如何发短信哄女朋友开心？

 　　It’s 2015, and texting is an integral part of our lives – whether it’s pertaining¹ to our regular ol’ friends or a girlfriend (or boyfriend alike).

　　现在是2015年，短信是我们生活中不可或缺的一部分——无论是发给工作上的朋友还是发给男/女朋友。

　　Whether we fail to accept it or not, the things we say through text messages – in many cases – are equally as important as those said face-to-face.

　　不管你是不是不愿意接受，但在很多情况下，我们通过短信传达的信息和面对面说的一样重要。

　　For this reason, you need to be deliberate with the things you text her. After all, I’m sure you could relate to receiving a certain text that managed to brighten up your day after opening it up.

　　因此，你发短信时要深思熟虑。毕竟我敢保证，收到一条甜蜜的短信可以点亮你的一整天。

　　By putting more effort into the finer points of your relationship, like random² texts throughout the day, you can show her you’re truly committed (or interested, if you’re not quite in the relationship stage yet).

　　为促进恋爱关系多做一点努力，你会让她感受到你的诚意，比如说在一天中随性发一条短信。（如果你们之间还没确定恋爱关系，这至少表明你对她感兴趣）。

　　F*ck all that “sending signals” or “waiting for a sign” talk. If you like her – tell her. By trying to be too cryptic³ and mysterious, you might end up losing her in the process. Save that for the romantic comedies.

　　不要再纠结她是否有“给过你暗示”，也不要“等待她的暗示”了。如果你喜欢她就告诉她。如果你态度模棱两可或者表现得过于神秘，那么很有可能失去她。省省吧，纠结来纠结去那些都是浪漫爱情喜剧里的桥段。

　　Here are the eight situational texts you should certainly be mindful of and how to go about them properly.

　　以下是8种场景下发送的短信，你应该注意如何恰当地发送这些短信。

　　如何发短信哄女朋友开心？

　　1. The “good morning” text

　　“早安”短信

　　You’re going to want to get a bit creative, here. Dive into your bag of tricks, as it’s the first thing she’s going to be waking up to in the morning. Make sure to stay away from generic⁴ sh*t like “good morning.”

　　这样的短信你可能想要有点创意。尝试一些小窍门吧，因为这条短信是她早上一睁开眼睛第一个要看到的东西。你一定要避免“早上好”这样俗套的东西。

　　Do you know how many dudes have probably texted her “good morning”? Exactly. You’re going to want to separate yourself from the pack, so to speak – and how are we going to do that? Bam, we’re gonna throw in a pet name.

　　你知道有多少哥们儿可能给她发过“早上好”吗？一定有很多。这么说吧，你想要和他们有点区别吧——那我们要怎么做呢？噢，我们要在短信里加上一个爱称。

　　Personally, I’ve always been a fan of “good morning sunshine,” as it paints some pretty mental imagery. It’s warm, not overly provocative⁵, and it’s also directly quoted from a Quasimoto song… so, yeah.

　　就我个人而言，我一直很喜欢这样的短信“早安，我的阳光”，因为它描绘了很美的心理意象，是那种温暖的、却不太过分的感觉，这也是Quasimoto的一首歌里的歌词…所以，这个很好。

　　2. The “I had a good time” text

　　短信：“和你在一起很开心”

　　If you genuinely had a good time with a girl – whether it was on a date or after just meeting her for the first time somewhere – it’s super crucial to be vocal⁶ about it. Don’t be shy, big guy. We’re going to have to use our words.

　　如果你真的和一个女孩在一起觉得很开心——无论是约会之后还是第一次在某个地方见到她之后——清楚地表达这种感觉都是超级重要的。伙计，别羞于表达。我们要好好利用文字。

　　Remember, if you don’t say anything, how will she know? Having said that, we all don’t have to be wordsmiths like Hank Moody⁷ in order to express ourselves.

　　记住，如果你什么都不说，她怎么会知道呢？上面已经说过了，我们并不必像汉克?穆迪那样舞文弄墨地去表达想法。

　　Keep it short and sweet and straight to the point. If you had fun with her, just say, “Hey, I really had fun with you last night.”

　　简短、甜蜜、直接地去表达。如果你和她在一起很开心，就说“嘿，我昨晚和你在一起真的很开心”。

　　It shouldn’t really matter how specifically you choose to articulate it – as long as you’re clear-cut about your feelings. The ability to vocalize your emotions will show confidence, and girls will eat that sh*t up.

　　你的表达有多么特别真的没太大关系——只要你把你的感觉描述清楚了。能够说出你的情感就显示出你很自信，而且女孩也吃这一套。

　　3. The “I’m just thinking about you” text

　　短信：“我正在想你”

　　You’ll have to be wary⁸ of how liberal you are with this type of text. If you overuse it, you’ll risk making yourself sound a little bit creepy.

