那么你俩什么时候结婚呢？
短语的起源：
The word knot has been associated with marriage since very old times, with the first known occurrence in 1225. It is not clear whether the knot refers an actual knot being tied in marriage ceremonies or it is just a symbolic reference to two people being united. This exact expression was first recorded in 1717 by an English poet, Matthew Prior in his poem “Alma; or, The Progress of the Mind.” Source: theidioms.com
At the time, the duo was busy with their careers — including new movies in the works for both — which is why they hadn't settled on a wedding date.
duo

fish & settle on
上文的fish作动词，熟词僻义，表示“搜寻，查找”（to try to find something, using your fingers to look for it），为这段中出现的they hadn't settled on a wedding date作了铺垫，始终没有确定结婚日子，settle on表示“选定”，英文解释为“If you settle on a particular thing, you choose it after considering other possible choices.”举个🌰：
He finally settled on a Tesla. It's the ideal car for him.
他最后选中了一辆特斯拉，他最理想的轿车。
“So, yeah, [it's] because of work,” Hawaii-born Q said in March 2015, “and … because you gotta balance everything.” Last year, McDermott opened up to PEOPLE about his relationship with Q.
“The cool thing is if you trust life and open yourself up to good things, good things can happen,” he said. “[Maggie] took my breath away.”
take sb's breath away
表示“美得令…透不过气来；令…惊叹”，英文解释为“to be extremely beautiful or surprising”举个🌰：
The beauty of the Taj Mahal took my breath away.
泰姬陵美得让我惊叹。
