1.. Sometimes I just can't stand the unbearable fatness of being.
有时候,我就是受不了生命中不能忍受之肥。
(点评: 昆德拉要是现在才写小说,书名肯定就是《生命中不能忍受之肥》。)
2. I sit quietly and let my churning thoughts drain out of me, like old bong water on Willie Nelson's tour bus or the fat at a Beverly Hills liposuction clinic.
我静坐沉思,思绪如泉汨汨往外冒,就像威利尼尔森长途巴士上大麻水烟枪里没换的水,或者像比华利山吸脂诊所里的脂肪一样。
(点评: Willy Nelson ,美国乡谣传奇,也是“大麻派”教父。 像饶舌歌手Snoop Doggs一样,他们对大麻的迷恋高于他们在音乐上的造诣 。 )
3. That extra layer of religion that was lacquered on me as a kid wasn't easy to slough off-being a Jew and a Mormon was a full-time job.
我童年时代就被多涂上的这层宗教之漆是很难剥落的。又是犹太人又是摩门教,这可是一份全职工作哎!
(点评: 不像半路出家的和尚“酒肉穿肠过,佛祖心中留。”)
4. If we are all God's children, what's so special about Jesus?
如果我们全都是上帝的儿子,那耶稣有什么与众不同呢?
(点评: 父母总会偏心的。 )
5. I got my first bikini. It's a three pieces: it's a top, a bottom, and a blindfold for you.
我有了自己第一套三点式泳装。那是三件头的,上面一件,下面一件,还有眼罩一件,是给你的。
(点评: 非常有自知之明。 眼不见为美。)
