二、12 烂藉口
红帽四部曲 · 徐风轻拂
「y i’ he.」
现10点,该ariel床躺平候。
「yung lady, yu finally reeber yur urfe—n yu e yur ther an explanatin—sit dn, right n.」
蓉卸书包,拉椅,坐妈妈,边拨弄间解开股辫。
「n, be really hnest. tell yur ther, ‘here have yu been?’」
妈妈语气透露潜台词:
”dn’t give e ‘ith the girls’—that n’t rk.”【别「跟女孩练习」套──管。】
况且,套「约服,」跟伦哈死型,烂藉口糊弄。
总「刚刚送楼候,伦依依捨楼,迟迟肯车站牌搭车。」
妈妈审问,她打马虎眼。
「i as ding y herk ith r. u’s help—」
「pr pretense.」【烂藉口】
「yu dn’t put n that ‘dress’ hile ding yur herk ith yur her teaher—」
「ther, yu have taught e all the anners.
「if i a seeking r. u’s help, i have t sh y gratitude.
「if i a t sh y sinerest gratitude, i a t ear a fral dress, ith a ‘basket ntaining a ake and a bttle f ine,’ n behalf f y ther, fr helping her daughter t get gd grades—these are the rules yu taught e, y.」
【果代表马麻,跟吴老师致谢,必须带束脩──「竹篮蛋糕,配瓶红酒。」】
她马麻显听,蓉刚刚偷渡《红帽》情节,支持己藉口。
眼谎言被拆穿,蓉更胆扯谎:
「i kn yu are alays busy, yu uldn’t ake it by visiting hi in persn, s i tk the liberty t thank hi, representing yu.
「he as the hublest teaher i have ever had.
「he said he as nly ding his part; helping students t get better grades is his duty, he said.
「he refused the gifts but tk y, yur, gratitude.
「e had dinner tgether. that is the stry.」
【补完习,吃顿完餐,样。】
「以母之矛,攻母之盾」──ariel just ast her ther’s n spell against herself.
毕竟衣服、配件、型……等,母亲她亲替蓉张罗:整套衣之,为股东聚,带蓉席,帮她设计装扮。
,她妈妈什。
她妈妈收拾桌──审问结束。
「g take a sher and g t bed early. yu have been late fr ne hur f yur bedtie.」
但,齣「感谢餐」剧本并未完全服疑母亲。
她母亲越想越劲,便她跟伦讨论功课(次真讨论功课,做情)候,电话打,开始顿质疑:
「ariel, ther ant yu t be pletely hnest: are yu hanging ut ith anyne ‘ther frbid yu t ingle ith?’—is it a “he?” y tld yu the illinth tie, ‘dn’t hang ut ith bys’—d yu nt reeber hat y have tld yu—」
【妈咪禁止跟男,记规矩吗?】
候,「」喜欢己男跟她相处很,常私约写功课、图书馆念书之类。
结束,她两并惹八卦,规矩再,头、各回。
终,及跟告白之,y手干预:
「ariel,男谁?」
「ariel,y跟让男接近吗?──以准跟男接触,知吗?」
ariel低头瞪眼睛,深吸口气,浑身剧烈颤抖。
「yu hear e? d nt let any bys get lse t yu, understand?」
「i understand, y.」
「dn’t just ‘understand, y.’ try t d sething right—dn’t give y that perfuntry reply. is it the thusand-first tie y tld yu—have y tld yu a thusand ties?—get aay fr bys—they are serpents—venus—serpents—d yu understand?」
