He met her on a party. She was so outstanding, many guys chasing after her, while he was so normal, nobody paid attention to him.
在一次聚会上，他遇见了她。她是那么光彩照人，小伙子们趋之若鹜，而他却非常平常，没人注意到他。
At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him, she was surprised, but due to being polite, she promised.
聚会结束后，他邀她一起去喝咖啡，她感到惊讶，但出于礼貌，她答应了。他们坐在一家上好的咖啡店。
They sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable, she thought, please, let me go home...
他神情非常紧张，有点不知所云；她也感觉到颇不自在。她想，请让我回家吧……
suddenly he asked the waiter: "would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee."
“请给我来一点盐吧？我想在咖啡里加一点。”他突然问侍者。
Everybody stared at him, so strange! His face turned red, but, still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it.
所有的人都齐刷刷地盯着他，这人多么奇怪！他的脸变得通红。不过，他还是把盐放进了他的咖啡，把它喝了。
She asked him curiously: why you have this hobby? He replied: "when I was a little boy, I was living near the sea, I liked playing in the sea, I could feel the taste of the sea , just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, always think of my childhood, think of my hometown, I miss my hometown so much, I miss my parents who are still living there".
While saying that tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched. That's his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart. A man who can tell out his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares about home, has responsibility of home..
当他说着这一切的时候，泪水盈眶，她深受感动。

一个人能够说出他的思乡之情，那他肯定是个爱家、顾家、对家庭负责的人。
Then she also started to speak, spoke about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning of their story.
这时候，她也开始说话了，说起了她那遥远的故乡，她的童年，她的家。那是一次非常美妙的交谈，也是他们的爱情故事一个美好的开端。
They continued to date. She found that actually he was a man who meets all her demands; he had tolerance, was kind hearted, warm, careful. He was such a good person but she almost missed him!
Thanks to his salty coffee! Then the story was just like every beautiful love story, the princess married to the prince, then they were living the happy life...And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee, as she knew that's the way he liked it.
After 40 years, he passed away, left her a letter which said:
四十年过去了，他离开了人世，生前给她留下了一封信：
"My dearest, please forgive me, forgive my whole life lie. This was the only lie I said to you---the salty coffee. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time, actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salt. It was hard for me to change so I just went ahead. I never thought that could be the start of our communication! I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was too afraid to do that, as I have promised not to lie to you for anything.. Now I'm dying, I'm afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth: I don't like the salty coffee, what a strange bad taste.. But I have had the salty coffee for my whole life! Since I knew you, I never feel sorry for anything I do for you. Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life. If I can live for the second time, still want to know you and have you for my whole life, even though I have to drink the salty coffee again".
IT's a moving story。if i am the girl，i also think the salty coffee is sweet than the sugar.i am eager to become the girl.she is just about happiest guy in the world.作者: blueskywhy 时间: 2011-8-30 15:00
那是他发自内心的真实感觉。
Not all lies are bad. Sometimes they are good and they can bring astonishing circumstances. If someone falls love with somebody ,he can use different ways to express his love.作者: captinjack 时间: 2011-9-3 22:36
