"Back when I lived in London, I went to Greece with a friend for my 32nd birthday. On the night before my birthday, my buddy and I were at a bar when two lovely ladies walked in and sat down next to us. I tried to engage in conversation, but while one smiled, the other blew me off — and then they left. After midnight (my official birthday!), my buddy convinced me to go to one last bar, and those same girls were there. My friend told them it was my birthday, so the rest of the night went much better, especially because I hit it off with the one who’d originally smiled, Christina. We spent the night drinking, laughing, and dancing. Christina told me that she lived in Washington D.C., and I told her about my pre-existing plans to visit D.C. later that year (I actually had tickets to New York but was taking a gamble)."
“那時(shí)我住在倫敦，和朋友去希臘過(guò)32歲生日。我生日的前一天晚上，和朋友去了一家酒吧，有兩個(gè)可愛(ài)的美女走進(jìn)來(lái)坐在我們旁邊，我想和她們聊聊，但其中一個(gè)人只是對(duì)我笑笑，另一個(gè)也不愿意理我，后來(lái)她們就離開(kāi)了。過(guò)了半夜（到我生日了?。笥褎裎易詈笤偃ヒ患揖瓢?，又碰到那兩個(gè)女孩了，朋友跟她們說(shuō)我過(guò)生日，接下來(lái)情況就好多了，尤其還因?yàn)槲腋铋_(kāi)始微笑的那個(gè)女孩克里斯蒂娜還挺合得來(lái)。我們那天晚上一起喝酒、開(kāi)懷大笑、一起跳舞，克里斯蒂娜告訴我她住在華盛頓特區(qū)，我跟她說(shuō)我之前就計(jì)劃年末要去華盛頓特區(qū)（其實(shí)我本來(lái)要去紐約，我只是想賭一把）。

"We spent the next day together, exchanged info at the end, and stayed in touch via Facebook over the next few months. I visited her in D.C., and a couple weeks after that, Christina had a work conference in Zurich, so I flew over from London — and that's when we talked about making a long-distance relationship work. We dated for about a year, with many flights between D.C. and London, and then I proposed in D.C. She said yes! We've since moved to L.A., where Christina got a new job, and we couldn't be happier."
第二天我們又一起玩，最后交換了聯(lián)系方式，接下來(lái)的幾個(gè)月一直在臉書(shū)上聯(lián)系。我去華盛頓看她，幾周后她去蘇黎世開(kāi)會(huì)，我就從倫敦飛過(guò)去，就是那時(shí)我們談到了要建立戀愛(ài)關(guān)系。我們約會(huì)了一年，往返于華盛頓特區(qū)和倫敦，后來(lái)我打算留在華盛頓，她同意了！那以后我們搬到了洛杉磯，克里斯蒂娜找了一份新工作，我們特別開(kāi)心?！?/div>
