　　It‘s been a perfect date. You talked all night ,held hands. You stared dreamily into each other’s eyes.

　　完美的約會結束了，你們聊了一晚上，牽了對方的手，也互相深情對望過。

　　Now your amazing evening is coming to an end， and you‘ve got to figure out a way to end the date that makes you seem cool and interested in your new paramour -- at the same time.

　　現在你的美妙夜晚臨近尾聲，你得想出一種方式將約會畫上句號，既要讓你看起來淡定，又要表示出對對方的興趣。

　　You could go the traditional route， saying a plain old “good night” or （if the vibe feels right and her parents aren‘t hovering at the windows） give her a kiss. Or， you could try one of these five creative and very cute ways of bringing your date to a close.

　　你可以按照老方法來，普普通通地說一聲“晚安”或者（如果感覺對，并且她的父母沒有在窗邊監視的話）給她一個吻。又或者，你可以試試以下五種可愛又新穎的方式來結束這次約會。

　　5 Say it in Another Language

　　5、用另一種語言說晚安

　　“Good night” sounds so dry and uninspiring when you say it in English。 Think how much more sophisticated 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”聽起來太干癟無趣了。想想看這樣說多優雅脫俗：用法語“Bonne nuit” （說起來像 bun-nwee），或者意大利語： “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 porch or under her window？ She‘ll think you’re a modern-day Romeo with a guitar.

　　如果你能在心愛的她的門廊前或是窗下高唱一曲情歌，你在她眼中將會是搖滾明星一般的存在。她會覺得你是現代版抱著吉他的羅密歐。

　　3 Write a Note

　　3、寫一張紙條

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

　　說出自己的感受太尷尬？那就寫下來吧。

　　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 romantic and mysterious.

　　與其嘴上說晚安，不如送給她一封信。讓她等到你走之后再打開。這樣的你不僅很浪漫，還增加了一些神秘感。

　　2 Recite a Poem

　　2、背誦一首詩

　　Robert Burns compared his love to“a red， red rose.” Shakespeare 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.

　　羅伯特·彭斯在詩里把他的愛人比作紅玫瑰。莎士比亞眼中的那個她更像是盛夏之日。這些人懂得怎樣認真地寫詩，畢竟在他們的筆下誕生了最浪漫的詩句。

　　1 Don‘t Say Anything

　　1、什么也別說

　　Instead of saying “good night，” tell your date you‘ll call tomorrow -- and make sure you actually do it. In the meantime， 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.

　　不要說晚安，而是告訴她你明天打過去，并保證你一定會做到。與此同時，回家好好想想她的過人、出色之處，還有你喜歡她、想要再見面的理由。

　　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.

　　把這些想說的話用攝像機錄下來，然后把視頻發郵件給她。或者，如果你夠大膽的話，把視頻傳到Youtube，然后直接發鏈接給她。
