除了 I love you,情人節還能怎麼表白?

生活中心專題報導

情人節這一天,觸目所見均是粉紅色,主要形狀心型,送糖要送巧克力,送花要送玫瑰,亮晶晶的唯有鑽石,很少人會記得這原本宗教節日,浪漫愛情成爲這個節日的主軸。下列內容,可供大家即口說出或簡訊傳情

愛要怎麼說》Will you be my valentine?

這天最適合向心儀對象表白,這句話意思爲「你願意成爲我之所愛嗎?」這是求愛的表示,比直接說Will you be my love?更富情調。若迴應是「yes」,那麼一笑、一吻就足夠了,無聲勝有聲。若答案是否,就有點尷尬了,可說「Are you serious?」配以善意的微笑,使對方知難而退。

舊愛重逢》For old time’s sake

如果在這一天和舊愛重逢,該說什麼呢?電影北非諜影」(Casablanca)幾乎年年出現在情人節的螢光幕上。它提供一句最經典的話:for old time’s sake(爲了美好的過去),此話一出,所有濃情蜜意的感覺都回來了。

求婚大作戰》Being with you is the only way I could have a full and happy life.

這是電影「我的失憶女友」(50 First Dates)中的對白;許多人喜歡挑這一天結婚,在邀請卡上可寫「Come celebrate love and romance on Valentine’s Day at our wedding.」謝卡可這樣寫「Thank you for being our valentines.」。

如何在這天表達愛意,要依個性而定,在此提供幾種選擇:

耗呆男:I may not be a smart man, but I know what love is. ─ Forrest Gump 阿甘正傳

寡言男:I love you. You … you complete me. ─ Jerry Mcquire征服情海

甜嘴男:Take love, multiply it by infinity and take it to the depths of forever… and you still have only a glimpse of how I feel for you.(愛吧!把這份愛乘以地老天荒直至永遠永遠,而這只是我愛你的小小一瞥。)─ Meet Joe Black第六感生死緣

誠實男:I love you even when you’re sick and look disgusting. ─Love Actually 愛是你,愛是我
