英语翻译
A
I was in a rush as always,but this time it was for an important date I just couldn’t be late for I found myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman seemingly in no hurry as she paid for her groceries.A PhD student with not a lot of money,I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers.I was in a huge rush,thinking of my upcoming evening.I did not want to be late for this date.
We were in Boston,a place not always known for small conversation between strangers.The woman stopped unloading her basket and looked up at me .She smiled.It was a nice smile-warm and reassuring-and I retuned her gift by smiling back.
“Must be a special lady,whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers.”she said.
“Yes,she’s special,” I said ,and then to my embarrassment ,the words kept coming out .“It‘s only our second date,but somehow I am just having the feeling she’s‘the one ,’”jokingly,I added,“The only problem is that I can’t figure out why she’d want to date a guy like me.”
“Well,I think she’s very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously in love with her,” the woman said .”My husband used to bring me flowers every week-even when tines were tough and we didn’t have much money.Those were incredible days; be was very romantic and-lf course- I miss him since he’s passed away.”
I paid for my flowers as se was gathering up her groceries.There was no doubt in my mind as I walked up to her .I touched her on the shoulder and said “You were right ,you know.These flowers are indeed for a very special lady.” I handed her the flowers and thanked her for such a mice conversation.
It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just purchased.“You have a wonderful evening,” I said.I left her with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her smelling the beautiful flowers.
I remember being slightly late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the above story.A couple of years later,when I finally worked up the courage to ask her to marry me,she told me that this story had helped to seal it for her-that was the night than I won her heart .

我正如以往的匆忙,但是那次是因为一个不可迟到的非常重要的约会.在付款处的柜台,我发现我自己排在一个为杂货付钱而一点都不赶时间的年迈女人后面.作为一个没有多少钱的哲学博士学生,我已经是迅速地进商店挑选一些花.我当时是非常赶时间的,只想着我即将来临的晚上.我不想在这次约会中迟到.
我们在波士顿,那是陌生人之间短对话并不常见的一个地方.那个女人停止把篮子里的杂货放上柜台反而看了我.她微笑了.那是一个友好的能融化人心的微笑,我以微笑还她.
“收到这些美丽的花的一定是一个特别的女生.”她说.
“是的,她很特别.”我说,然后我陷入害羞状态,那句话脱口而出.我开玩笑地说：“这是我们的第二次约会,但是不知何故,我有一种她是唯一的感觉.”我补充道：“唯一的问题是我不能理解为什么她想要约会一个像我这样的男人.”
“嗯,我认为她能有一个送她这么可爱的花以及明显地爱着她的男人是很幸运的.”那女人说.“以前我的丈夫经常是每个星期都送花给我甚至当tines were tough而且我们当时没有很多钱.那是不可思议以及非常浪漫的日子.当然,我怀念他,自从他离世之后.”
在她捡她的杂货（到柜台）的时候我付了花的钱.在我走向她的时候,我的心里面没有任何疑问.我碰了她的肩并说：“你是对的,你知道吗.这些花确实是为了一个特别的女士.”我把花递给她并为了这个愉快地对话向她道谢.
过了一会儿她才意识到我是给了她我那刚买的花.“祝你有个绝妙的晚上.”我说.我带着一个大大的微笑离开她,我的心被温暖了当我看到她闻着美丽的花的时候.
我记得我在那个晚上的约会中稍微迟了,我告诉我的女友上面的这件事.几年之后,当我终于鼓起勇气向她求婚的时候,她告诉我这件事帮她做了决定,那就是我赢了她的心的晚上.
第5段的那个“tines were tough”无法理解,有打错字吗?
