B. More than just good friends. (Còn hơn cả bạn bè tốt)
I fell madly in love with Anton from the moment I met him. It
was certainly love at first sight. I knew at once that he was the
love of my life but at first I was not sure if my love was returned
or not. Within a few days, however, he had told me that he was
desperately in love with me too. A couple of weeks later, we
realized that we wanted to make a commitment to each other
and, when Anton asked me to marry him, I immediately accepted
his proposal. I'm sure we will always love each other
unconditionally. Neither of us would ever consider having an
affair with someone else.
- fall madly in love with : yêu điên cuồng, say đắm, không thay
đổi
- love at first sight : ái tình sét đánh (tức là mối tình mới gặp đã
yêu)

- the love of one's life : người tình của đời một ai đó
- love is / were returned : tình cảm được đáp lại (tức là người
mình yêu thích cũng yêu thích mình)
- desperately in love : rất yêu
- make a commitment : hứa hẹn
- accept one's proposal : chấp nhận lời đề nghị của ai (ở đây là
chấp nhận lời cầu hôn)
- love each other unconditionally : yêu nhau vô điều kiện
- have an affair (with someone) : ngoại tình