　　你要提防这类短信措辞的自由程度，如果使用过度，你的短信有可能会让人心生畏惧。

　　I mean, think about it; If her feelings aren’t 100 percent matched, it might make her a little bit uncomfortable knowing you’re “thinking about her” with any great frequency.

　　我的意思是，要考虑考虑；如果她对你不是100%有感觉，那她知道你在很频繁地“想她”就会使她感觉有点不舒服。

　　Then again, if she’s into you – the same way you’re into her – this type of text will pay off in spades. It’ll tell show her she’s truly making an impact on you day-to-day, and you’re sensitive enough to recognize and appreciate it.

　　然而，如果她像你喜欢她一样也喜欢你——这种短信肯定会很有效果，能使她知道她对你的影响与日俱增，你也敏感地意识到了这种影响、并且对此感到很喜欢。

　　4. The “this is what makes you special to me” text

　　短信：“对我来说，这就是你的特别之处。”

　　If there’s one thing women will always love – aside from diamonds – it’s a compliment. Along these lines, if there are certain aspects about your girl you’re specifically into, don’t be afraid to let her know.

　　除了钻石、如果有一种东西是女人永远喜欢的，那就是恭维。按照这个思路，如果你的女朋友哪方面特别吸引你的话，不要害怕让她知道。

　　If anything, you should be more afraid of what you don’t say. A lot of times, men will try and play it cool, and women will mistake that for apathy⁹.

　　正相反，你更应该害怕的是有什么东西你没说。很多时候，男人会试着耍酷，可女人会误以为你对她冷漠。

　　A random text letting her know you think she’s pretty or like the way she dresses can go a long way in letting her know you’re interested.

　　随便发条短信让她知道你觉得她很漂亮，或者你喜欢她那样穿衣服，这可以让她知道你对她感兴趣。

　　5. The “I miss you” text

　　短信：“我想你”

　　If you do miss your significant other, it can’t hurt to let her know. Your girl will always love hearing you’re yearning¹⁰ for her, wherever you might be, and it will always make her feel special. You want your girl to feel special, don’t you?

　　如果你真的想念对你的另一半，那就告诉她。无论你在哪儿，你的女朋友永远都喜欢听你说你想她，这也总能使她感觉很特别。你想让你的女朋友感觉很特别，不是吗？

　　6. The “I love you” text

　　短信：“我爱你”

　　Once you and your girl are on firm “I love you” terms, be generous with your application of the phrase.

　　一旦你和女朋友到了稳定说“爱你”的阶段，一定不要吝啬说出这句话。

　　I can’t really think of a time of the day when a lady wouldn’t enjoy being told she’s loved, especially by someone who she’s expected to love, in return.

　　我真想象不到有哪个女人会不喜欢别人说爱她，尤其是从她喜欢的人嘴里说出来。

　　7. The “how was your day” text

　　短信：“你今天过得怎么样？”

　　Usually, this text is tossed around in casual conversation with people you don’t really care about.

　　通常，这类短信被用在和你不太在乎的人随意聊天中。

　　When you send this text to a girl you like – and your intentions are genuinely to find out how her day went – suddenly this text takes new shape.

　　而当你给喜欢的女孩发这条短信时——你是真的想知道她这一天过得怎么样——突然，这条短信有了新的意义。

　　When you ask how her day went, it’s one of the realest methods of showing a girl you actually care. After all, if you didn’t, I’m sure you wouldn’t care to know how her day went.

　　当你问她一天过得怎么样的时候，这是表达你真在乎她的最真诚的方法之一。毕竟，如果不在乎的话，你不愿意知道她一天过得如何。

　　8. The “I’m sorry” text

　　短信：“对不起。”

　　When you’re invested in a relationship with someone, disputes are bound to arise. Hey, we’re humans, and humans are entitled to their own opinions – it’s just the nature of the business.

　　当你投入一段感情的时候，你们之间一定会有争执。嘿，我们是人，人就会有自己的想法——这就是争吵的本质。

　　Once conflict arises, however, it’s important to extinguish it properly, so to speak.

　　然而可以这么说，一旦矛盾产生了，以合适的方式清除掉矛盾很重要。

　　If you have feelings for a woman, it’s best to try and take control over these conflicts yourself, as to not leave anything to chance.

　　如果你对一个女人有感觉，你最好试着控制这些矛盾，不要为任何冲突创造机会。

　　If you’re feeling uncomfortable about an argument the two of you might’ve had earlier, just take the initiative and apologize – even if there’s been some awkward silence for the past few hours.

　　如果你对之前你们之间的争论感觉不舒服，那你就主动一点，道个歉——即使在过去的几个小时内可能是令人尴尬的沉默。

　　This will show her you’re mature enough to swallow your pride for the good of your relationship, and she’ll always appreciate that.

　　这将向她表明你足够成熟，能为了你们之间的爱情放下你的骄傲。她会永远欣赏你这一点的。
