PART 1- 3句
1, I didn't have a crush on her.
Maylene's totally got a thing for you. You guys are great together
实用口语表达： have a crush on 对某人有好感
get a thing for （起哄两人在一起， 很好的句式 哈哈）
2, All around me, love was in bloom.
把名词换掉，使用这个句式。 sadness，happiness...
I felt a flood of emotions rushing through me. I didn't know how to describe the feeling like all around me, love was in bloom.
3, I was everywhere with everybody, and at the same time I was all by myself.
PART 2- 3词
1, matter-of-factly (adv.)
She said it so matter-of-factly that I had no idea how to process it.
matter-of-fact (adj.) + about
showing no emotion when you are talking about something exciting, frightening, upsetting etc.
看单词字面 事情的事实 事实往往是客观的，所以自然衍生出形容词词义
仿写：How could he say the things so matter-of factly? was he actually so utterly indifferent for my life? Oh, I wish he was not my husband.
2, out of
At break, as the only mixed kid out of a thousand, I face the same predicament.
此处 out of 翻译为 在
例如： Out of ten students, one will be successful.
在10个学生中有一个会成功。 out of 后面是分母，
在同一段中 out of 共出现三次，每次意思都不尽相同
We didn't have any money, so I was out of the mix there, too
I did it out of necessity.
out of sth的感觉就是 从sth出来，以他为标准为参照，是你的我从你里面出来，以你为基准
3, seamlessly
Since I belonged to no group I learned to move seamlessly between groups.
seam: a line where two pieces of metal, wood etc have been joined together
连接的线少了，自然表面光滑了 放在句子中 圆滑
seamless：
同义词： flawless, letter-perfect, picture-book （比较有意思的两个单词 adj.）
反义词： imprefect, flawed
PART 3- Thougths
感觉都是一样一样的，小时候都会起哄谁跟谁在一起了，他俩咋咋咋，果真这个是天性。作者在起哄中跟Maylene表白，女生也答应，结果隔天就因为另一个男生把作者华丽丽的甩了，语气都是 matter-of-fact, 心疼作者30s。作者的第一个女朋友就这样告别了自己，作者后面对那个男生的描写的口吻也是让自己感觉，嗯 以前初高中好像就是这么八卦班上的人的。
第二段校园经历的描写，作者也是因为color，不属于任何一个群体，并且最后找到了自己在这个环境中生存的办法，最终让自己属于每一个群体，又不属于任何一个群体（I was everywhere with everybody, and at the same time I was all by myself.）。其实抛去种族背景不谈，在初高中的时候班上也总是会有个小伙伴是被人不喜欢，被欺负，成为几个人“小弟”，被使唤。作者在这样的生活里找出自己的生存之道也是佩服他的内心，毕竟像大家都是同胞的环境下，还有人会适应不了校园做出各种各样的行为。
