1. Though never consummated, that encounter went far enough that I had to fish a mint-colored, never-used condom out from behind my dormitory bunk bed the next day . Everything had been moving along nicely, and my shirt and pants were off, but when I revealed my virgin status , he became （perhaps rightfully）afraid I would form an unbreakable one-way bond with him and fled .

雖然沒有真刀真槍成就好事，那次艷遇的尺度還是大到隔天我要從宿舍的雙層床后面找出來一個(gè)還沒用過的綠色避孕套。本來一切進(jìn)展順利，我的襯衫和褲子都已經(jīng)脫下來了，可是當(dāng)我暴露出我的處女之身，他害怕（怕得有道理）我會(huì)纏住他不放而逃之夭夭。

2. Two Emily Dickinsons with facial piercings, wondering what life had in store for us and whether we had unwittingly crossed the divide between innocent and pathetic .

我們這兩名臉上有穿洞的艾米莉迪肯生式詩意女生，不知道等待著我們的生活是咋樣，不知道我們是否傻乎乎地逾越了純情與笨蛋的分界線。

3. How could I sleep when the person beside me had firsthand knowledge of my mucus membranes ?

睡在我身旁這個(gè)人有我粘液的第一手資料，叫我如何睡的著？

4. He was a shield against loneliness , against fights with my mom and C-minus papers and mean bartenders who didn't buy my fake ID .

他是我的屏障，讓我不感到孤單，不去和老媽吵架，不為考試不及格而鬧心，不因酒保不買我假身份證的賬而生氣。
