"Passion" v.s. "Enthusiasm"

Passion and enthusiasm, in Chinese, both means "熱情".
However, how can we distinguish them in detail?
Normally, passion means longevity of feeling. When you are passionate about something, that passion of yours may indeed last your whole life.
On the other hand, enthusiasm expresses a more temporary feeling.
For example, you can be enthusiastic about a recently popular film. However, you cannot be enthusiastic about a life-long interest of yours. Learning new languages, for instance, can only be emotionally supported. It is when you feel sth in your entire heart and deep into your soul.
To sum up, "passion" is more enduring while "enthusiasm" is more momentarily felt.
