Belle: I got a new book. Papa, do you think I am odd⁴（奇怪的）?
Father: My daughter? Odd? Where would you get an idea like that?
Belle: Oh, I don’t know. It’s just that I am not sure I fit in here. There is no one I can really talk to.
Father: What about that Gaston? He is a handsome fellow.
Belle: He is handsome, all right, and rude, and conceited（自以为是的）, and… oh, papa, he is not for me.
