过期 expire

今天,看了前二十分钟的《重庆森林》,听到了金城武的一句对白,让我反复思量。
Today, I watched the beginning section of an old movie called 'ChungKing Express'. In the movie, there was a monolog by Takeshi Kaneshiro planted in my mind.

不知道什么时候,人为任何事物都给予了一个‘有效期’或‘此日期前最佳’的标签。罐头、避孕套、药物......任何用品、就连保鲜膜都有一个限期。
We almost forget, when we started to label everything with 'effective before', 'best before' or 'expiry date'. Canned food, condom, medicine......everything, even kitchen foil.

似乎,连情感这一回事,也因此而不能永垂不朽了。是么?
Does it mean even love, or any relationship is never eternal?

这是喜新厌旧么?
Is it because of we like new things instead of the old one?

我想是吧!
I think so!

Sorry, I know how poor my english is.
