When I was having a chit-chat with my colleague, she asked me all of a sudden, "How did your husband propose to you at that time? Was it romantic?" I was numbed by her words for a while, and then burst into laughter, "My husband is a bit rigid, so do you think his proposal would be romantic?" Though I said in that way, I felt very sweet in heart when thinking of my husband's proposing to me. To be honest, his proposal was actually by no means romantic without flowers, diamond ring and any other surprise. It was even could not be called "marriage proposal".
当我有一个聊天与我的同事，她突然问我，“你丈夫怎么当时向你求婚?这是浪漫的?她的话让我麻木了一会儿，然后哈哈大笑，“我丈夫有点硬，所以你认为他的建议会浪漫吗?虽然这样说，我觉得很甜在心里想念我的丈夫向我求婚的。老实说，他的建议其实一点儿都不浪漫，没有鲜花，钻石戒指和任何其他的惊喜。它甚至不能被称为“求婚。
At that time, he gave me a book about Ireland, which, now I am thinking was a long-established plan. At the weekend when I finished the book, he came to me and asked me whether I had finished the book. Seeing me nod my head, he felt very pleased and said to me in a low but happy voice, "If you like, we can get married in an Irish way!"
在那个时候，他给了我一本关于爱尔兰，，，我现在想的是一个长期的计划。当我周末看完这本书，他来找我，问我是否已经完成了那本书。看到我点头，他感到非常高兴，低沉而快乐的声音对我说，“如果你喜欢，我们可以在一个爱尔兰人结婚!
At that time, my heart was totally convinced by the romantic and sacred law of marriage in Ireland. The book told me that Ireland believes in Catholicism and prohibited divorce. Therefore, when a couple get married, they are supposed to choose the time of their marriage which ranges from 1 year to 100 years. The most impressive of this law of marriage lies in the inverse relationship between the time of marriage and the fees to be charged. If you choose 1 year for your marriage, you shall pay as much as 2, 000 sterling pounds plus receiving a dictionary-thick reference of rights and responsibilities. But if you choose 100 years, then you are very lucky and only need to pay 0.5 pound for the fees and receive a short but heart-touching note in all women's eyes: "I have no idea the clear rights and responsibilities for my left hand to my right hand, my right leg to my left leg, my left eye to my right eye and my right sphere of brain to the left. Actually, they are an integrated whole and live by each other and cheer for each other. Finally, I would like this pink note to convey my best wishes to your one-hundred-year marriage! May you live happily all your lives!"
在那个时候，我的心是完全相信婚姻的浪漫和神圣的法律在爱尔兰。这本书告诉我，爱尔兰是信奉天主教，禁止离婚。因此，当一对夫妇结婚，他们应该选择他们的婚姻范围从1年到100年的时间。最令人印象深刻的婚姻法是在结婚的时间和费用之间的反比关系被起诉。如果你选择结婚的1年，你要支付高达2，000英镑加接收的权利和责任，字典厚参考。但如果你选择100年，那么你是非常幸运的，只需要支付0.5英镑的费用，收到一个短而感人的注意在所有女性的眼睛：“我也不知道我的左手右手的明确的权利和责任，我的右腿，左腿，我我的右眼和左眼我右大脑左球。实际上，它们是一个整体，靠彼此，为彼此加油。最后，我想这粉红色纸条转达我最好的祝福给你一百年的婚姻生活!祝你们幸福!
I still remember at that time that I said to my husband, "Ok, so sir, please choose the time you expect our marriage to last!" He said happily, "I even do not bother to think about it and would definitely choose 100 years because it is highly money-saving!"
我还记得当时我对我丈夫说，“好的，先生，请选择你希望我们婚姻持续的时间!他高兴地说，“我甚至不需要去想，肯定会选择100年，因为它是高度省钱!
Later, I married him, a man who would like to stay with me for 100 years. Although we are not bound by the law of marriage in Ireland, we have cherished our vow to discipline ourselves all the time. We have married like Irish people and look on our marriage as a life-long commitment and spare no effort to nourish it hand in hand as we are gradually aging together.
后来，我嫁给了他，一个男人想和我在一起100年了。虽然我们不是爱尔兰的婚姻法律的约束，我们珍视我们发誓要训练自己所有的时间。我们像爱尔兰人一样结婚了，把我们的婚姻是一个终身的承诺，不遗余力地滋养它与子偕老携手。
I also sincerely hope that every pair of lovers in the world can get married like Irish people and love and protect each other whole-heartedly by committing themselves to a 100-year marriage.
我也真诚地希望世界上的每对恋人都能像爱尔兰人、爱和保护对方为致力于100年的婚姻，结婚。
