【美丽的邂逅】:
The Strangers Who Met While Stopped At A Red Light.
红绿灯旁的邂逅
"AJ pulled up next to me at a red light and waved at me and I smiled back. The light turned green and we met at the next red light where he motioned 1 me to roll down my window. We had just enough time to introduce ourselves before the light turned green again. He looked back and said "I&`&m going to see you again," and drove 2 away. We didn&`&t get a chance to exchange numbers. A week later I was at a local deli with friends, and little did I know, he worked there. We reintroduced ourselves, and as I was about to leave, I wrote my number on a napkin 3. When I went to hand it to him, he already had his number ready to give to me too. It&`&s been a green light ever since."
在一个红绿灯前,AJ在我旁边停下了车,向我招手,我冲他笑了笑。绿灯后,我们在下一个红灯旁又撞见了,他示意我摇下车窗。这个时候我们才有足够的时间来相互认识。他走时回头看着我说,我们会再见的,于是就开车离去了。当时我们并没有交换电话号码。一周后当我和朋友们在当地的一家熟食店购物的时候,又遇到了他,原来他在那工作。我们又重新相互介绍,当我准备离开时,我把自己的号码写在一张餐巾纸上,当我把餐巾纸递给他的时候,他早已经准备好了自己的电话号码给我。从此以后,我们就一路绿灯。
The Running Shoe Salesman And The Personal Trainer.
跑鞋推销员和私人教练
"A couple of years ago, I needed some new running shoes, so I went to a sports store close to where I live. There was this guy with green eyes who worked there and asked me if I needed help. With butterflies in my stomach, I told him I was a personal trainer and needed new running shoes. We started talking and eventually he sold me a pair and I left the store. A few days later, I started seeing him at the gym where I worked and we ended up working out together (couples who train together stay together.) Today we are married with a beautiful daughter. It&`&s my own Cinderella story, but instead of a glass slipper 4, my prince gave me a pair of Nikes."
一些年之前,我需要一些新跑鞋,所以来到了离我住处比较近的体育用品店。在那我遇到了有着绿色眼睛的他,他问我需要什么。我内心小鹿乱撞,告诉他我是一个私人教练,需要一些跑鞋。于是我们就开始交谈,最终我买了一双鞋离开了那家店。几天之后,我开始在我工作的健身房里看到他,最终我们开始一起健身。(就像情侣一样健身和生活)现在我们已经结婚并且有一个可爱的女儿。这就是我自己的灰姑娘的故事,但我的王子给我的是一双耐克,而不是玻璃鞋。
The Ultimate 5 Frisbee 6 Player And Her Straightforward 7 Suitor.
飞盘情缘
"I was 27 and fed up with the dating scene. I declared to my girlfriends that "if a guy can&`&t just come up to me and ask me out, then he doesn&`&t get to go out with me." Then on a summer evening soon after, I was playing Ultimate frisbee in a recreational league when this confident beautiful man walked up to me and said, "Are you dating anyone?" When i replied no, he said, "well then you should date me." We&`&ve been together for 15 years now and have two kids. Sometimes people just need to ask, because the answer might be yes."
我当时27岁,已经受够了约会这一套。我对身边的朋友们讲,如果一个(喜欢我的)男的不能很直接地告诉我,那么他基本没戏。于是乎在不久之后的一个夏夜,当我在一个休闲联赛中玩极限飞盘的时候,有个自信的家伙走到我面前,对我说,你现在有男朋友吗?当我说没有的时候,他说,那么我们应该来约会试试。现在我们在一起已经15年,并且有2个孩子。有时候你要做的就是开口去问出那句话。
