"You didn't look anything like your picture," Jade said, looking down at the picture she had printed off the computer. The man standing in front of her was short and chubby with brown-tinted teeth. "This was supposed to be my big adventure."
“你看起來和照片一點(diǎn)也不像。”杰德邊低頭看著她從電腦上印下來的照片。站在她面前的這個(gè)人不僅身材矮小、圓圓胖胖，還有一口泛黃的牙齒。
Jade thought to herself. "Instead, it is turning out to be more of a nightmare."
杰德心想，原本應(yīng)該是一場(chǎng)美妙的冒險(xiǎn)經(jīng)歷，怎么反而變得更像是一場(chǎng)噩夢(mèng)。
For a long time, Jade resisted the idea of meeting someone online. It was too risky. But then she met Martin. He seemed like a nice guy. He was funny and his favorite movie was Titanic.
長(zhǎng)久以來，杰德對(duì)于線上交友一直都很抗拒，她覺得風(fēng)險(xiǎn)太大了。不過自從她認(rèn)識(shí)馬丁以后，覺得他似乎是個(gè)蠻不錯(cuò)的人，她不僅風(fēng)趣，最喜歡的電影還是鐵達(dá)尼號(hào)呢!
He liked cat, and so did she. He was a vegetarian! All vegetarians are friendly, good people.
他和她一樣喜歡貓，而且他還吃素。所有吃素的人都既有善又健康的好人。至少杰德是這么想的。
So after several months of meeting, she agreed to fly half way across the country to meet Martin in person. Her friends had egged her on saying it would be a great experience and an exciting adventure to fly to Wyoming to meet a man she was falling in love with online.
所以他們認(rèn)識(shí)幾個(gè)月后，她便答應(yīng)飛過半個(gè)美國(guó)，親自去見馬丁。她朋友也一直慫恿她說，飛到懷俄明去見她心儀的網(wǎng)友將會(huì)是一場(chǎng)美好的體驗(yàn)，更是一次令人興奮的冒險(xiǎn)。
"Well," said Martin. "That picture was taken five years ago." Jade groaned. Some adventurethis was going to be.
“這個(gè)嘛，”馬丁說：“那張照片是五年前照的。”杰德不禁呻吟了一聲，這算是哪門子的冒險(xiǎn)啊。
