but by the time all the goodbyes and air kisses were over it was really late.
但是等到所有告别和飞吻都结束的时候确实很晚了。
Air kisses?
空气吻？
You were kissing the air?
你亲吻了空气？
You know, those kisses people give each other where their lips never actually touch each other's?
你知道吧？就是人们给彼此的吻，但是事实上他们从不会触碰到对方的嘴唇。
They just make the noise.

Ah yes I know.
啊是的我知道。
When you meet up with people you know at a social event and to greet and say goodbye you pretend to kiss.
