Carlos was through kidding. “Sure, it bothers me, being knee-high to a flea. But there isn't anything I can do about it. When I realized I was going to have to spend my life in this undersized skin, I just decided to make the best of it and concentrate on being myself." “You seem to get along great," I admitted. “But what about me? No boy wants to date a girl taller than he is." “The trouble with you is you're afraid to be yourself. You're smart. And you could be pretty. In fact, you might be more than pretty." I felt myself turning red. “I'm getting a great idea," said Carlos, and right then he suggested being my manager. I wasn't sure. “Well"
卡洛斯终于不再开玩笑了。“我承认确实如此，就如同一只身高只到达别人膝盖的跳蚤一般，我的矮个子的确大大干扰了我的生活。但是这是天生的，我并不能做任何改变。当我意识到我这辈子只能以这样矮的身高生活下去时，我就下定决心在这样的条件下做最好的自己。 “你做得很棒呀！”我赞同道。“但我呢？唉，没有男孩会想和一个比他高的女孩约会。” “你的问题就是你害怕做你自己。你很聪明。你也可以很漂亮。事实上，用漂亮来形容你还远远不够。” 我感觉到我的脸越来越红。 我虽然很不情愿还是回应了。“好吧！” 翻译：beryldemon（水平有限，仅供参考） PS 望手下留情，勿随意点击挑错反馈。 欢迎站内。谢谢理解。
