1. We've been going out for quite some time now.

  This is said as aprecursorto something else.It can be a good warm up sentence to tell your partner that you're madly in love with them.

  "Precursor1"是"前兆"的意思.这可是一个很好的热身句子哦.你可以它用来告诉你的同伴你正发狂地爱着他/她.

  2. I think we have something really special.

  "Something special" refers to a special relationship or feelings.You would only say this to a girlfriend/boyfriend, not to a platonic2 friend.

  "something special"指的是特殊的关系或感觉.你只能说给女朋友或男朋友听,而不是一个一般的朋友.

  3. I want to settle down.

  Your "soul-mate" is someone that you have a deep and intimate friendship with.A soul-mate is also a lover, someone that you have a strong emotional or spiritual bond with.

  5. I'm ready for a life-long commitment.

  "A life-long commitment" means that you want to spend the rest of your life with someone.Pretty serious, huh?

  “A life-long commitment”,说出这句话,可就意味着你打算与某人相伴共度余生。相当严肃和认真,是不是?真是不能乱说。

  6. Let's tie the knot!

  Alternative sentence: "Let's get hitch3!"Both of these sentences are light hearted and humorous ways to suggest marriage.Of course, the traditional way to "pop the question" is to ask "will you marry me?"

  这句话可以换一种表达方法:“Let's get hitch!”这两句话都是用一种轻松幽默的方式去建议结婚。当然啦,用传统的方式去“pop the question”你可以说“Will you marry me?”(你愿意和我结婚吗?)
