In the gay town of Lepingville I bought her four books of comics, a box of candy, a box of sanitary pads, two cokes, a manicure set, a travel clock with a luminous dial, a ring with a real topaz, a tennis racket, roller skates with white high shoes, field glasses, a portable radio set, chewing gum, a transparent raincoat, sunglasses, some more garments -- swooners, shorts, all kinds of summer frocks. At the hotel we had separate rooms, but in the middle of the night she came sobbing into mine, and we made it up very gently. You see, she had absolutely nowhere else to go.
在五光十色的利坪维尔小城，我给她买了四本笑话书，一盒糖，两筒可口可乐，一套修指甲器，一个旅行钟带夜光的，一只镶真黄金的戒指，一把网球拍，一双白色高帮旱冰鞋，一副小型双筒望远镜，一只袖珍收音机，口香糖，透明雨衣，太阳镜，又买了衣服—迷你裙、短裤、各式各样的夏裙。在旅馆，我们分开了房间住，但夜深时，她呜咽着投入我的怀抱，于是温情脉脉地言归于好了。你们知道，她完全没有其他地方可去。
