One Los Angeles woman didn't have to hold her breath while she waited for her girlfriend to answer her marriage proposal - but that's because she had her scuba diving equipment there to supply her with oxygen.
洛杉磯一位姑娘等待女友答應(yīng)她的求婚時(shí)不需要屏住呼吸，但這是因?yàn)樗兴螡撍b備給自己供氧。

Markie Miller, 28, popped the question to Sarah Hu, 27, underwater, bringing along romantic signs so she could ask her girlfriend to marry her in the Atlantic Ocean.
28歲的瑪基·米勒（Markie Miller）在水下向27歲的女友薩拉·胡（Sarah Hu）求婚，她還隨身帶了一些浪漫的字牌幫助自己在大西洋“問(wèn)”女友愿不愿意和她結(jié)婚。

But while Sarah is an avid scuba diver and marine biologist, Markie, who works in film, told BuzzFeed that she didn't know a thing about diving - so she had to get secretly certified to pull off the unique proposal.
在接受BuzzFeed網(wǎng)站采訪時(shí)瑪基表示，她的女友薩拉是一名狂熱的水肺潛水愛(ài)好者、海洋生物學(xué)家，而她則從事電影行業(yè)，之前對(duì)潛水一無(wú)所知，因此她必須悄悄地考到潛水資格證才能完成這個(gè)獨(dú)特的求婚。

The California couple had been together for six and a half years when Markie asked Sarah to be her wife.
瑪基終于向薩拉求婚時(shí)，這對(duì)加州情侶在一起已經(jīng)有六年半的時(shí)間了。

Markie had been planning to learn to scuba dive for a while in order to join Sarah, who had been doing it for eight years, on a dive, but she just hadn't gotten around to it yet.
為了能和有八年潛水經(jīng)驗(yàn)的薩拉一起潛水，瑪基計(jì)劃學(xué)習(xí)水肺潛水很久了，但一直沒(méi)能抽出時(shí)間。

That is, until she had her brilliant proposal idea. But Markie still wanted it to be a surprise, so she secretly attended classes to get her certification. She would leave all of her equipment at a friend's house, pick it up before class, and head back there to shower before going home.
直到她想到這個(gè)絕佳的求婚計(jì)劃。但因?yàn)楝敾Ｍo女友一個(gè)驚喜，所以她偷偷地報(bào)班學(xué)習(xí)以考取潛水資格證。在這期間，她將全部潛水設(shè)備都放到一個(gè)朋友家，上課前去取，回家前再到朋友家沖澡。

Sarah is used to Markie working long hours on short notice, so she wasn't at all suspicious of her suddenly busy schedule.
薩拉已經(jīng)習(xí)慣了瑪基總是臨時(shí)加班，因此對(duì)于瑪基突然忙碌的日程沒(méi)有產(chǎn)生一絲懷疑。

Then, on June 13, Sarah was set to go for a dive at LA's Redondo Beach with her brother and some friends.
于是到了6月13日這一天，薩拉準(zhǔn)備和哥哥還有一些朋友去洛杉磯雷東多海灘（Redondo Beach）潛水。

She had no idea that Markie was already there, prepared to give her the surprise of her life.
她完全沒(méi)想到瑪基已經(jīng)在那里等候多時(shí)，準(zhǔn)備給她人生中最大的驚喜。

'I was nervous that it wouldn’t work out exactly as planned, but I tried to be calm and be ready for anything,' Markie said.
瑪基說(shuō)：“我很緊張，害怕事情不會(huì)按照計(jì)劃進(jìn)行，但我盡力保持冷靜，準(zhǔn)備好應(yīng)對(duì)任何意外狀況。”

When Sarah was 20ft underwater, Markie - unrecognizable under all of her gear - swam up to her and held up set of signs that read: 'I told you I’d go to the bottom of the ocean for your love… but right now I’m only certified to 60 feet. Will you marry me?'
當(dāng)薩拉潛到水下20英尺深的時(shí)候，全副武裝的瑪基向她游過(guò)來(lái)，薩拉完全沒(méi)有認(rèn)出，瑪基手中拿著一些牌子，上面寫著：“我說(shuō)過(guò)為了你的愛(ài)我愿意深潛海底，但我現(xiàn)在只能下潛到60英尺，你愿意嫁給我嗎？”

Sarah, clearly ecstatic, held her hand up to her face and nodded her head. The two embraced before swimming back up to the surface, where a giddy Sarah chastised her brother for not following safety protocol - which mandates that everyone diving know the plan before the dive.
薩拉顯然欣喜若狂，將她的手放到自己臉上并點(diǎn)了頭。兩人深情相擁，游回水面后，興奮的薩拉責(zé)怪哥哥沒(méi)有遵守安全協(xié)議。安全協(xié)議規(guī)定所有人在下水前都需要知道潛水計(jì)劃。

She said: 'It wasn't in my dive plan to surface with a fiancé!'
她表示：“我的潛水計(jì)劃里可沒(méi)有帶著未婚妻浮上水面這一項(xiàng)！”

'I was so blown away by how Markie was even underwater and how my brother and some of my best friends were also witnessing this!' said Sarah. 'It was an amazing surprise. I am still as surprised that she can dive as I am that I am engaged!”
薩拉說(shuō)：“我簡(jiǎn)直驚呆了，瑪基居然潛在水下，而我的哥哥以及我其他的一些好友也見(jiàn)證了整個(gè)求婚過(guò)程。這個(gè)驚喜實(shí)在太棒了，我還沒(méi)有緩過(guò)來(lái)，瑪基竟然可以潛水了和我居然訂婚了同樣讓我驚訝！”

Once they were back on solid ground, Markie went down on one knee and gave Sarah a ring.
她們一回到陸地，瑪基便單膝跪下給薩拉戴上了戒指。

The U.S. Supreme Court legalised nationwide marriage equality for same-sex couples just two weeks later.
美國(guó)最高法院在兩周后就宣布了全國(guó)范圍同性戀婚姻的合法化。

The gorgeous couple plan to get married next year.
這對(duì)讓人羨慕的情侶計(jì)劃于明年結(jié)婚。
