深爱不过深碍久伴不过酒伴
[shēn ài bù guò shēn ài jiŭ bàn bù guò jiŭ bàn]
Deep love does not necessarily surpass a profound hindrance; lasting companionship may merely amount to drinking partners. It expresses a cynical view that no matter how deeply one loves, it might not overcome significant obstacles, and even lasting companionships might be as meaningful as casual drinking buddies.
