　　和妹子说晚安的五种正确姿势

　　5. Say it in Another Language

　　5、用另一种语言说晚安

　　"Good night" sounds so dry and uninspiring when you say it in English. Think how much more sophisticated³ and worldly you'll sound if instead you say it in French: "Bonne nuit," (pronounced bun-nwee) Italian: "Buonanotte" (bwohn-ah-note-teh)

　　“晚安”听起来太干瘪无趣了。想想看这样说多优雅脱俗：用法语"Bonne nuit" (说起来像 bun-nwee)，或者意大利语： "Buonanotte" (bwohn-ah-note-teh)。

　　4. Sing It

　　4、用唱的

　　Think how much of a rock star you'll be in your girl's eyes if you sing her a love song on her front porch⁴ or under her window? She'll think you're a modern-day Romeo with a guitar.

　　如果你能在心爱的她的门廊前或是窗下高唱一曲情歌，你在她眼中将会是摇滚明星一般的存在。她会觉得你是现代版抱着吉他的罗密欧。

　　3. Write a Note

　　3、写一张纸条

　　Too embarrassed⁵ to say how you feel? Write it instead.

　　说出自己的感受太尴尬？那就写下来吧。

　　Rather than saying goodnight, hand your date a letter. Tell her to wait to open it until you've gone. With this approach, you'll seem both romantic⁶ and mysterious.

　　与其嘴上说晚安，不如送给她一封信。让她等到你走之后再打开。这样的你不仅很浪漫，还增加了一些神秘感。

　　2. Recite⁷ a Poem

　　2、背诵一首诗

　　Robert Burns compared his love to a "red, red rose." Shakespeare⁸ thought his was more like "a summer's day." These guys knew how to write some serious poetry; after all, they came up with some of the most romantic lines ever penned.

　　罗伯特·彭斯在诗里把他的爱人比作红玫瑰。莎士比亚眼中的那个她更像是盛夏之日。这些人懂得怎样认真地写诗，毕竟在他们的笔下诞生了最浪漫的诗句。

　　1. Don't Say Anything

　　1、什么也别说

　　Instead of saying "good night," tell your date you'll call tomorrow -- and make sure you actually do it. In the meantime⁹, go home and think about everything that makes her special and wonderful, and all the reasons why you like her and want to see her again.

　　不要说晚安，而是告诉她你明天打过去，并保证你一定会做到。与此同时，回家好好想想她的过人、出色之处，还有你喜欢她、想要再见面的理由。

　　Record those thoughts into a video using your webcam or camcorder. Then e-mail the video to her, or if you can handle the potential fallout, post it on YouTube and send her the link to view

　　把这些想说的话用摄像机录下来，然后把视频发邮件给她。或者，如果你够大胆的话，把视频传到Youtube，然后直接发链接给她。
