第二章讲述是从女主角的角度讲述 juli遇到Bryce第一天就怦然心动了,他们日常相处的细节以及她没有得到的那个初吻。
摘录两段经典语录,语言简单有趣,画面感很强。
第一段是juli怦然心动的描述,可以背下来作为写作素材。
My heart stopped.It just stop beating.And for the first time in my life,I had that feeling.You know,like the world is moving all around you,all beneath you,all inside you,and you're floating.Floating in midair.And the only thing keeping you from drifting away is the other person's eyes.They're connected to yours by some invisible physical force,and they hold you fast while the rest of the world swirls and twirls and falls completely away.
第二段是关于蛋糕的描绘,用在口语中可谓是相当出色的。
The powered sugar looked soft and white,and the cake was still warm,sending sweet lemon smells into the air.My mouth was watering just looking at it ! But it was in Mrs.Loski's hands,and I knew there was no geting it back.All I could do was try to eat up the smells while I listened to the two of them discuss grocery and forecast.
