Unit 4 Section A College sweethearts 1 I smile at my two lovely daughters and they seem so much more mature than we, their parents, when we were college sweethearts. Linda, who's 21, had a boyfriend in her freshman year she thought she would marry, but they're not together anymore. Melissa, who's 19, hasn't had a steady boyfriend yet. My daughters wonder when they will meet "The One", their great love. They think their father and I had a classic fairy-tale romance heading for marriage from the outset. Perhaps, they're right but it didn't seem so at the time. In a way, love just happens when you least expect it. Who would have thought that Butch and I would end up getting married to each other? He became my boyfriend because of my shallow agenda: I wanted a cute boyfriend!

1 我微笑着看着我那两个可爱的女儿，她们似乎比她们的父母还是大学情侣那会儿更为成熟。 琳达，21岁，在大学一年级交过一个男友，她曾以为会跟那个男孩结婚，但他们已不再来往了。 梅丽莎，19岁，还没有一个固定的男友。 我的女儿不知何时才能遇到她们的那个“唯一”，她们伟大的爱。 她们认为她们的父亲和我有着一段经典的、童话般的浪漫史，从一开始就直奔婚姻的殿堂。 也许，她们是正确的，但在那时似乎并不是那么回事。 在某种程度上，爱神恰恰在你最没准备时来临。 谁曾想到，布奇和我最终会结婚呢？ 他之所以成为我男友，只是因为当时我那肤浅的打算：我要找一个可爱的男友！

Meaning: Love comes your way when you don’t really expect it. No one thought that Butch and I would finally get married. He became my boyfriend simply because I would like to fulfill my shallow wish: to have an attractive boyfriend in college.

Meaning beyond words: Here is the suspense of the story – the author gives a broad hint that she will tell us how she and her husband got married at last. 2 We met through my college roommate at the university cafeteria. That fateful night, I was merely curious, but for him I think it was love at first sight. "You have beautiful eyes", he said as he gazed at my face. He kept staring at me all night long. I really wasn't that interested for two reasons. First, he looked like he was a really wild boy, maybe even dangerous. Second, although he was very cute, he seemed a little weird.

2 我们通过我的大学室友介绍在大学食堂相识。 在那个命中注定的夜晚，我只是好奇，但对他而言，我认为是一见钟情。 他凝视着我的脸，说：“你有一双美丽的眼睛。” 他整个晚上一直盯着我。 我真的对他没那么感兴趣，其原因有二。 首先，他看起来就像是一个野小子，甚至还有些危险。 其次，虽然他 …… 此处隐藏：15537字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
