{译介} ON SEEING THE 100% PERFECT GIRL ONE BEAUTIFUL APRIL MORNING(2)
也许你有自己特别喜欢的女孩类型 - 一个有着纤细的脚踝,比如说,大眼睛,或者纤长的手指,或者你没有任何理由吸引每个用餐时间的女孩。当然,我有自己的偏好。有时在一家餐馆,我会发现自己正盯着领桌的女孩,因为我喜欢她鼻子的形状。
But no one can insist that his 100% perfect girl correspond to some preconceived type. Much as I like noses, I can’t recall the shape of hers - or even if she had one. All I can remember for sure is that she was no great beauty. It’s weird.
但没有人能坚持认为他100%完美的女孩对应于一些先入为主的类型。就像我喜欢鼻子一样,我不记得她的形状 - 或者即使她有一个。我可以肯定的是,她并不是一个很漂亮的人。有点奇怪。
“Yesterday on the street I passed the 100% girl,” I tell someone.
“昨天在街上我遇见了100%的女孩,”我告诉某人。
“Yeah?” he says. “Good-looking?”
“真的?”他说。“好看吗?”
“Not really.”
“并没有。”
“Your favorite type, then?”
“你喜欢的类型,然后呢?”
“I don’t know. I can’t seem to remember anything about her - the shape of her eyes or the size of her breasts.”
“我不清楚。我好像没法记住关于她的任何事情-她眼睛的形状或乳房的大小。”
“Strange.”
“奇怪。”
“Yeah. Strange.”
“是啊。奇怪。”
“So anyhow,” he says, already bored, “what did you do? Talk to her? Follow her?”
“所以,不管怎样,”他说,话题已经变得无聊了,“你干什么了呢?向她搭讪?跟着她?”
“Nah. Just passed her on the street.”
“没有。就是跟她在街上擦肩而过。”
She’s walking east to west, and I west to east. It’s a really nice April morning.
她由西向东走,我向西走。那是个很棒的四月的早晨。
