Novelist and official Southern Belle Loraine Despres used to warn me to be wary of men who say, "When I'm done with you…" As in, "When I'm done with you, you'll know Paris like the back of your hand," or, "By the time I'm done with you, you'll have a wardrobe of real silk lingerie." It means, she says, he expects to be done with you. Me, all I hear is Paris and panties.
小說家洛蘭·德普雷是一位真正的南方淑女，她過去常警告我要小心那些說“……我才會和你分開”的男人，比如“你對巴黎了如指掌的時候，我才會和你分開”，或者“你擁有一整柜真絲內(nèi)衣的時候，我才會和你分開” 。洛蘭認(rèn)為男人說這些話的意思是他想和你分手。而我呢，只聽到巴黎和褲褲。
