近日,一位名叫刘飞的男子在一块巨石旁边单膝跪地,向自己的女友王芳芳求婚。在广大围观群众的祝福下,王芳芳答应了求婚,两人相互拥抱在一起。The scene happened in a plaza in Urumqi, capital city of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region on March 14. The rock weighs 33 tons, and was said to be a meteorite bought by Liu Fei with over a million yuan.
这一幕于3月14日发生在新疆乌鲁木齐的一个广场上。上述提到的巨石重达33吨,是刘飞花费百万元买来的陨石。Liu Fei and Wang Fangfang has been in a relationship for four years. Last year, when they traveled to Kashgar, a friend of Liu told him that a native person collector owns a huge "meteorite."
刘飞和王芳芳已经交往四年。去年,两人到新疆喀什葛尔市旅游,刘飞的朋友告诉他一个当地人家里收藏了一颗巨型陨石。
Liu and Wang visited the collector and Liu liked the "meteorite" a lot.
随后,两人便去拜访收藏者,刘飞非常喜欢这颗巨型陨石。Liu asked Wang if she liked the rock, she said "yes". So he decided to buy the "meteorite" and propose to her with it.
刘飞问王芳芳是否喜欢这块陨石,王芳芳表示“喜欢”。于是刘飞就决定要将这颗陨石买下来,并用此来求婚。After multiple times of communication with the collector, Liu finally bought the "meteorite" with over one million yuan, the money he originally planned to buy an apartment.
在与这位收藏者多番交流协商之后,刘飞最终以一百万元(最初是计划用来买一套房)的金额将这颗陨石买了下来。The "meteorite" was transported to the plaza in Urumqi in the evening of March 12, covered with a patch of red cloth.
之后,这颗陨石于3月12日晚运到乌鲁木齐广场,并被一块红布覆盖起来。"This means our love will last firm and long", said Liu. "And I chose to propose to her at 13:14, which means I'll love her for all my life." (The number combination 1314 in Chinese pronounces like "all one's life", thus was used often between lovers for lifetime commitment.)
“这颗陨石象征着我们的爱情坚固而长久,”刘飞说道,“我选择中午13点14分向她求婚,象征着爱她一生一世。”(“1314”这组数字的读音与汉语中“一生一世”谐音,经常用于情侣之间许下终身承诺。)
