命时期的歌谣，Jack 和Jill 暗指路易十六国王和他的皇后玛丽，两人都在法国大革命中被推上了断头台。歌谣用Jack 和Jill形容两个苦命鸳鸯，后来传来传去，就有了“有情人终成眷属”的意思。
老外有时候也会这么说：All shall be well,Jack shall have Jill.（愿天下有情人终成眷属）
情人也可用“lover”表达，但但在某些情况下，lover不能乱用。
牛津字典中对“lover”的解释：
someone's lover is the person they are having a sexual relationship with butwho they are not married to
一个人的lover是和ta有亲密关系，却没有婚姻关系的人。
lover的中文释义也特别标明了“非婚的”情人。
lover不适用于夫妻之间，更侧重两人间罗曼蒂克的关系。
如果一个人已婚，又在外面有了情人，那ta的lover就带有贬义了。
Taylor Swift写过一首甜甜蜜蜜的歌《Lover》，据说是写给前男友Joe Alwyn，表达小情侣之间的甜蜜。
要想比较朴实地称呼自己的另一半，可以用“my love”。
