1.Love in the air 譜寫(xiě)羅曼史
Spring Festival is a great time to test the bonds of romance, say, with a trip to France. This idea came to Su Enlu and his girlfriend one day. They were talking about the possibility of a weekend trip when Su said, half-jokingly, that they might just go to France.
春節(jié)是考驗(yàn)戀人關(guān)系的最佳時(shí)機(jī),比如說(shuō),去法國(guó)旅行。某天這個(gè)念頭出現(xiàn)在蘇恩路和他女朋友的腦海里。當(dāng)時(shí)他們正在談?wù)撝苣┏鲇问欠窨尚?,蘇恩路半開(kāi)玩笑地表示,他們可以去法國(guó)。
After doing some online research and talking with people who'd been there, they decided to take the plunge. To prepare for it, they read French history and tested each other in basic French language.
他們先在網(wǎng)上做了一些研究,并且同身在那里的人交談,之后他們決定冒險(xiǎn)一試。為了準(zhǔn)備出行,他們參閱法國(guó)歷史書(shū)籍,并用基本的法語(yǔ)對(duì)話來(lái)做訓(xùn)練。
"This has been one of the happiest seasons in our three-year relationship," said Su, a 22-year-old English major at the University of International Business and Economics.
“這是我們?cè)谝黄鹑陙?lái)最開(kāi)心的時(shí)光之一,”就讀于對(duì)外經(jīng)貿(mào)大學(xué)英語(yǔ)專(zhuān)業(yè),現(xiàn)年22歲的蘇恩路表示。
Su saw no problem with asking his parents to fund the trip for about 10,000 yuan from each side. "I'm seizing the day," he said. "Later, when I have that much money, I might not have time to enjoy it."
蘇恩路認(rèn)為,向自己父母各申請(qǐng)約1萬(wàn)元的資金支持是可行的。“我要捉住這次出行機(jī)會(huì),”他表示。“今后有錢(qián)的時(shí)候,我可能沒(méi)有時(shí)間去享受這樣的旅行了。”
The couple haven't been to foreign countries. But in order to secure a visa, they went for travel agency to take care of their application. Moreover, they asked friends who study in France to be their contact person and arrange some cheap accomendations during their stay abroad to save money as much as they can.
盡管他們二人之前沒(méi)有出過(guò)國(guó)。但為了確保拿到簽證,他們找到旅行社來(lái)處理他們的申請(qǐng)。除此之外,他們請(qǐng)求在法國(guó)留學(xué)的朋友做為聯(lián)絡(luò)人;為了盡可能節(jié)省在國(guó)外期間的開(kāi)銷(xiāo),他們還安排了便宜的住處。
