在一年之末,新年之初,人們反省過去,進而展望未來,期許下一個年度會更加美滿。而這項全球性的活動規模不斷擴展,共襄盛舉的族群也越趨多元,或許今年的元旦活動,你將和你思慕已久的人一同歡慶也說不定!所以趕緊來學學製造浪漫的英語情話吧,或許就終成眷屬了!
1. Love makes the world go round. 有些人認為是錢是萬能的,但是對於一些追求真正的羅曼蒂克的人,愛是生命中最重要的。
2. Your better half. 這是指你的女朋友或男朋友。你也可以稱呼你的伴侶為 'my other half' - 但是稱呼你的女朋友或男朋友為
your better half比our other half更為恰當!
3. The light of my life. The light of your life
是指某人讓你很開心,而且讓你感覺很好!你也可以對你的愛人說, "Darling, you light up my life".
4. She drives me crazy! 這不是指她讓你變得神經質!
如果某人drives you crazy,即是指他們會使你的心跳加速。
例如:"You're crazy about Amy, why don you ask her out?"
5. Falling in love. 愛上某人比談戀愛還要更深一層。談戀愛會令人很愉快的,但是愛上某人就表示,假如沒有對方的話,你就無法活下去!請記住不要太快告訴你的女朋友/男朋友"I'm falling in love with you"。最好是等到你真的發覺了再說。
