I want this one moment, its what I want in a relationship, which might explain why I am single now, haha。
这是我在一段关系中希望获得的时刻,或许也正解释了我为什么还是单身,哈哈。
It’s kind of hard to……its that thing when you with someone and you love them and they know and they love you and you know it。
怎么形容呢……就是当你和某个人在一起,他们知道你爱他们,你也知道他们爱你。
but it’s a party, and you both talking to other people, and you are laughing and you are shining, and you look across the room, catch each other’s eyes,
但是那是一个派对,你们都在和另外的一些人交谈,你们大笑,你们光彩夺目,然后你看向房间的另一端,你们四目交汇。
but not because you are possessive or its precisely sexual,
不是因为你的占有欲,或是带着性暗示,
but because that is your person in this life, and its funny and sad but only because this life will end,
但是那就是你生命中的那一个人,有点好笑又有点忧伤,是因为生命总会有尽头,
and the secret world that exists right there, in public, unnoticed, that no one else knows about,
但那个隐蔽的世界存在在那里,在公共空间里,却不被任何人注意,
its sort of like how they say, that other dimensions exists all around us but we don’t have the ability to perceive them.
这有点像人们常说的那种,我们无法感知的平行空间。
That’s what I want out of a relationship, or just life, I guess.
我想,这就是我在一段感情里希望获得的,或者说,就是生活吧。
Frances是那种,你只需要给她一个话题切口,她就能给你絮叨出一整个宇宙的姑娘。就着酸葡萄酒挥发的劲儿,她告诉我她在纽约的一个名叫Sophie的朋友和一个一本正经的男人订婚了,抛弃了她,要去日本定居。而在此之前,她们是最佳闺蜜,是楼下咖啡厅老板口中的“没有性爱生活的一对同性恋人”(a lesbian couple that doesn't have sex anymore)。她们一个对着电脑做健美操,一个翘着腿坐在一边看杂志吃爆米花。她们一起盘着腿下跳棋,看着对方快赢的时刻揉乱这一盘棋也不会生气。
