亲爱的室友 Dear Roommate


文字难度:★★☆

  Dear Roommate,
  A few things you should know: I love Christmas music and 1)am prone to 2)breaking it out in early November. I am a heavy 3)soda water, and 4)Gatorade drinker, but don’t worry, I always recycle.
  I read. A lot. Often at 5)odd hours of the night. I know how to work a flashlight so it shouldn’t be a problem. I have 6)zillions of books for you to borrow if you want.
  I am an 7)avid 8)Cup of Noodle customer, sometimes having it for dinner four times a week. If I turn into a Cup of Noodle like my mother predicts, please tell her that I didn’t suffer.
亲爱的室友 Dear Roommate  I love 9)board games and I challenge you to a 10)Sudoku race anytime, anywhere.
  I’ve been told that I talk to myself too much. I promise to make you laugh. My dad gave me a 11)Filipino nose and his passion for 12)pranks. If you find your car filled 13)to the brim with 14)Styrofoam peanuts, 15)forward all hate mail to him. He also gave me terrible eyesight. If I mistake you for a 16)bedpost, please don’t take it personally.
  I love 17)answering machines and am known to change the 18)recorded message weekly. I will probably wear socks with sandals at least once. If it bothers you, I’ll make sure not to tell people I’m your roommate.
  I am what is known as Not a Morning Person. Not Morning People do not enjoy the hours before 10 a.m., unless there is a football game on. Not Morning People have no problem with other people getting up before 10 a.m., unless 19)said people do something that would cause a Not Morning Person to wake up.
  Lastly, I like long walks on the beach and 20)cuddling. Just kidding. If you can 21)put up with all of that—and as long as you’re not a 22)Yankee or 23)Patriots fan—I’d be honored to share my freshman year with you.
  
  亲爱的室友:
  一些你应该知道的事情:我喜爱圣诞歌,而且习惯11月初就准备好狂播。我非常爱喝汽水和“佳得乐”运动饮料,不过别担心,瓶子罐子我会分类处理好,方便循环再用。
  我经常读书,常常熬夜阅读。我知道如何打手电筒,这样就不会有问题了。我的书不计其数,如果你需要,可供你借阅。
  我是日清“合味道”杯面的狂热消费者,有时候一周会有四次把它作为正餐来吃。如果我像我妈妈预言的那样,变成了“合味道杯面”,请告诉她我并不痛苦。
  我喜爱棋盘游戏,我会在任何时候,任何地方,向你挑战“数独”游戏。
  有人告诉我,我太爱自言自语了。我保证会逗你大笑。我老爸遗传给我一个扁阔大鼻,以及他那爱搞恶作剧的基因。如果你发现你的车里塞满了聚苯乙烯泡沫粒,请把所有的咒骂邮件转发给他。我糟糕的视力也是遗传自我老爸,如果我错把你当成了床柱,还请你不要介意。
  我喜欢电话答录机,大家都知道我喜欢每周更换录音提示的内容。我可能至少有一次会穿袜子配凉鞋。如果这样做会令你烦恼,我保证不会告诉别人我是你的室友。
  我向来不早起。不早起的人不会享受上午10点之前的时光,除非这个时间段里有足球比赛可看。不早起的人和那些上午10点之前起床的人不会有冲突,除非是那些人做了某些会吵醒他们的事。
  最后,我喜欢在沙滩上悠长漫步,也喜欢拥抱。开玩笑的。如果你能容忍以上种种——而且只要你不是纽约洋基球队或者新英格兰爱国者球队的“粉丝”——我会很荣幸与你一起共度我的大一生活。
