E03｜ flipped buddy beware Chapter 3 筆記

第三章后半部分布萊斯談?wù)撝炖驎r(shí)的心態(tài)開(kāi)始變化，他原本以為朱莉忽視他后他會(huì )高興，但是沒(méi)有。布萊斯甚至不自主的認真觀(guān)察朱莉，注意到她的很多細節。最后還想讓朱莉知道他在想他。

布萊斯以及發(fā)現自己喜歡上了朱莉，但為什么又不告訴朱莉呢？

因為在他們相處的六年里，布萊斯和朱莉屬于不同世界的兩個(gè)小孩。朱莉熱情開(kāi)朗，布萊斯自命不凡，虛榮還帶點(diǎn)小男生的慫。

他很納悶自己為什么會(huì )對那個(gè)他討厭的女孩子產(chǎn)生好感。對于布萊斯這樣的男孩子來(lái)說(shuō)，喜歡上自己討厭的女孩子有些不可思議。不過(guò)這和生活中的人們沒(méi)有太大的區別，有時(shí)候很難說(shuō)一定就能找到那個(gè)自己喜歡的類(lèi)型，并且還可以和自己喜歡的人談戀愛(ài)。

大多數時(shí)候，我們都是被那些和自己不一樣的人吸引，然后開(kāi)始一段新的旅程。和布萊斯一樣，當有一個(gè)自己討厭的女孩子喜歡上自己時(shí)，第一反應就是逃避。不愿意去接納她，朱莉做的事情在布萊斯看來(lái)都是不可理喻的，這就是為什么布萊斯發(fā)現自己喜歡朱莉之后他不肯面對自己的情感，喜歡上自己討厭的人會(huì )讓布萊斯覺(jué)得沒(méi)面子。

結尾這段布萊斯就坦誠自己內心。After all,the last thing I needed was for Juli Baker to think I missed her.

這段外公的吃穿住行的表述很細膩，拿來(lái)用到我們寫(xiě)作中就很高級了。

My grandfather's big man with a meaty nose and greased-back salt-and-pepper hair.He lives in house slippers and a sports coat,and I've never seen a whisker on him.They grow, but he shaves them off like three times a day.It's a real recreational activity for him.

Besides his meaty nose, he's also got big meaty hands.I suppose you's notice his hands regardless.but what makes you realize just how beefy they are is his wedding ring.That thing's never going to come off,and even though my mother says that's how it should be,I think he ought to get it cut off.Another few pounds and that ring's going to amputate his finger.

本章有關(guān)于餐桌上的情景我們日常生活也會(huì )遇到，下面這段素材非常好的口語(yǔ)素材。

At dinner my mother asked me why I was so sulky, and she kept looking from me to my grandfather.Granddad didn't seem to need any salt, which was a good thing because I might have thrown the shaker at him.

My sister and dad were all business as usual, though.Lynetta ate about two raisiness out if her carrot salad, then peeled the skin and meat off her chicken wing and nibbled gristle off the bone, while my father filled up airspace talking about office politics and the need for a shakedown in upper management.

No one was listening to him-no one ever does when he gets on one of his if-I-ran-the-circus jags-but for once Mom wasn't even pretending.And for once she wasn't trying to convince Lynatta that dinner was delicious either. She just kept eyeing me and granddad, trying to pick up on why we were miffed at each other.
