10 Researching the Heart

CHAPTER 10 RESEARCHING THE HEART After lunch, I go visit Mrs. Beamster, our librarian, and tell her my problem. She gives me a book called Romance Through the Ages. READ THIS. THANK YOU.

第十章研究心脏午饭后，我去拜访我们的图书管理员比姆斯特夫人，把我的问题告诉了她。 她给了我一本叫《千古浪漫》的书。 读这个。谢谢你！

It starts with Stone Age courtship. If a caveman loved a cavelady, he'd grab her by the hair and drag her off to his cave. I could try that at recess, but I think I'd get sent to the principal's office. And what if she is wearing a wig?

它始于石器时代的求爱。 如果一个穴居人爱上了一个女骑士，他会抓住她的头发，把她拖到他的洞穴里。 我可以在课间休息的时候试试，但我觉得我会被送到校长办公室。 如果她戴着假发呢？

In the Middle Ages, knights would save their ladies from dragons. I knew that. MY HERO.

在中世纪，骑士们会把他们的女人从龙手里救出来。 我知道。我的英雄。

In the Romantic Age, guys would put their jackets over muddy puddles so that girls wouldn't get their feet wet. If I brought home a muddy jacket, my mom would kill me. MY DEAR.

在浪漫主义时代，男人会把他们的夹克放在泥泞的水坑上，这样女孩就不会把脚弄湿。 如果我带回家一件沾满泥巴的夹克，我妈会杀了我的。 我亲爱的。

ROMEO WAS LATE FOR DINNER AND JULIET IT ALL. Men also wrote lots of poems. It was the age of Puddles and Poems. Then later, troubadours would play guitars and sing under a lady's balcony. I wonder if Tiffany has a balcony. I don't play the guitar, but I am taking piano lessons. YOU'RE OFF-KEY.

罗密欧吃饭迟到了，朱丽叶也迟到了。 男人也写了很多诗。 那是一个水坑与诗歌的时代。 后来，游吟诗人会在一位女士的阳台下弹吉他唱歌。 不知道蒂凡尼有没有阳台。 我不会弹吉他，但我在上钢琴课。 你是不恰当的。

In modern courtship, men send flowers, candy, and diamond rings. With my allowance, I could give her a chocolate-chip cookie. Boy, courtship sounds like a real trial.

在现代求爱中，男人会送鲜花、糖果和钻戒。 用我的零用钱，我可以给她一块巧克力饼干。 伙计，求爱听起来真像一场考验。
