我向萨拉求婚时，我做的是和平常一样的事情。我们一直在谈结婚这件事。首先，我请她的父母同意我们结婚，并请他们祝福我们。当然，他们说好！

Usually, a man will give a woman an engagement ring for her to wear on her finger. It is a symbol of a man and a woman's promise to marry. So, I started saving money to buy the engagement ring. After I had saved enough money, I decided that it was finally time to ask Sara to marry me.

通常，男性求婚时会给女性一枚订婚戒指，然后帮她戴在手上。这代表一名男性和一名女性的结婚承诺。所以，为了买订婚戒指我开始存钱。我存够钱以后，我决定这就是我向萨拉求婚的时刻。
