阅读下面的短文，判断正（T）误（F）。

I was on the train，on my way home，when I saw Jennifer sitting in the same carriage．My first thought was“It's her”．It was the girl I used to see every day in the library when we were at university．Often I couldn't concentrate on my work when she was sitting so close to me，but in fact，we never spoke once，all the time we were there．And now，eight years later，here she was．

So I walked up to her and said，“We've met before，haven't we？Weren't you at Durham University？”Not a great line，I know，but it broke the ice，and we talked for the rest of the journey．

We got off the train at the same station，she said goodbye and disappeared．I was kicking myself for not getting her telephone number．But then，thank goodness，she came back and said she had to wait on the same platform for her next train．We continued talking，but when her train arrived，I realized I still didn't have her number．This was my last chance．I pushed a pen at her and she wrote her number on a piece of paper just as the train pulled out．

I got home and the first thing I said to my roommate was：“Do you remember that girl I couldn't stop talking about at university？”And he said，“Oh，no…yes，of course I remember…”I then talked about her non-stop for an hour．Finally，I phoned her later that evening and we decided to meet the next day．

Six months later we went to Australia and worked together for a year．When we came back，we got married．It's the only thing in my life I've ever felt completely certain about．

参考译文

当我正坐着火车回家时，我看见詹尼弗也在这节车厢里。我的第一反应就是“是她”。她是我上大学时每天在图书馆里都能碰到的那个女孩。当她和我坐得很近时，我常常无法把注意力集中到学习上，实际上，尽管我们一直去那里，我们却从未说过话。而现在，8年过去了，她居然出现了。

于是我走过去说：“我们以前见过，对吧？你不是上的达勒姆大学吗？”我知道，这句话并不精彩，但足以打破沉默，在接下来的时间里，我们聊了起来。

我们在同一站下了车，她说声再见就消失了。我为没有要她的电话号码而懊丧不已。可后来，谢天谢地，她又回来了，她说她得在这个站台等下一趟列车。我们继续聊起来，当她的火车到达时，我想起还未要她的电话号码。这是我最后的机会。我把钢笔递给她，她把号码写在一张纸上，这时，火车马上就要启动了。

一到家，我立刻问室友：“你还记得上大学时我不停念叨的那个女孩吗？”他说：“嗯，不记得……想起来了，我当然记得……”于是我滔滔不绝地谈论了她一个小时。后来，我终于在那晚打了电话，我们约定第二天见面。

6个月后，我们一起去澳大利亚工作，为期一年。回来时，我们结了婚。我觉得，这是我一生中唯一一件处理果断的事情。
