1. praise
It’s not diamonds and flowers that make a relationship remain as warm, loving and intimate as it was at the start. It’s the little things. So check out the tips that follow.
讓一段感情保持最初的溫馨、愛戀和親密的,并不是鉆石或鮮花,而是生活中的小細(xì)節(jié)。
1.Praise Your Partner for the Little Things
贊美對(duì)方
If there's something you appreciate about your partner, from the way he or she makes
scrambled eggs to how hard he or she is working on decorating the bedroom, speak up. Praise provides a reminder of your love.
如果有一些小事讓你很欣賞你的另一半,不管是他/她炒雞蛋做得很好吃,還是他/她很辛苦地裝飾臥室,都記得要說(shuō)出來(lái)。贊美是愛情的表達(dá)方式。
2. thoughtful
2.Be Thoughtful
要體貼
The good we do tends to come back to us. When you're thoughtful to your partner, he or she's more
inclined to be thoughtful in return. So remember to buy each other's favourite dessert, cut out or email articles you think your partner might like, or take on the other's jobs like arranging for your partner to have a day off, with no housework or expectations.
我們的善舉總是會(huì)有所回報(bào)。如果你對(duì)你的伴侶體貼照顧,他/她也會(huì)用體貼入微來(lái)回報(bào)你,所以要記得買對(duì)方最愛吃的甜點(diǎn),把對(duì)方可能愛看的文章剪下來(lái)或者電郵過(guò)去,幫他/她安排一天沒有家務(wù)輕松自在的假期休息下。
3. promise
3. Keep Your Promises
堅(jiān)守承諾
Failing to keep your word can destroy the unity and trust in a relationship. It's better to say 'Let me think about it' than to say you'll do something but fail to deliver.
不守承諾會(huì)毀了一段感情的和睦和信任。所以最好常說(shuō)“讓我想一想”,而不是夸下??趨s沒辦法實(shí)現(xiàn)諾言。
4. share passion
4.Share Your Passions
分享熱情
Take turns choosing an arts or cultural event to attend together each month. The point is to show your partner what you love, so that he or she can experience it as you do (or close enough). To make this work, both of you have to be flexible: someone might have to attend a football match or the theatre. The reward lies in experiencing each other's passion. And who knows – you may have a lot more fun than you ever imagined.
每月輪流選擇并一起參加一項(xiàng)藝術(shù)或者文化活動(dòng)。這么做,是向你的愛人展示你的愛好,這樣他/她也可以和你一起經(jīng)歷(或者近距離感受)。想要做好這一點(diǎn),你們倆都必須很寬容并愿意配合:可能有人得去看足球比賽或者去劇院。這樣做的好處是可以體會(huì)對(duì)方到某些事物的熱愛之情。而且說(shuō)不定,你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)其中的樂(lè)趣比你想象得要多得多!
5. full moon
5. Kiss Under a Full Moon
在月夜下親吻
On a fine evening, spread a blanket under the night sky and drink in the beauty and quiet of your
surroundings together. You can talk if you wish, or simply
savour the silence and the experience of being together, side-by-side, under the stars.
找個(gè)天氣不錯(cuò)的晚上,在夜空下鋪條毯子,在美麗安靜的環(huán)境下一起喝點(diǎn)酒??梢粤狞c(diǎn)什么,或者只是肩并肩躺在星空下,享受寧?kù)o時(shí)光和兩個(gè)人在一起的感覺。
oon game
6. Play the Honeymoon Game
玩玩蜜月游戲
Do something for your partner that you did when you were
newlyweds or first got together. Make a special meal. Send some flowers after a night of lovemaking.
Tuck notes in unexpected places.
回想下你們新婚燕爾或剛在一起的時(shí)候你為他/她做過(guò)什么,再做一次吧。做頓特別的飯菜,一夜纏綿后送束花,或者在他/她意想不到的地方留個(gè)愛心小便條。
7. discussion
7. Discuss the Big Things in Life
討論生活中的大事
When you were
courting, did you talk for hours about current events or the meaning of life? If all you seem to talk about now is the grocery shopping or how much to spend on a new sofa, reintroduce meaningful conversation into your relationship. Try this: one night, while you're in front of the TV or in the car, make a
provocative (but not hurtful) remark about something your partner cares deeply about – the government, a sportsman or woman – something that will get his or her dander up. He or she will disagree, of course, which will get the ball rolling. And keep it rolling!
戀愛的時(shí)候,你們有沒有花大把的時(shí)間來(lái)談?wù)摃r(shí)事或者探究生命的意義?如果現(xiàn)在你們只會(huì)談些瑣碎小事,像去雜貨店買東西或者新沙發(fā)要花多少錢這類的,那你們就需要在你們的感情里再次添加些有意義的對(duì)話。不如試試這個(gè):有一天,當(dāng)你坐在電視前或者在車?yán)锏臅r(shí)候,就你的愛人很關(guān)注的事情(政府或者運(yùn)動(dòng)員都可以)發(fā)表一些挑釁的言論(不要語(yǔ)出傷人),講一些可能會(huì)讓他生氣發(fā)怒的話。他/她肯定不會(huì)同意你的觀點(diǎn)啦,這樣談話才能繼續(xù)下去嘛,繼續(xù)聊吧。
聲明:雙語(yǔ)文章中,中文翻譯僅代表譯者個(gè)人觀點(diǎn),僅供參考。如有不妥之處,歡迎指正。
