No! 不是吧！

Why? What did I do? ! 为什么？我哪里得罪你了？！

Sorry, I had to get the spotlight³ off me, and tearing down other women is part of my pageant¹ training. 抱歉，我得把注意力从我身上转移，攻击其他女生是我接受的选美特训内容之一。

Okay. We are reading that right now. 好的。我们现在就看。

No, please don't. 拜托别看。

We got embarrassed tonight. Come on. 反正今晚都丢人了。来吧。

Why? Is it about you and Sheldon? 为什么？是写的你和谢尔顿吗？

No. 不是。

Oh, my God, it's about her and Sheldon. 老天，是她和谢尔顿的事。

It's not about me and Sheldon. It's about a young woman in the 1800s named Amelia... 不是我和谢尔顿的事。女主是19世纪名叫艾米莉亚的年轻女生，

Except something about this morning felt different. 只是今早感觉有些不同。

Why? Why did it feel different? 为什么呢？为什么感觉不同了？

Maybe it was the first whisper of winter in the air, or maybe it was the unconscious handsome man with porcelain⁵ skin and curious clothing she was about to discover lying in the field. 也许是因为空气中响过冬天的第一声低语，也许是因为她即将发现草地上躺着一位昏迷的、 有着瓷器一样精致的皮肤的、穿着古怪衣衫的英俊男子。
