I was tired of being single. All of my friends had paired up and I was left hanging. Like everybody else these days, I tried using the Internet to find other singles, but I never had any luck. Cruising for my ideal woman among a bunch of lonely hearts is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I needed another strategy.
我厌倦了单身生活。我所有的朋友都出双入对，只有我被晾在一边。这些天，我跟其他单身男女一样，努力在网上寻找其他单身人士，但我从来没有桃花运。在一群孤独的人中寻找理想型无异于大海捞针。我需要转变策略。
I finally hit on a brilliant idea. I would find places where single women naturally congregate and simply show up. It may turn out to be a wild goose chase, but I was willing to give it a shot.
我终于想到一个好主意。我会去那些单身女性常聚集的或者出现的场所蹲守。虽然这法子可能徒劳无益，但我愿意“背水一战。
所以我决定去社区中心上一门珠宝制作课。虽然我对这方面知之甚少，但我知道女人和珠宝总是”形影不离“的。
I got to the class a few minutes late so I could make a grand entrance. But when I walked in, I got the shock of my life. The room was full of single women all right, but not one of them was under the age of 70!
我上课迟到了几分钟，所以我大摇大摆地进入教室。但是当我走进教室的时候，我震惊了。教室里虽说都是单身女性，但没有一个年龄在70岁以下的!
They were definitely glad to see me. I even received a couple of invitations to dinner that day. But to be honest, that wasn’t the kind of dinner date I had been looking for!
她们见到我肯定高兴坏了。那天我甚至还收到了几份晚餐邀约。但说实话，那不是我一直梦寐以求的晚餐约会!
