This year, July 31 is Chinese Valentine's Day, and I think it'll be great to celebrate it on the Magpie Bridge in Dong-Shan River Water Park.
今年的七月三十一日是七夕情人節，我覺得去冬山河親水公園的鵲橋上慶祝應該會很棒。
【換句話說】
Chinese Valentine's Day is on July 31 this year. I think whooping it up on the Magpie Bridge in Dong-Shan River Water Park will be a great way to celebrate.

其實說起來有點諷刺，因為這一天本來是關於一對情人一年只能見一次面的悲慘故事。
【換句話說】

不過，這一天已經變成新的台灣情人節，因為大家都把這天當作浪漫的日子來慶祝。
