一封特殊的“求职信”

一个家伙给他的暗恋的人发了一封“求职信”，完全搞定了

Finding a romantic partner requires some serious hard work and takes a sizeable time investment. So plenty of people have turned to online dating apps like Tinder to make the process a little bit easier. And I’m sure that most of us know at least one friend who found true love on the app.

找到一个浪漫的伴侣需要一些认真的努力和大量的时间投资。所以很多人求助于像Tinder这样的在线约会应用程序，让这个过程变得简单一些。我相信我们大多数人都知道至少有一个朋友在这款应用上找到了真爱。

Because Tinder has become so popular, it’s getting harder and harder to get somebody’s attention. After all, how original can you be if every idea you can come up with has been done a hundred times before? But some people go the extra mile in their attempts to woo strangers. Take this one guy for example who decided to send out a dating ‘cover letter’ to a girl named Claire. Needless to say, the girl was impressed by his wit and candor. We can only hope that the pair had a successful first date and that everything’s going swimmingly for them.

因为Tinder变得如此受欢迎，想要引起别人的注意变得越来越难。毕竟，如果你能想到的每一个点子之前都被做过上百次，你还能有多大的独创性呢?但是有些人会在追求陌生人的过程中走得更远。以这个男人为例，他决定给一个叫克莱尔的女孩发送一封约会“求职信”。不用说，这个女孩对他的机智和坦率印象深刻。我们只能希望这对情侣有一个成功的第一次约会，一切顺利。

What prompted the guy to joke about whether he should send her a CV or a cover letter was Claire’s bio which read “ it’s a bio, not a CV.” Claire showed that she had a good sense of humor as well when she posted a ‘job description’ and all the ‘responsibilities’ that come with dating her. That’s when the guy sent her the cover letter which was brutally honest about his pros and cons.

克莱尔的简历上写着:“这是简历，又不是简历。“克莱尔在网上发布了一份‘工作描述’和约会时的所有‘职责’，这表明她也很有幽默感。”就在那时，那个家伙给她发了一封求职信，信中直言不讳地指出了他的优缺点。

In case you need some help with your Tinder game, Cosmopolitan has a whole host of handy tips to get noticed. According to the magazine, you should consider making the first move even if you’re not used to doing that in real life. What’s more, you should put on a genuine smile in your photos. Oh, and you should probably wear some bright colors in your photos because the vast majority of people don’t do that. And finally, try to be original with your bio and when you message others. Because others want to see the real you, not a censored version of reality.

如果你在Tinder游戏中需要一些帮助，《Cosmopolitan》提供了一大堆有用的技巧来吸引你的注意。据该杂志称，即使你不习惯在现实生活中这样做，你也应该考虑迈出第一步。更重要的是，你应该在你的照片上露出真诚的微笑。哦，你应该在你的照片上穿一些明亮的颜色，因为绝大多数人不这样做。最后，当你给别人发信息时，尽量保持你的简历的原创性。因为别人想看到真实的你，而不是经过审查的真实版本。

What do you think about online dating in general? Do you think it takes all the romance out of dating or has it become an inseparable part of modern life?
