So, I met this guy while I was on vacation in Nevada. His name is Thomas and I can’t get him out of my mind! When I first got back from my holiday, we exchanged a few e-mails. It was hard not letting on just how smitten I really was.
我在内华达州度假时认识一个很棒的男孩，他叫汤玛斯，我一直对他无法忘怀！当我结束假期回家后，我们互通了几封电子邮件，我很难掩饰我对他有多神魂颠倒。

Once, while we chatted, on MSN, I almost wrote I love you. Somehow, I managed to keep it in. However, that was yesterday and today is another story. You won’t believe it but he called me this morning.
有次当我们在MSN 上聊天时，我几乎写下“我爱你”，不过我还是没写出来。不过那都是过去的事了，今天又是崭新的一天。你绝对不会相信，他今天早上竟然打电话给我。

We were talking for a while when suddenly he said, “Nicole, I can’t stop thinking about you! You’re amazing and I don’t want to be away from you. What would you say if I came to see you?” I was speechless for a second, then shouted, “YES! Yes! Yes and Yes!” I am over the moon right now. He is planning on coming in 4 weeks and said he would stay for as long as I let him. Wow! I can’t wait!
我们聊了一会儿，他突然说：“妮可，我没有办法不想你！你是个很好的女孩，我不想和你相隔两地，我去找你好吗？”我刹那间讲不出话来，然后大叫“好啊！好啊！当然好啊！”我现在欣喜若狂，他计划四星期后来找我，并且说我允许他待多久，他就待多久。哇！我等不及了！
