　　雅思閱讀材料大集合：如何經(jīng)營(yíng)持久的愛(ài)情

　　If you’re in a long term relationship or marriage, you know that it’s not always easy to keep that warm glow of freshness and excitement alive in your relationship.

　　假如你有固定伴侶，或早已邁入婚姻殿堂，你便能體會(huì)到：在感情中，若想保持起初的新鮮和刺激感，可不是一件容易的事。

　　After the first bout of heady romantic love is gone, everyday sameness settles into any relationship.

　　當(dāng)最初那陣令人迷醉又轉(zhuǎn)瞬即逝的浪漫散去，你們的小日子里便漸漸開(kāi)始被日復(fù)一日的枯燥所占據(jù)了。

　　And unless you’re making conscious efforts to keep things hot, soon boredom and tedium takes the shine off one of the most special relationships of your life, making it feel like just another chore. So what are these conscious efforts that you can make?

　　除非刻意保持新鮮感，否則這段生命中最特別的關(guān)系將會(huì)被無(wú)聊和單調(diào)抹去它原有的光輝，使你厭倦不堪。那么，該如何來(lái)有意識(shí)地避免這種事發(fā)生?

　　Here are some of the tricks my husband and I frequently use to keep things as new and happening as our first few days.

　　我和我的丈夫是通過(guò)以下的幾個(gè)小技巧，來(lái)保持兩人間的新鮮感的。

　　1. Surprise Surprise!

　　驚喜!驚喜!

　　Couples spend weeks – sometimes months – planning for the next birthday/anniversary gift for their spouse/significant other.

　　通常，倆口子會(huì)一起計(jì)劃下一個(gè)生日/紀(jì)念日怎么過(guò)，以及送給對(duì)方什么禮物。這事兒可能要花上幾星期、甚至幾個(gè)月來(lái)完成。

　　Have you ever thought how you can magically sweep your partner off their feet with a fraction of that effort on an ordinary day?

　　不過(guò)，你有沒(méi)有想過(guò)在一個(gè)平凡的日子里，突然給對(duì)方一個(gè)大驚喜呢?

　　Nothing works like giving tiny, simple – and most importantly, unexpected – surprises to each other in keeping the air of freshness and novelty in your relationship.

　　若想幫助情感保鮮，沒(méi)什么比送給對(duì)方一個(gè)出其不意又意義重大的小禮物更好的辦法了。

　　2. Romantic texts

　　發(fā)浪漫短信

　　A great thing about those “I miss you kitten” texts you used to send each other in the initial days of your relationship is the juvenile excitement in them.

　　我們?cè)趹賽?ài)初期，之所以鐘情于互發(fā)“想你啦，寶貝”之類(lèi)的短信，是因?yàn)樗軒Ыo我們一種青澀的甜蜜。

　　You need that back right now. OK, it may not be 10 times a day like back then – but can you text him/her randomly, suddenly and romantically on some random ordinary day?

　　現(xiàn)在的你們也需要它。沒(méi)必要像以前那樣，一發(fā)就十幾條，但你也可以在平日里偶爾“肉麻”一下嘛。

　　The smile it brings on their lips will spread its glow for quite some time in your relationship – until the next time you do the same, that is.

　　當(dāng)你的愛(ài)人看到短信，他們不自覺(jué)的微笑將蔓延開(kāi)來(lái)，為你們的感情增添一道明亮色彩。如此反復(fù)，愛(ài)將日益堅(jiān)固。
