In Western culture, an engagement begins with "yes" to a simple question; "Will you marry me?" These heart-stopping words often come with a beautiful diamond ring. The man making the proposal may get down on one knee. In fact, men have relied on this simple, romantic method of proposing marriage for years.
Today, this is no longer true for everyone. Consider how Justin Firestone proposed to Natalie Abreu. The couple took a helicopter tour over the black sands of Honomanu Bay, Hawaii. Suddenly Abreu saw "Will you marry me, Natalie?" spelled out below with coconuts. Her answer was an astonished " Yes!"
Firestone’s proposal took weeks of planning and help from a professional. But for men like him, the effort put into the proposal was worth it. Many guys want to show how serious they are about marriage through an impressive proposal. Some even want to give their future brides something
to brag about
.
Public proposals—at sports games, concerts and other events—are common. But some men don’t settle for their proposal scrolling(滚动) across a big screen before thousands. Millions saw Joe Uva’s proposal on a reality TV show. His girlfriend, Laura O’ Donnell, walked into an office and saw friends and family holding flowers. With the cameras rolling, Uva walked out from among them to propose. O’ Donnell said yes, to the relief of Uva and his audience.
Other men have chosen proposals that reflect the couple’s unique relationship. Such proposals take place at a favorite restaurant or involve a shared hobby. Bernie Peng, for example, programs video games, and Tammy Li enjoys playing them. When Peng proposed to Li, he made a small change in her favorite game. When she played it, a ring and marriage proposal appeared. They recently got married!
These men were confident they would get the answer they wanted. But that’s not the point: Creative proposals leave memories to be cherished.
What does "to brag about" (Para. 3) probably mean?
选项
A、To talk about with pride.
B、To remember someone.
C、To think about seriously.
D、To look around carefully.
答案
A
解析
第三段。词义猜测题。由第三段可知有的人是在公众场合求婚,有的人不满足于千百的观众,是在百万的电视观众前求婚,后面说是为了让人印象深刻,最后说甚至是为了怎么样,说明最后一种的求婚应该是比前两种更令人印象深刻,或更夸张的方式。A选项骄傲地谈论,符合题意。brag out为吹嘘的意思。
