An amour is a love affair, especially a secret or slightly scandalous one — not the ordinary English word for “love.” English took French amour and narrowed it. In French, amour can be quite normal love; in English it raises an eyebrow. “His amour in Paris” means a person or a liaison, not a warm feeling in general.

An amour is a love affair, especially a secret or slightly scandalous oneamour是戀情，尤其是偷偷摸摸或有點醜聞味道的那種——not the ordinary English word for "love."不是英文裡普通講「愛」的字。English took French amour and narrowed it英文把法文的amour借過來，然後把意思縮小了。In French, amour can be quite normal love在法文裡，amour可以就是很普通的愛；in English it raises an eyebrow但在英文裡它會讓人挑眉。"His amour in Paris"「His amour in Paris他在巴黎的amour」means a person or a liaison指的是一個人或一段戀情，not a warm feeling in general不是泛指一種溫暖的感覺。

It sounds old-fashioned, novelistic, a little fancy. You would not text “I have an amour.” People now say affair, fling, or they just tell the story.

It sounds old-fashioned, novelistic, a little fancy聽起來老派、有小說感、有點花俏。You would not text "I have an amour."你不會傳訊息說「I have an amour我有段amour」。People now say affair, fling現在的人會說affair或fling，or they just tell the story或者就直接把事情講出來。

The pronunciation follows French more than old English would have: stress on the second part, roughly a-MOOR (the expected older English sound would have been more like “AM-er”). Though actually, you will still meet relatives such as enamoured, which kept a more English rhythm.

The pronunciation follows French more than old English would have發音比較跟著法文走，不是老英文那套：stress on the second part重音在第二部分，roughly a-MOOR大概唸成a-MOOR（the expected older English sound would have been more like "AM-er"照老英文的規則本來預期會比較像「AM-er」）。Though actually不過，you will still meet relatives such as enamoured你還是會遇到像enamoured這樣的親戚字，which kept a more English rhythm它保留了比較英式的節奏。
