A few years ago I was having a drink with friends, including one who was dating a guy she had met online. Eventually she took me aside and asked me a question.
几年前,我与几个朋友相聚小酌。其中一个朋友当时正在与一个网上认识的男人约会。后来她把我叫到一旁,问了我一个问题。
'How tall are you?' she said.
她说:你多高?
'I am exactly 6-feet tall,' I replied.
我回答说:正好六英尺(合1.83米)。
'How tall would you say my boyfriend is?'
她问:你觉得我男朋友有多高?
I eyeballed the man standing a few feet away. '5-8. Maybe 5-9,' I replied.
我仔细打量了一下站在几英尺外的那个男人,回答说:五英尺八英寸,要不就五英尺九英寸。
She frowned. 'He says that he's 6-feet tall.'
她皱了皱眉说:他说他六英尺。
'Did he also tell you that he has hair?'
我问道:他有没有说是包括头发的高度?
All my life I have been dealing with guys who lie about their height. Deep down inside, every man wants to be 6-feet tall, even though the national average is 5-10. For men, it is like being a millionaire; it is a club to which a man simply must belong. Lying about one's height, even when there is no chance of getting away with it, is a male thing. Like most male things, it is stupid.
