爱情故事

今年五月份到纽约参加了一对年轻人的婚礼。他们是大学同学。婚礼的邀请上,写着他们的爱情故事,平平淡淡,朴质无华(他们都是学理工的)。转抄如下。

In freshman year of college, they lived in the same dorm building, and walked by each other many times without ever saying hello.


The summer after sophomore year, they lived on the same floor, and got to know each other a little better.


Junior year, they were not particularly good friends, but they hung out with the same group of friends.

Senior year, as they were preparing for life after college, they started to realize that they shared similar values, intellectual and creative interests, and spontaneous attitudes.


They liked to play ping-pong as breaks from work. During a close game, Ronnie asked Ling if various non sequiturs would throw Ling off her game. One hypothetical situation would be ask her out. She answered the question by winning the game.


A few weeks later, in January of 2007, when they were walking back to their dorms after a shared machine learning class, Ronnie formally asked out Ling. They had their first date that night.


Four years later, they were engaged.

试着翻译如下:


-- 我们的故事 --


大学一年级,他们同住一栋宿舍,常常擦肩而过,连招呼都没打。


大学二年级的暑期,他们住在同一层楼,彼此有了多一点的了解。


大学三年级,他们不是特别要好的朋友,但他们都同属一群在一起玩耍的朋友。


大学四年级,大家都计划校园以后的生活。他们开始意识到他们两人有着类似的价值观,类似的智慧追求,以及类似的自发和随意的习惯。


他们喜欢在课余打乒乓球。在一个非常接近的比赛中,Ronnie问Ling,如果他问她一个不合逻辑的问题,比如他请她约会,她是否会因此而输球。Ling赢了比赛,也间接回答了问题。


几个星期之后,2007年的1月,他们在一堂共同选修的机器学习的课后,一起走回宿舍。路上Ronnie正式邀请Ling晚上出去。那晚是他们的第一次约会。


四年之后,他们订婚了。
