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

　　完美的约会结束了，你们聊了一晚上，牵了对方的手，也互相深情对望过。

　　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.

　　现在你的美妙夜晚临近尾声，你得想出一种方式将约会画上句号，既要让你看起来淡定，又要表示出对对方的兴趣。

　　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.

　　你可以按照老方法来，普普通通地说一声“晚安”或者（如果感觉对，并且她的父母没有在窗边监视的话）给她一个吻。又或者，你可以试试以下五种可爱又新颖的方式来结束这次约会。

　　5 Say it in Another Language

　　5、用另一种语言说晚安

　　“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”听起来太干瘪无趣了。想想看这样说多优雅脱俗：用法语“Bonne nuit” （说起来像 bun-nwee），或者意大利语： “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.

　　如果你能在心爱的她的门廊前或是窗下高唱一曲情歌，你在她眼中将会是摇滚明星一般的存在。她会觉得你是现代版抱着吉他的罗密欧。

　　3 Write a Note

　　3、写一张纸条

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

　　说出自己的感受太尴尬？那就写下来吧。

　　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.

　　与其嘴上说晚安，不如送给她一封信。让她等到你走之后再打开。这样的你不仅很浪漫，还增加了一些神秘感。

　　2 Recite a Poem

　　2、背诵一首诗

　　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.

　　罗伯特·彭斯在诗里把他的爱人比作红玫瑰。莎士比亚眼中的那个她更像是盛夏之日。这些人懂得怎样认真地写诗，毕竟在他们的笔下诞生了最浪漫的诗句。

　　1 Don‘t Say Anything

　　1、什么也别说

　　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.

　　不要说晚安，而是告诉她你明天打过去，并保证你一定会做到。与此同时，回家好好想想她的过人、出色之处，还有你喜欢她、想要再见面的理由。

　　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.

　　把这些想说的话用摄像机录下来，然后把视频发邮件给她。或者，如果你够大胆的话，把视频传到Youtube，然后直接发链接给她。
