when the time came to pick it up, however, i grew skeptical. how could i have been so foolish as to just leave a $1,200 wedding dress in the hands of someone i barely knew? what if she made a mess out of it? i had no idea if she could even sew on a button.

该去取衣服了，我却忐忑不安起来。我怎么这么愚蠢，将一件价值1200美元的礼服交到一个一点儿也不了解的人手里？如果她改坏了怎么办？我甚至不知道她会不会缝扣子。

thank goodness my fears were all for naught. the dress still looked exactly the same, but it now fit as if it had been made especially for me. i thanked the cheerful lady and paid her modest fee.

谢天谢地，我的担心都是多余的。礼服仍跟以前一样，不过现在我穿上正合适，仿佛它是为我度身定造的一样。我谢过那个高兴的女裁缝，并付了钱。

one small problem solved just in time for a bigger one to emerge. on valentine's day, my fiance called.

然而这只是解决了一个小问题，更大的问题在后面。情人节那天，未婚夫打来电话。

“sandy, i've come to the decision that i'm not ready to get married,” he announced, none too gently. “i want to travel and experience life for a few years before settling down.”

“sandy，我决定了，我还没有对婚姻做好准备，”他宣布，语气一点也不温柔。“在成家之前，我要到各处走走，享受几年生活。

he apologized for the inconvenience of leaving all the wedding cancellations to me and then quickly left town.

他对把取消婚礼的所有麻烦留给我表示歉意，然后很快离开了这个城镇。
