英語愛情故事：愛的表白
It was Friday morning and a you.g businessman finally decided to ask his boss for a raise. Before leaving for work, he told his wife what he was about to do. All day long he felt nervous and apprehensive(憂慮的;不安的). Finally, in the late afternoon, he summoned the courage to approach his employer, and to his delight, the boss agreed to the raise.
The happy husband arrived home and was surprised to see a beautiful table set with their best china and lighted candles. Smelling the aroma of a festive meal, he figured that someone from the office had called his wife and tipped her off.
Finding her in the kitchen, he eagerly shared the details of his good news. They embraced and danced around the room before sitting down to the wonderful meal his wife had prepared.
Next to his plate he found an artistically lettered note that read, “Congratulations, darling. I knew you’d get the raise. This dinner is to show you how much I love you.”
Later on his way to the kitchen to help his wife serve dessert, he noticed that a second card had fallen from her pocket. Picking it up, he read, “Don’t worry about not getting the raise. You deserve it anyway. This dinner is to show you how much I love you.”
這是一個星期五的早上，一個年輕的商人終於決定要老闆爲他加薪水。臨出門上班前，他把他的想法跟妻子說了。整整一天,年輕人都處於高度緊張和深深的憂慮之中。最後，傍晚時分，他鼓起勇氣去見老闆，讓他喜出望外的是，老闆同意了他的要求。
興高采烈的他回到了家，一進家門，他就看到餐桌上整齊地擺放着他們最好的瓷餐具，還點着蠟燭，漂亮極了。不僅如此，他還聞到了只有節日歡宴纔有的菜香。他猜：肯定是辦公室裏哪位同事打電話到他家把他加薪的事向他的妻子透了底。
看到妻子在廚房裏，他迫不及待地把這個好消息告訴了她。他們在屋子裏熱烈地擁抱，繞着房間跳舞。然後，他們在餐桌旁坐了下來，享用妻子精心準備的美味佳餚。
他突然發現在他的碟子旁邊放着一張用美術體寫的便籤，上面寫着：“祝賀你，親愛的!我知道你一定能加薪的!這頓晚餐向你表達我對你的濃濃愛意!”
過了一會，在去廚房幫助妻子準備甜點的時候，他注意到又有一張卡片從妻子的口袋裏滑落出來，他撿了起來，念道：“不要爲沒有加薪而煩惱!不管怎樣，我都認爲你應該加薪。就讓這頓晚餐來表達我有多愛你!”
