As a freshman at the University of Dayton in Ohio, I was eager to make a good impression on my new roommate. When I arrived at our dorm room, I found her putting on perfume. "That's a great scent," I said, making conversation.

　 "Thanks-it was from my boyfriend. Here, try some," she said, holding the bottle out for me.

　　Unfortunately she let go before I had a firm grip, and the glass shattered on the tile floor. , Embarrassed, I tried to apologize, but she cut me off - "Actually, it's kind of fitting," she explained, surveying the damage. "That's exactly how the relationship went.

　　“谢了，我男朋友送的，来，洒些试试。”她说着把瓶子递给我。

　　不幸的是，我还没抓牢，她就松手了，玻璃瓶在瓷砖地板上摔碎了。我感到很窘，我刚想道歉，她就打断了我。“事实上，应该如此。” 她解释道，查看着破碎的瓶子，“我和他的关系正是这样的。”
