双语：另类寻真爱 纽约男贴海报求相亲

Lonely New Yorker Dan Perino got so tired of traditional dating methods that he’s trying something new and unconventional in order to find love. He’s plastering posters of himself all over Manhattan in a bid to find the woman of his dreams.
　　一名孤独的纽约人丹·佩里诺厌倦了传统的相亲方式，他正在尝试用一种新的、非常规的方式寻找真爱。为了寻找到自己的梦中情人，他在曼哈顿的街头处处张贴自己的海报。

It might sound desperate, but he insists that he’s not. The 50-year-old simply believes that it’s a better way of meeting women. The black-and-white posters consist of a large photograph of Dan, with the words ‘Looking for a Girlfriend’ below. He’s currently pasting them all over the city – on post boxes, lamp posts, and parking meters.
　　听上去他好像已经不顾一切了，但他坚称自己不是。这名50岁的男子单纯觉得这样的方式可以让他遇到更好的对象。这些黑白海报上印有一大幅丹的照片，照片下写着“寻女友”的字样。现在，他正走街串巷到处张贴自己的海报，不管是在邮箱上、电灯杆上还是停车计时器上。

Dan claims that he received hundreds of calls only a few hours after the fliers went up. Some women were genuinely interested, while others thought the posters were a joke. As strange as it sounds, the posters idea seems to have worked – Dan already has one date set up.
　　丹说自己在几个小时内就收到了上百个电话。一些女子是真的对他感兴趣，其他则觉得这只是个笑话。虽然听上去很奇怪，但海报这个主意真的有效。丹已经定好了一次约会。

His needs are quite simple – “I’m looking for an average woman that likes to do the same things that I do,” he said. “I want to find a more meaningful relationship.”
　　他的要求很简单：“我希望找到一个和我有相同爱好的普通女子。我希望找到一段更有意义的爱情。”

People’s reactions to Dan’s initiative have been mixed. Some think he’s crazy, while others believe he might be on to something. But Dan is quite confident that he won’t be single much longer. “Within a week, I’ll have a girlfriend,” he asserted.
　　人们对此观点不同。有人觉得他疯了，有人则认为他也许会有个好结果。不管怎样，丹很确信自己不用很久就可以告别单身了。他宣称，“一个星期之内，我就会有女友了。”
