THE PROBLEM 问题
I work for a small consultancy and over the past two years have fallen in love with someone senior to me. We are close friends and socialize and though I ve never said anything, I think she knows how I feel. Sometimes I get mixed signals that may indicate she feels for me too. The rational part of me thinks of resigning so she is not compromised by my feelings (which have been noticed by colleagues). The fantastical side hopes that if I resign, I d be able to ask her out. Any suggestions?
我在一家小型咨询公司工作。过去两年里,我喜欢上了一个职位比我高的人。我们是亲密的朋友,也有所交往。尽管我从没说过什么,但我想她知道我对她的感觉。有时我会接收到一些含混不清的信号,让我觉的她可能也对我有意思。理性的我考虑辞职,以免她因为我的感情(同事们已经看出来了)而受到伤害。而不切实际的我则幻想着,如果我辞职,就能够约她出去了。你有什么建议吗?

If you were a suitor in a fairy tale who had been set three tests to prove your love, you would certainly win your prize.
如果你是童话故事里的追求者,需要接受三个考验,以证明你的爱情,你肯定会赢得奖品。
You have loved this princess doggedly for two years. You are so worried about protecting her reputation that you are ready to give up your job in the deepest recession of your lifetime. And your most secret fantasy is not of ravishing her but of simply being able to ask her out.
两年来你坚定地爱着这位公主。你一心想着保护她的声誉,甚至准备辞去工作,哪怕你正面对这一辈子最严重的经济衰退。你内心最隐秘的幻想不是让她迷上你,而只是能够与她约会。
One doesn t get much more chivalrous than that.
