Instead, my boyfriend asked me to marry him while I was Windexing the bathroom mirror.我一直有这样一个梦想：在一个星光灿烂的晚上，在一家咖啡馆里，就像梵高所画的“夜晚的咖啡馆”我的工作室里就挂着这样一幅画的翻印本。然而我男朋友却在我用“稳得新”擦卫生间镜子时让我嫁给他。2、But the more time and effort I put in, the more the universe tried to thwart me. The Great bank from Los Angeles that I wanted wasnt available. The stitching I had requested for my cathedral veil was all wrong. My ivory skill was being quarantined somewhere in Singapore.但是我投入的时间和精力越多，万事就越和我过不去，没有请到我想要的来自洛杉矶的希腊乐队，我到教堂时所带面纱的针线活也很糟，不是我原来要求的。我的象牙色的丝绸礼服也被隔离在新加坡某个地方了。3、I realized that a Big Day without my mother would be no day at all. Not having my dad , who passed away three years before, to walk me down the aisle was painful, but the thought of not having Mom there was unbearable. 我意识到没有母亲的大喜日子是不可思议的。父亲已经在三年前去世了，不可能牵着我的手到教堂完婚，这已经让我很凄苦，但一想到那天母亲也不能在教堂就让我无法忍受。4、Our baby sister, whod been looking after Mom since Dads death, was gripped by fear as the familiar sights and smells were eerily reminiscent of his final days. After consulting with doctors, we learned that stomach surgery was Moms only option. we took the fist opening.我们小妹自父亲死后就一直照护着母亲，这类似的情况让她想起了父亲临终时的日子，使她内心被恐惧占据。在咨询医生后，我们得知做胃部手术是母亲唯一的选择。医院有一个床位我们就住进去了。5、Whats more, caring for my Mom made me realize how consummately she had cared for all of us. Ill never forget when I went to see her in the intensive-care unit, just a few hours after her surgery. She was stung out with a myriad of plastic tubes protruding from her arms, nose, and mouth. “Liz, make sure you eat something,” she said in a strained, raspy voice.而且，照护母亲使我意识到她当年照护我们几个是多么尽心尽力。我永远忘不了在母亲做完手术后的几个小时我到特殊病房看她，她躺在那里，手臂、鼻孔和嘴里都插满了那么多的塑料导管，她却吃力，沙哑地说道：“莉兹，你一定要吃点东西”。6、Ive forgotten what kind of stitching is in my veil. But when I remove it from it from my face, Ill be staring at the two people I love beyond all reason: my soon-to-be husband and the woman who showed me whats really important.我已经忘记了面纱上的刺绣。但当我掀开面纱的时候，我肯定会默默地注视着那两个我最爱的人:我的未婚夫和让我懂得人生要义的那个女人我的母亲。英语翻译（第三章）1.In sequential testimony, each one stated that he did not believe tobacco was a health risk and that his company
