情人节:各种花样过节攻略（英汉对照）
1. Surprise them with a reunion
送上一个惊喜的团聚
No one wants to spend Valentines Day alone, at least not those who already have a boyfriend or girlfriend. So, if possible, stay with your love. 没人想一个人过情人节，至少有男/女朋友的人从来都不想。

所以，尽可能和你的爱人一起过节吧！
Entry Level: If you and your loved one are in the same city, take them out directly.

高级版：如果你们身处异地，那就飞去TA的身边。

There is a beautiful Chinese song called I Came Over the Ocean to See You, by well-known Taiwanese singer and songwriter Jonathan Lee. Why not do that it in reality? Keep your plan a secret and show up suddenly. You can learn from the romantic movie Sleepless in Seattle (1993). The protagonist Sam Baldwin, played by Tom Hanks, flew to Seattle to meet Annie Reed, played by Meg Ryan, at the top of the Empire State Building.
中国有一首优美的歌曲，来自台湾歌手、词曲作家李宗盛，名叫《漂洋过海来看你》。

为什么不试着把它变成现实呢？你可以秘密计划，
然后在节日当天突然出现。

你也可以借鉴浪漫爱情电影《西雅图夜未眠》中的桥段：男主萨姆鲍德温千里迢迢飞去西雅图，在帝国大厦的顶层与女主安妮瑞德浪漫约会。

2. Create something memorable
留下难忘回忆
In this digital age, even if its impossible to reunite with your loved one, you can still express your feelings in a unique way.
在这个数字化的时代，就算无法与爱人相聚，你也可以用与众不同的方法表达爱意。

初级版：自拍一张，发给女友。

Master Level: Shoot a short video.
高级版：录段视频给她。

In the South Korean TV series My Love From the Star (2013), Cheon Song-yi sends her lover a short video in which she dances before asking for his hand in marriage. Sometimes, its difficult to express your emotions face to face. So make a short video to show your feelings. You can simply talk, dance and pose in cute ways.
在韩剧《来自星星的你》中，千颂伊就给都教授发去一段跳舞求婚的视频。

有时候，面对面很难表达的感情可以通过视频告诉TA。

你可以只是说说话，或是跳段舞、摆个姿势、卖个萌。

3. Give em what they want
送一份TA想要的礼物
Giving gifts matters on Valentines Day, but avoid giving something you like. Give your partner what they really want to satisfy them.

In the movie Definitely, Maybe (2008), the protagonist spends years buying copies of Jane Eyre from secondhand stores in order to find the copy his beloved once lost. The book was given to her by her father with an inscription, and it meant a lot to her. At the bottom of everyones heart are wishes that remain unfulfilled. Show your partner you care by helping them realize their dream.
在影片《确定地可能》中，男主角数年间穿梭于各家二手书店，购买了很多版本的《简爱》，只为找到心上人曾经丢失的那一本，因为那本书上有她父亲的题名，因而对她意义重大。

在每个人的心底都有一些未完成的愿望，帮你的爱人实现它正是你表达爱意的不二之选。

Perhaps you can ask friends to join in sending your affections to someone special. Plus, many platforms like 21st Centurys WeChat have activities you can participate in to air your feelings in the open.
如果你觉得自己不够勇敢，为何不向朋友寻求帮助？在电影《新警察故事》中，成龙饰演的陈国荣就将他的警察同事们都拉进了自己的告白计划之中。

你可以让你的朋友们帮你转达爱意，也可以通过很多平台大声说出你的告白，比如参与《21世纪英文报》微信平台的情人节表白特别策划。
