Optimal proposal point

婚点

(hūndiǎn)

 

A: Hi, my girlfriend and I are going to get married next month.

嗨,我跟我女朋友下个月要结婚了。

(hāi,wǒ ɡēn wǒ nǚpénɡyou xiàɡeyuè yào jiéhūn le.)

 

B: Really? How long have you been together? A month! Are you sure that she is the one for you?

真的？ 你们在一起多久了？一个月！ 你确定就是她了吗？

(zhēnde? nǐmen zài yìqǐ duójiǔ le? yíɡeyuè！ nǐ quèdìnɡ jiùshì tā le ma?)

 

A: I don't know. I guess it is the optimal proposal point. If I don't get married now, I never will.

我不知道。我猜这就是婚点了吧。现在不结,就永远不会结了。

(wǒ bù zhīdào. wǒ cāi zhè jiùshì hūndiǎn le ba. xiànzài bùjié, jiù yǒnɡyuǎn búhuì jié le.)
