He met her at a party.She was outstanding many guys were alter her,but no one paid attention to him.After the party,he invited her for coffee.She was surpised.In order not to appear rude she went along.
他是在一个派对上遇到她的。她很出色,很多很多男士都在讨好她想要接近她,但是没有人注意到这个他(开头第一个他)。派对结束后,他邀请她去喝一杯咖啡。她很惊讶,但是为了表现得不那么没礼貌,她还是去了。
As they sat in a nice coffee shop,he was too nervous to say anything and she felt uncomfortable. Suddenly,he asked the waiter,"Could you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee."
他们在一间很不错的咖啡厅坐着,他太紧张了,以至于说不出话来,她也觉得很不舒服。突然间,他问服务生“可以给我一点盐么?我想放在我的咖啡里面。”
They stared at him.He turned red,but when the salt came he put it in his coffee and drank.Confused,she asked,"why salt with coffee?"He explained,"When I was a boy,I lived near the sea, I liked playing in the sea,I could feel its salty taste,like salty coffee.Now every time I drink it,I think of my childhood and my hometown. I miss it and my parents,who are still there."
咖啡厅里面的人都盯着他看,他脸都红了,但是当盐上来之后,他把盐放在咖啡里面,然后喝下了咖啡。她很迷惑的问“为什么在咖啡里面放盐?”他解释道:“当我还是小孩子的时候,我在海边住,我喜欢在大海里面玩,我能够感觉到大海咸咸的味道,就像放了盐的咖啡。现在每一次我喝有盐的咖啡,我就会想起我的童年,还有我的家乡。我很想念着一切,想念我的父母,他们还在那里。”
She was deeply touched.A man who can admit that he's childish must love his home and care about his family.He must be responsible
她被深深地感动了,一个能够勇于承认自己怀念童年的男人,一定深深的爱着他的家,并且关心家人,他一定很负责任。
She talked too,about her faraway hometown,her childhood,her family.That was the start of their love story
她也开始讲话了,说她遥远的家乡,她的童年,她的家庭。这就是他们爱情故事的开始。
They continued to date.She found that he suited all her requirements.He was tolerate,warm and careful.And to think she would have missed the husband if not for the salty coffee!
他们继续约会着。她觉得这个男人满足了她的一切要求。他很耐心,又温暖,并且很小心。她想,如果不是加了盐的咖啡,她可能就错过了一个丈夫!!
So they married and lived happily together.And every time she made coffee for him,she put in some salty the way he liked it.
于是他们结婚了,并且幸福的住在一起。每一次她为他做咖啡的时候,她总是要放一些盐,就像他喜欢的那样。
After 40 years,he passed away and left her a letter which said:
"My dearest,please forgive my lifelong lie.Remember the first time we dated?"
40年过去了,他离开了人世,留下了一封信给她,信上面说“我最亲爱的,请原谅我那个说了一辈子的谎言,记得我们第一次约会么?”
was go nervous I asked for salt instead of sugar
我当时太紧张了,所以才要了盐,其实我是想要糖
It was hard for me to ask for a chance.So I just went ahead.I never thought that we would hit it off.Many times,I tried to tell you the truth,but I was afraid that it would ruin everything
对我来说,争取一个机会很不容易,所以我就继续下去了。我真的没有想到我们会相处得那么好,很多次,我都想告诉你真实的情况,但是我害怕那样做会毁了一切。

亲爱的,我其实并不喜欢喝有盐的咖啡,但是这件事情对你来说那么重要,我学会去享受这些有盐的咖啡,如果我有再活一次的机会,我希望我们还能够在一起,甚至是我需要一辈子都喝有盐的咖啡。
