Sally

Sally is a girl with eyes like Egypt and nylons the color of smoke.The boys at school think she`s beautiful because her hair is shiny black like raven feathers and when she laughs,she flicks her hair back like a satin shawl over her shoulders and laughs.

Her father says to be this beautiful is trouble.They are very strict in his religion.They are not supposed to dance.He remembers his sisters and is sad.Then she can`t go out.Sally I mean.

Sally,who taught you to paint your eyes like Cleopatra? And if I roll the little brush with my tongue and chew it to a point and dip it in the muddy cake,the one in the little red box,will you teach me? 

萨莉

萨莉是一个描着埃及女王的眼圈,穿烟灰色尼龙丝袜的女孩。学校的男生认为她很美,因为她的头发像渡乌鸦毛一样乌黑闪亮,她笑的时候,把头发往后一甩,像一面滑缎方巾披在肩膀上,然后大笑起来。

她爸爸说长这么美是麻烦事。他们非常严格地遵从他的信仰。他们不能去跳舞。他想起他的姐妹们,很伤心。于是她就不能出来。我说的是萨莉。

萨莉,是谁教会你把眼睛涂得像克莉奥帕特拉?如果我把这个小刷子用舌头卷一下,舔成尖尖的,蘸到小泥饼里去,那个小红盒子里的,你会教我吗?
