Romance: a feeling of excitement and mystery associated with love. Doesn’t that sound wonderful? Sadly, most of us have a tendency to get too comfortable and complacent in our relationships, turning what used to be fresh and exciting into a VCR rewind that becomes boring and monotonous.
浪漫:一種因愛(ài)情油然而生的興奮和神秘感受。聽(tīng)上去很美妙吧!可悲的是,多數(shù)人慢慢就習(xí)慣了這種舒適的關(guān)系而變得自滿(mǎn),即使回放曾經(jīng)新鮮而興奮的VCR都感覺(jué)變得單調(diào)乏味。
A person can only do the same thing so many times before they get bored, so going on the same dates over and over again probably isn’t the best way to keep your love life exciting or mysterious. The good news? Anyone can be romantic. Apply these 30 tips if you’d like to make your partner say.
"WOW!"在戀人之間感覺(jué)乏味之前,一方重復(fù)著一件事:一次次地約會(huì),但約會(huì)可能并不是保持愛(ài)情生活充滿(mǎn)興奮或神秘的最佳方式。讓一個(gè)人變得越來(lái)越浪漫有妙招嗎?用上這30個(gè)妙招你的伴侶會(huì)向你發(fā)出“哇哦”的贊嘆聲!
1. Is your partner sick at work?
愛(ài)人帶病上班?
Surprise them at work with hot cocoa or tea. If they’ve got a terrible case of the flu, you could even bring them a thermos containing Theraflu! One of my past girlfriends did this for me and I thought it was one of the sweetest things she ever did for me. Don’t underestimate the power of small, thoughtful surprises!
來(lái)個(gè)驚喜!在上班時(shí)間送去一杯熱咖啡或熱茶。如果對(duì)方得了重感冒,還要帶上用熱水瓶沖好的感冒沖劑!我以前的一個(gè)女朋友在我感冒的時(shí)候就是這樣照顧我的,這是她對(duì)我做過(guò)的最甜蜜的一個(gè)舉動(dòng)。不要低估小小驚喜帶給你的體貼之情!
2. Make a mix tape/CD.
自制一段錄音帶/一盤(pán)CD。
It’s old-school, but it still works (and your partner will think about you every time they listen to it!).
盡管做法老套,但是很管用(對(duì)方會(huì)在每次想到你的時(shí)候都聽(tīng)一下!)。
3. Start every day with a hug and kiss.
每天都以擁抱和親吻開(kāi)始一天的生活。
This will release feel-good hormones in your body that will make you and your love feel super happy!
擁抱和親吻都能讓你的體內(nèi)釋放產(chǎn)生一種讓你感覺(jué)很棒的荷爾蒙,讓你和對(duì)方都感受到那種超幸福的感覺(jué)體驗(yàn)!
4. Write a love note.
寫(xiě)下甜言蜜語(yǔ)。
Yes, you could send a text saying, "I love you," but that’s too obvious. Given that most of us communicate electronically all day every day, taking the time to actually write a letter by hand will show your partner how thoughtful and romantic you are.
你可以發(fā)條短信說(shuō)“我愛(ài)你!”,但太明顯了不夠自然。我們每天都和電子設(shè)備打交道,找時(shí)間親手寫(xiě)封信,對(duì)方會(huì)感受到你很用心很體貼很浪漫。
5. Write a love poem.
寫(xiě)一首情詩(shī)。
If a note is just too easy, step up your game by upgrading to a love poem! It doesn’t have to be a Shakespearean sonnet: it’s the thought that counts! If you’re a comedian, you could even make it comedic, because few things are more sexy than funny people.
如果寫(xiě)在紙上的情話(huà)太小菜一碟的話(huà),直接升級(jí)為寫(xiě)情詩(shī)!無(wú)需非得寫(xiě)成莎士比亞的十四行詩(shī)才夠浪漫!只要是你是用心寫(xiě)給對(duì)方的情詩(shī),對(duì)方就會(huì)感覺(jué)到無(wú)比性感浪漫。
6. Go on a picnic.
去野餐。
Prepare a lunch or grab some take-out and enjoy a scenic lunch together. Bonus points if you plan it at a time the park will be quiet so you can enjoy some much-needed peace and silence together.
帶上備好的午餐或外賣(mài)食品,一起到野外邊欣賞美景邊享用午餐。如果你計(jì)劃在公園野餐,你們可以享受兩個(gè)人在一起的平和和安靜。
7. Never stop complimenting your partner.
時(shí)不時(shí)地夸贊對(duì)方。
Never stop complimenting your partner on your favorite things about their body, and if they’re looking super suave and sexy, make sure you tell them all about it.
