11月9日，四川西南航空职业学院99对年轻情侣在一座新建成的花园里表白爱情。该校花费了近300万人民币的资金来建造这座"情侣花园"。

So a club called "Modern Ladies and Gentlemen" put out a formal call for students to attend the event.

因此，一个名为"现代女士先生"的俱乐部正式呼吁学生们来出席这个活动。

The garden features a giant clock, which is paused at 5:20 (the pronunciation of "5:20" sounds similar to "I love you" in Chinese), a "gate of true love," a "path of affection" and trees that grow green apples and red persimmons.

花园里摆放着一个巨大的时钟，指针被拨到了5点20分（5:20谐音"我爱你"），还有一个"真爱门"、一条"感情路"，以及一些结满了青苹果和红柿子的果树。

此次在这座"情侣花园"里举行的活动是该校关系管理课程的一部分。

In addition to the couples garden, the school also has required courses like "Love and Sex," as well as an online forum to guide students in their relationships, both romantic and otherwise.

除了"情侣花园"之外，该校要要求开设了类似于"爱和性"等课程，以及一个在线论坛来对学生的关系--无论是爱情关系还是其他关系--进行指导。

Peng Xiaohui, a professor at Central China Normal University, said that it's good for schools to organize such events, as it means that relationship between students will be supported rather than suppressed.

华中师范大学教授彭晓辉表示，学校组织这样的活动很好，因为这意味着学生之间的关系会得到支持而不是抑制。
