想尝试做quora(国外的一个问答网站)翻译,但当时觉得自己能力实在太差达不到要求,但某日突然发现这想法已经过了一年多,才意识到如果不去主动尝试或是做相关学习,其实也不会进步的。与其原地踏步不如勇敢试错。
所以今天开始了第一次翻译,翻译功底很差,见笑。欢迎任何批评建议或是交流,请留言。
原题:What's the most romantic thing anyone has ever done for you?

一天晚上,我和男朋友(现在是未婚夫)一起看电影。那是一部爱情片,但却不是他喜欢的风格,或许觉得乏味,他中途睡着了。我继续看着,电影的后半部分感情戏很足,接近尾声时我感动地落泪了。他醒来后抱紧了我,擦拭我的泪水,问我是不是电影太感人才哭的,我点了点头。电影结束时已经很晚了,我们直接上床休息。
One night my then boyfriend, now fiance, and I were watching a movie. It was a romantic one - not his preferred genre and he fell asleep midway into the movie. I continued watching. The 2nd half turned out to be quite emotional. Near the end I started crying softly. He woke up to my tears and immediately wrapped his arms around me to sooth me. He asked if it was the movie and I nodded. Since it was already late, we went to bed shortly afterwards.
第二天早上起床,穿衣洗漱做好上班的准备。男友正在电视机前吃早饭,这是他上班前常做的事,当我走近时却发现他正在看的是昨晚我们看过的电影。
我很吃惊,因为这并不是他喜欢的电影类型而且昨晚还看睡着了。
“为什么你重看这部电影呢?”我疑惑地问到.
他温暖的眼神带着认真的光芒,“我想知道到底是什么把我家小宝贝弄掉眼泪了”
The next morning I woke up, readied myself for the day and headed downstairs. He was eating breakfast in front of the TV - his usual routine before work. As I rounded the corner, I saw he was watching the movie from the night before. I was surprised as he was clearly not that interested then. "Why are you watching this?" I asked. He gave me a sweet, sincere look and said, "I wanted to see what made you cry."
