"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)."
“那時我住在倫敦，和朋友去希臘過32歲生日。我生日的前一天晚上，和朋友去了一家酒吧，有兩個可愛的美女走進來坐在我們旁邊，我想和她們聊聊，但其中一個人只是對我笑笑，另一個也不愿意理我，后來她們就離開了。過了半夜（到我生日了?。笥褎裎易詈笤偃ヒ患揖瓢?，又碰到那兩個女孩了，朋友跟她們說我過生日，接下來情況就好多了，尤其還因為我跟最開始微笑的那個女孩克里斯蒂娜還挺合得來。我們那天晚上一起喝酒、開懷大笑、一起跳舞，克里斯蒂娜告訴我她住在華盛頓特區(qū)，我跟她說我之前就計劃年末要去華盛頓特區(qū)（其實我本來要去紐約，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，接下來的幾個月一直在臉書上聯(lián)系。我去華盛頓看她，幾周后她去蘇黎世開會，我就從倫敦飛過去，就是那時我們談到了要建立戀愛關(guān)系。我們約會了一年，往返于華盛頓特區(qū)和倫敦，后來我打算留在華盛頓，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，我們特別開心。”
