男人心海底針：男人真正想說的是什麼？
Novelist and official Southern Belle Loraine Despres used to warn me to be wary of men who say, "When I'm done with you.hellip;" As in, "When I'm done with you, you'll know Paris like the back of your hand," or, "By the time I'm done with you, you'll have a wardrobe of real silk lingerie." It means, she says, he expects to be done with you. Me, all I hear is Paris and panties.
小說家洛蘭·德普雷是一位真正的南方淑女，她過去常警告我要小心那些說“……我纔會和你分開”的男人，比如“你對巴黎瞭如指掌的時候，我纔會和你分開”，或者“你擁有一整櫃真絲內衣的時候，我纔會和你分開” 。洛蘭認爲男人說這些話的意思是他想和你分手。而我呢，只聽到巴黎和褲褲。
