概述:
里奇不僅不是華人,而且他還比我小幾歲。更糟的是,由于他那頭紅色的卷發(fā)、光潔白晰的皮膚以及鼻子兩邊一片桔黃色的雀斑,他看上去比我年輕了很多。。。
Hints:
Rich
I tried to anticipate what criticisms she would have.
Rich was not only not Chinese, he was also my junior, a few years younger than I was. And unfortunately, he looked much younger with his curly red hair, smooth pale skin, and the splash of orange freckles across his nose. He was a bit on the short side, compactly built. In his dark business suits, he looked nice but easily forgettable, like somebody's nephew at a funeral. This was why I didn't notice him the first year we worked together at the firm. But, my mother noticed everything.
"So what do you think of Rich?" I finally asked, holding my breath.
我盡力設(shè)想她會有哪些不滿意的地方。
里奇不僅不是華人,而且他還比我小幾歲。更糟的是,由于他那頭紅色的卷發(fā)、光潔白晰的皮膚以及鼻子兩邊一片桔黃色的雀斑,他看上去比我年輕了很多。他稍微矮了一點(diǎn),長得很結(jié)實(shí)。他身穿深色套裝,看上去討人喜歡,但讓人過眼就忘,就像追悼會上遇見的某個人的侄子。這就是為什么我們在公司里一起工作的第一年里我沒有注意到他的原因。但是我媽媽卻把一切都看在了眼里。
“你認(rèn)為里奇怎么樣?”終于,我屏住呼吸問道。
