1. I was trying to break into the entertainment industry, where even unpaid internship positions have a 1 percent acceptance rate. The acceptance rate for Harvard university is 5.9 percent.

(我力图进军娱乐圈,而那里面即使是一个无薪实习职位的录取率只有1%。 人家哈佛大学的录取率都有5.9%呢。)

2. Every guy I made out with on the dance floor only wanted a single serving from the Spanx-sponsored Buffet I offered up each weekend, so the fact that Jared was coming back for seconds made me feel like Helen of Troy/Beyonce!

和我在舞池里动手动脚的每一位男人,都只想从我每周末提供的由紧身衣赞助的自助餐上吃一盘走人。所以当贾瑞德回头来拿第二盘的时候,我自我感觉像特洛伊的海伦/碧昂丝一样轻飘飘了。

3 My mom's enthusiasm is as contagious as the flu .

我妈妈的热情感染力犹如感冒病菌。

4. An Asian supermarket that smells like the inside of a whale's rectum.

亚洲超市里面透着一股鲸鱼屁股的味道。

5. I  was a pretty epic nerd growing up, so there wasn't really much breaking sex news on my end, unless you consider elaborate fantasies about the Backstreet Boys rippling off my overalls and making tender love to me on the set of Nickelodeon's Legends of the Hidden Temple newsworthy.

我从小到大都是一名书呆奇葩,所以我这边倒没什么爆炸"性新闻"可言,除非你觉得“后街男孩”在尼克罗蒂安的《隐寺传奇》的拍摄现场撕掉我的上衣和我温柔做爱的性幻想有新闻价值的话。
