【正文】 ipecac（吐根，催吐劑） if anybody drinks the juice glasses. How do I look? Do I look okay? Do I look all right? I look stupid. I look like I‘m tryin‘(設(shè)法 ) too hard. I was gonna get a haircut, but then I‘d look like I got one. This is a good letter. The heels on these shoes are grotesque（ v:奇形怪狀的 ，可笑的； n:奇異風(fēng)格） . Look like I‘m tryin‘ to be tall. Blah(俚語(yǔ)：廢話 ) I‘ve been an excellent third baseman for as long as I remember（只要我記得） and while we‘re on the subject. He was the best third baseman（三 壘手） ever. It‘s important you agree with me, because I‘m from Baltimore. Everyone thinks he‘s the greatest. It‘s a sign. I‘ll show you a sign. Here‘s a sign. It‘s right there. There‘s like 26 states between here and there（從此地到彼地） . I‘m outta（ =out of） here. Did you move your car? I‘ll have white wine(白葡萄酒 ). You look good（你看上去真不錯(cuò)） . You look good yourself. I thought you were gonna call me. You did? But I really wanted you to, and I thought you were never going to. There‘ a phone call for you. Dad, can we go to new york city for Valentine‘s day? Have you fallen down? Are you bleeding? Has she been strangled（掐死， 把掐死，勒死， 抑制） ? So this is the only reason for this phone call? If we book now, we can get an excursion fare（旅游票價(jià) ） . He is travel agents（旅行社，旅行社代理人） . I‘m not going to have this conversation now. we‘ll talk about it at a later time. I can‘t believe this conversation has lasted this long(這樣久 ). You go to bed. Everything all right? Do you have kids? I will have an Absolut（絕對(duì)伏特加） straight up（直率的，真實(shí)的；（酒）不加冰塊的） . Put that down. There she is. Why is she bringing those groceries（雜貨，食品，生活用品） ? She‘s cooking for us, so be prepared（所以要準(zhǔn)備好） . The car‘s down this way. She‘s on her sixth painter and we‘re never gonna finish this job. Now she wants the fireplace rebricked. I know her pretty well( 相當(dāng)好，幾乎 ). I could give her a call. I‘ve got it solved. I‘m just gonna hit her with one of those fireplace bricks. That is so funny. Whenever she wants anything done, she does this song and dance（不著邊際的廢話， 大肆 宣揚(yáng)） about I don‘t know, I‘m stupid, you tell me. You know better than i. but couldn‘t we flip(翻轉(zhuǎn) ) the house. So everything on one side is now on the other, and the back bees the front. Could the whole house open up on a hinge（鉸鏈，關(guān)鍵） ? That way I could just get in with the garage door opener（汽車庫(kù)門開門器） . Bring that stuff. My firm has box seats（駕駛員座位，箱座） to the Mariners. Why don‘t we all go sometime（改天，來日） ? What about camping? I went camping once. We oughta（ =ought to 應(yīng)該，應(yīng)當(dāng)） start camping more often. Time for bed. Don‘t you wanna thank her for this delicious dinner? I never saw anybody cook potatoes that way. I‘m glad you liked it. We don‘t see a lot of potatoes around here. We‘re rice men. Turn on your radio. You‘ve got me listening to this garbage（垃圾，廢物） . Who is it? She‘s having trouble with him again. I‘ll downstairs. i‘ll call you back. Are you bleeding? He‘s kissing her right this minute. Tell the truth. Are you spying on（監(jiān)視） your father? I have to make them stop. How am I gonna explain this to him? She came over and cooked dinner. She brought two bags of groceries, like she was staying for a year. It‘s good that your father‘s dating. It‘s just hard on you. it‘s something you think you want. Then when it happens, it scares you. Shouldn‘t your father be the judge of whether someone is right or wrong for him. He‘s not sane(健全的，神志正常的 ) enough to judge anything. Now he‘s kissing her on the lips. She‘s a ―ho‖（俚語(yǔ)：妓女） ! my dad‘s been captured by her. What am I going to do? Tomorrow morning when you‘re having breakfast with your dad, tell him how you feel. It‘s not good to keep your feelings inside you. In the broom closet(雜物室，清潔間 ). You scared me. Don‘t ever do that again. I thought I saw a black widow. You scared me to death. It was right over there. The next time you think you see a black widow spider, I want you to say‖excuse me, I believe a poisonous insect is in the house‖ and I will calmly e and take care of it. Scream again. She was hysterical（歇斯底里） . That doesn‘t make any sense. Thank god my life is in place. You have to write to her. You think so? I thought I would look into doing a story on those radio shows. You‘d probably have to go somewhere to really look into it. Definitely. Couldn‘t you do a phone interview? Not for the kind of piece I wanna do. I won‘t be in Chicago that long. When you get back. I‘ll be gone. This is captain browning. We‘re at our crusing altitude of approximately 35,000 feet. The weather is clear to the west, and we expect to arrive in Seattle on schedule(按時(shí) ). Don‘t you hate flying? I just told the terrible one to the man I‘m about to marry. Do you feel that any lie is a betrayal（ n:背叛） ? Thanks for bringing me out here. Can I bring something back for you? A souvenir? Does he like snow globes? You shake them up and then the snow floats down. I‘d really like that. I read an article about this. All children are hideous(丑陋的，可怕的 ) at age eight. It‘s quite normal. Maybe when I e back, the two of us oughta spend some time together on our own. I hardly know her myself. She is a mystery to me. She tosses her hair a lot. Why does she do this? I have no idea. Is it a switch? Does she need a haircut? Should she use a barrette to keep her hair out of her face? These are things I‘m willing to get to the bottom of(弄清事實(shí)真相 ). And that is why I am dating her. That‘s all I am doing. I‘m not living with her. I‘m not marrying her. Can you appreciate the difference? This is what single peo
