流氓是破壞社會秩序或組織幫派的不法分子 耍流氓則是行徑蠻橫不講理之意 如「這傢伙到處耍流氓,早已惡名昭彰。」 第一句話是傳統思想 : 戀愛的目的就是要結婚 不以結婚為前提就不能戀愛 既然戀愛 而又不結婚 表示雙方純粹是 玩玩兒而已 是不負責任 不講理的行為 第二句話 儘管刪掉不看吧 純粹是為了求對仗的浮飾詞藻 不具任何意義 老天爺下不下雪 豈由得了你 老天爺要降溫 難道要生火對抗 從閱讀者的角度來批判 作者不見得完全明白自己的創作是言之成理的 閱讀者亦無需全然附和作者的思想

I know the first sentence, that mean a man just want to get sex or something else, but don't want to be responsible to her. The sencond part I never heard before, maybe that because Shanghai doesn't always snow.

Establishing a relationship, but not aims at marriage, is a kind of disrespect. 一切不以下雪为目的的降温都是耍流氓: Lowering the temperature without snow, is a disaster.

it means: the love that  not expecting to marry someone is the love sort of "sex-love"(play-sex-love) only.
