老外在中国，是种什么样的生活体验？Second Thought栏目系列文章带你走近老外的真实生活。 I’ve never done too many truly bold, romantic things in my life, but just about five years ago, after getting a job offer in China, I told my on-again, off-again girlfriend of several years that I wanted to drop by her house to talk to her. 我这一生中从未做过什么真正大胆又浪漫的事情，但就在五年前，在得到中国的一个工作机会之后，我告诉我分分合合数年的女友说我想在路过她家时和她谈谈。 We had dreamed about living in China after a friend had come back from a few years living in Shanghai and Hong Kong and telling us all about his experience. Neither one of us had ever been to Asia, but it sounded fascinating. 我们有个朋友在上海和香港生活了几年，回国后和我们分享了他的经历，于是我们开始梦想在中国生活。我们两人都未曾去过亚洲，但那里听起来很让人神往。 So when the opportunity came around a few months later, straight out of the blue, I had to see Delores. We were, by the way, off again at that time. But I could not image going to China without her. It had been our dream. I realized I loved her and I didn't want to lose her. 于是大约几个月后，突然之间，机会来了。我得去见德洛丽丝。那会儿我们又分手了。但是我无法想象没有她自己独自一人去中国的情景。这曾经是我们共同的梦想。我意识到我爱她，不想失去她。 |
