玫瑰色的月亮
The Rosy Moon

就像半天空里掉下个金元宝一样,罗君的一幅条幅竟然在全省书法比赛中得了奖,整个世界立刻在23岁的罗君眼里变成了令人心荡神驰的玫瑰色。此刻,他吸着烟,以一个书法家的眼光望着镜框里的B姑娘,这个差点成为自己妻子的她,原来一点也不漂亮,瞧那嘴唇,厚得多厉害,简直可以说,丑死了。以后人家会说--年轻的书法家,怎么找一个卖冷饮的?配得上吗?……哎,幸亏这奖状来得是时候,不然等结了婚可就不好办了。
When he won a prize in the Province's calligraphy contest, Mr. Luo feltelated as if a gold ingot had fallen on him from the sky. The world instantlybecame ecstatically rosy in the eyes of the 23-year-old winner. At the moment,he was smoking a cigarette while judging Miss B's photograph in a glassframe with a calligrapher's eye. He found that she was by no means pretty and she was the one who almost became his wife! Look at her lips, he thought. How thick they are! Ugly beyond words! People would ask, then, how come a young calligrapher should choose to marry a cold drink peddler? It isn't a good match! Well, fortunately, the prue camein time, or it would be too late if we had gotten married.
把她扔掉!不过肯定会有人指责这件事儿,有人就爱管闲事儿!罗君可不怕这个:虽然自己曾和她信誓旦旦,但此一时彼一时也,现在我已是书法家了,搞艺术的,一个卖冷饮的懂什么艺术?再说……比如有一个粗瓷盘子,本来一直和许多普通盘子混在一起当餐具,可有一天考古学家发它竟是一件珍贵文物,那么以后呢,当梦就跟那些珍贵文物摆到一起去啦。那些普通盘子呢,只有仰望的份!当然,羡慕和嫉妒是少不了的,人之常情嘛。想到这里罗君正气凛然地扳倒镜框,取出B姑娘的照片扔到一边,把A姑娘的彩色剧照装进去。瞧,只有千娇百媚的A,才能配得上我!(原先,罗君觉得A就是女神,自己只有望望的份儿,而现在呢?他感到自己已成了艺术的王子,王子和女神……那还用说?!)
I must shake her off me! But some other people would certainly gossip about it, those who like to poke their noses into everything! I won't be scared. Times have changed. To hell with all those solemn vows I've made to her! I am now a calligrapher engaged in art. What does a cold drink peddler know about art? After all, I am like a coarse china plate that used to be put together with those commonplates for daily use until one day an archeologist discovered that it was anantique. Well, then, when it's placed with other precious antiques in the museum, all the common plates will have to bow low to it. Jealousy, naturally, will come with admiration. For that's the way things are. Thus Mr. Luo took the picture of Miss B from the frame and threw it away, feeling well justified. In its place he put in a color stage photo of Miss A, and went on dreaming. See? With her charm and grace this woman must be the one that makes a match for me now. To Mr. Luo, the woman used to be a fairy queen whom he could only look up to and admire at a distance. But now that he felt himself to be the prince of art....A fairy queen and a prince, what a perfectmatch!
