1981年夏季,米歇尔考上了普林斯顿大学,那时她有个男友叫David:
We went on real dates, going for what we considered upscale dinners at Red Lobster1 and to the movies.
David和米歇尔的父亲一块开车送她去入学。到了寝室门口,行李放手后,这对年轻男女朋友有的不知所措:
It was hitting us both, I assumed, that there were perhaps important things we hadnt discussed, that we had perhaps pergent views on whether this was temporary farewell or an outright2, geographically3 induced breakup.
男女朋友在他乡,有没那样一刻,你也会怀疑这一次是短暂的离别,还是那个都不愿说出口的分手。
Geographically induced breakup,爱的那样汹涌,散的那样平静。祝你幸福。