對(duì)方身上總有你最喜歡的地方,才會(huì)讓你覺(jué)得對(duì)方超級(jí)迷人性感,一定要時(shí)時(shí)夸贊,一定要讓對(duì)方知道你喜歡對(duì)方的地方。
8. Shoulder rub? Yes, please!
肩部按摩?對(duì)的,去吧!
Who doesn’t love a good shoulder rub? Give your partner a nice massage if they look tense after work. If you’re lucky, they might return the favor. If you’re really lucky, it could lead to more fun activities!
誰(shuí)不愛(ài)對(duì)方給自己好好來(lái)次肩部按摩呢?如果愛(ài)人下班后累了,就為愛(ài)人做做按摩。如果你夠幸運(yùn),對(duì)方也會(huì)在你感覺(jué)累了的時(shí)候,給你做按摩。如果你真的很幸運(yùn),對(duì)方會(huì)做更有意思的放松活動(dòng)來(lái)幫你解乏。
9. Say, "I love you".
“我愛(ài)你”三個(gè)字常掛嘴邊。
It goes without saying, but in the hustle and bustle of the stressful life a lot of us lead, it’s awfully easy to forget the power of those three simple words.
愛(ài)意不言而喻,但在當(dāng)今繁忙緊張的生活中,多數(shù)人都做不到這點(diǎn),容易忘記這三個(gè)字所給對(duì)方帶來(lái)的力量。
10. Do you remember that one time…?
記得那次....。。的時(shí)候嗎?
As the months and years go on, it can become easy to forget why we fell so hard for a person in the first place. Talk about that lovely day you met each other, laugh about that terribly embarrassing thing you said on your first date, and remind each other of your relationship’s Greatest Hits!
歲月流逝,我們可能很容易就忘記當(dāng)初是怎樣被對(duì)方迷上的情景?;貞浺幌履銈兿嘁?jiàn)那一天的情景,聊一聊第一次約會(huì)的囧事來(lái)逗對(duì)方開(kāi)心,回憶一下熱戀階段的開(kāi)心情景。
11. Surprise your honey with coffee or breakfast in bed.
把咖啡或早餐端到床上,給愛(ài)人來(lái)個(gè)驚喜。
This goes for you too, guys. Bring your partner a cup of coffee to help them start the morning energized with a quick caffeine hit (they will thank you for it!). If you’d really like to make them feel special, surprise them with a tray of their favorite breakfast foods. Two scrambled eggs, chopped berries, and a bit of yogurt would definitely do the trick.
這一招對(duì)男生也很管用。早上給愛(ài)人端上一杯熱咖啡開(kāi)始這一天的生活(對(duì)方會(huì)對(duì)你深表感激之情的!)。要想讓對(duì)方感受特別一些的話(huà),就把對(duì)方最?lèi)?ài)吃的早餐端到床上:兩個(gè)煎蛋、草莓切塊、一杯酸奶,就很有效果哦。
12. Invest in a babysitter!
請(qǐng)保姆照看孩子!
If you’ve got kids, I know life can get busy, but it’s in your best interest to find a way to have some alone time with the special person in your life. Can’t afford to hire a sitter? Ask a parent or trusted friend to watch your Mini-Me in exchange for a thoughtful favor tailored to their needs.
有孩子的家庭生活讓人手忙腳亂的,但是生活中最有意思的還是單獨(dú)找時(shí)間和愛(ài)人享受一下甜蜜逍遙的二人時(shí)光。雇不起保姆?也好辦,讓父母或信得過(guò)的好朋友照看一下孩子,回頭多給父母和朋友幫忙。
13. Snuggle.
來(lái)個(gè)熊抱!
Just do it, trust me.
給對(duì)方來(lái)個(gè)熊抱!相信我,也很管用的。
14. Be mindful of your partner’s interests.
留心對(duì)方的興趣愛(ài)好。
Fellas: I know you might not be that into romantic movies, but if your partner really wants to go see one, it will mean the world to her. It’s just two hours and you will survive, I promise! Ladies: Your man and his love of wrestling, Nascar, or whatever the case may be? Same goes for you!
男士們:我知道你可能不會(huì)去看浪漫的愛(ài)情電影,但是如果對(duì)方真的想去看的話(huà),這就代表她會(huì)陶醉在那個(gè)世界中。就兩個(gè)小時(shí)而已,沒(méi)什么大不了的,而且還能換來(lái)對(duì)方的開(kāi)心。 女士們:他最?lèi)?ài)看賽車(chē)等之類(lèi)的節(jié)目的話(huà),那么,同樣你也陪他看一下!
