In secondary school, I was always self-conscious about my border="1" Height.
Once I was asked out by a life-guard. I had never really stood next to him and didn"t know how tall he was, so the night of the date I took out two pairs of shoes-one with heels, one flat. I arranged with my brother to answer the door, compare his border="1" Height with my date"s and run upstairs to let me know which shoes to wear.
When doorbell rang I waited. Then my brother showed up and told me what I didn"t want to hear, "Go barefoot."
Notes
Barefoot adj. 赤脚的
光着脚去
中学的时候,我对自己的高度非常敏感。一次,以为救生员约我出去约会。事实上,我从未和他并肩站过,因而不知道他到底有多高。因此约会那晚,我拿出两双鞋,一双高跟,一双平跟。我安排哥哥去开门,让他和救生员比比高度,再上楼告诉我应穿哪双鞋。门铃响了,我在楼上等着。哥哥跑上楼告诉我一个不幸的消息:“你可以光着脚去约会。”
