2. 一个小伙子暗恋着一个女孩。女孩是他的同事，他们在一个办公室里工作。小伙子性格内向，不善言辞，他不知道如何向女孩子表达他的爱慕之意。写情书吧，小伙子是学理工的，一直搞技术工作，满脑子的图形，就是没有一句有文采的话。小城也没有鲜花店，电影电视上常见的送花那一套也无从说起。至于直接了当地告诉女孩子说“我爱你”，小伙子就更没有那胆量了。一个小伙子暗恋着一个女孩。女孩是他的同事，他们在一个办公室里工作。小伙子性格内向，不善言辞，他不知道如何向女孩子表达他的爱慕之意。写情书吧，小伙子是学理工的，一直搞技术工作，满脑子的图形，就是没有一句有文采的话。小城也没有鲜花店，电影电视上常见的送花那一套也无从说起。至于直接了当地告诉女孩子说“我爱你”，小伙子就更没有那胆量了。

3. 这样的恋情应该说是没有什么希望的了。事实上一年后他们却结了婚。有人向小伙子讨教，他说：“我每天上班第一件事就是帮她擦桌子，然后为她泡上一杯她喜欢喝的绿茶。她的胃不好，我经常备些胃药放在她的桌上。一开始她不知道是我做的这些事情，时间长了就知道了。就这么简单。”这样的恋情应该说是没有什么希望的了。事实上一年后他们却结了婚。有人向小伙子讨教，他说：“我每天上班第一件事就是帮她擦桌子，然后为她泡上一杯她喜欢喝的绿茶。她的胃不好，我经常备些胃药放在她的桌上。一开始她不知道是我做的这些事情，时间长了就知道了。就这么简单。” • 忍不住叫人想到“浪漫”一词。写情书是一种浪漫，送99朵玫瑰是一种浪漫。我不知道，擦桌子泡茶送药是否也是一种浪漫。浪漫是没有定式的，或许那些实实在在地呵护和关爱才是真正的浪漫，它是生命之火所点燃的最绚烂的花朵。

4. Being Romantic • One young man was secretly in love with a girl, one of his fellow-office workers. Being a man of few words and not good at expressing his feelings, he did not know how to unbosom himself of his love for her.He had thought of writing love letters to her, but he had been a student of technology and was now working as a technician. He could not for the life of him dig out one beautiful sentence from a mind which was stocked full with diagrams and graphs. Presenting flowers, as is often seen over TV and in films, was out of the question, there being no flower shops in this small town. As to a face-to-face confession of love, he absolutely had not the guts to do so.

5. Usually speaking, such a young man is a hopeless suitor. But as a matter of fact they got married a year later. When asked about his successful experience, he confided, "The first thing I did every morning after coming to the office is to wipe her desk and put on her desk a cup of the green tea which she likes. She has a weak stomach, so I also placed on her desk some medicine for stomach trouble. It wasn't long before she found who had been paying her all these attentions.As simple as that! "

6. His words remind me of the word “romantic”. Writing love letters is an outpouring of romantic feelings, so is offering a big bunch of red roses. The expression of love follows no definite pattern.I wonder if wiping desk and preparing tea and medicine for a person of one's heart is not one of.the ways. Maybe true love lies in giving heart-felt care and whole-hearted protection. That and that alone is.the reddest rose nurtured by the spring of life.
