女人的弱点(5)

在学校的功课让我倍感无聊，由于我的同学大都智力低下、他们中的极少数人把心思放在学习上，老师即便满腹经纶也难于把他们身上的东西灌输给学生，我只需要花一半精力就能轻而易举地掌握老师教的内容，因此我有充裕的时间搞我的学术研究。爸爸作为一名经验丰富的科学家和一个久经世故的长辈经常告诫我比起读万卷书更重要的是行万里路，所以我经常跑遍满城的名牌大学听讲座，我的故事也从这里开始。一次我去南京大学出席一名外籍教授讲座的时候，我邂逅了汉娜——一位数学系的女本科生，我当时坐在第五排，她比我靠前一排，刚开始因为我全神贯注于教授所讲的内容，所以没太注意到她，可是当她在提问环节举手并用一口蹩脚的英语向教授提问、当教授一脸茫然时她左顾右盼寻找帮手的时候，我自告奋勇地在她和教授之间充当起了沟通者的角色，在这种情况下我们彼此认识了对方。
I focused on her appearance, and found she was a tall, lean girl with long, dark hair. Her features were as well-proportioned as the structure of a Beethoven’s symphony. A flaxen silk dress made her more of a glamorous Venus than those hot movie stars on the screen. A pair of glasses on her nose showed me more of urbanity than pedantry. I even had a thought, as a Chinese old saying goes “love me, love my dog”, that her study was scarcely any worse than her looks. As I was the person she should be grateful to, she took initiative to chat with me.
