...(第十九章,主人公與伊麗莎白晚飯後的一個情節)
I could, of course, call a taxi for her, and that's what a real gentleman would do--or a limp-dicked, half-wit poor excuse of a man. So I said, "Let's stay here." 我當然可以給她叫輛車的,這是君子所為,這或許是一個陽痿加白癡男的想法?所以我說:“咱們留下吧。”
"That's a good idea." She finished her wine, stood, and said, "I need to shower."
I, too, stood and watched her walk, a little unsteadily, into the foyer.
I wasn't sure if I was supposed to follow. "Dear Ms. Post--"
"Dear COLI, just XXX her already."“好主意”她幹了杯中酒,站起來說:“我想衝個澡。”
我也想。我看著她踩著醉步往門廳走去。
我不知道是否該跟上。“親愛的Post太太--”
“親愛的Coli剛剛把她XXX了”
"Right." I moved toward the foyer, then hesitated. I seemed to recall that I'd already decided that Elizabeth was emotionally distraught and vulnerable, and I should not take advantage of that. On a more selfish level, I didn't want to complicate my life at this time. And Elizabeth Allard Corbet would be a major complication. “對” 我猶豫不決地走向門廳。我好像記得我已斷定伊麗莎白情緒變得煩亂又脆弱,我可不能乘人之危。退一步自私點說我不想若麻煩,伊麗莎白於我來說將會是個麻煩。
On the other hand...I mean, this was her idea.
My head said no, my heart said maybe, and my。。。另一方麵,我意思是說這可是她的注意呀。我的頭說不而我的心說也許。。。
