我们在蒲黄渝地铁见面，出西南口看见了她。她穿着牛仔短裤，露出修长美腿，套着宽松衣服，戴着墨镜，坐在小自行车上，仰着脸微笑。我们一前一后走向她家，沿途门面被装修一新，为了迎接奥运，被装饰成仿古的味道。但在这条嬉闹的街道上，热浪依旧，吵杂依旧。

她说，假如奥运期间，地铁和公交人都太多，她会考虑骑自行车上班。去国贸那边，只有7站，平均要1个小时。她怕晒，说，这么热的天，不晒是不可能的。

这栋一居室是她2006年买下的，当时要9600元，家里承担了首付，每个月她将近还3000多元。在她身上，一点看不出“房奴”的紧张，比如对生活的抱怨，对物质的精打细算等等。这间房屋是她独自装修的，选材料、买家具，细致到买窗帘。在装修的一个月内，她晚上8点要回廊坊的家里过夜，早晨还要赶来上班。她半天半天的请年假。装修累人，她不再愿意去回顾，这一两年再没变化。

她每半个月要回廊坊陪妈妈和外婆。这条路她很熟悉。8岁开始，她每周往返在这条道路上，到北京学习钢琴。学了8年，拿到业余证8级。角落了有一架钢琴，学琴时买的，已好久未动。她不曾忘记弹过的曲调，在博客中说，现在才慢慢领悟到钢琴曲的优雅。

从小她和男生玩，性格开朗，乐观。很不服输，强势。她喜欢吃，这是种享受，却又和减肥矛盾，回家很少做饭。她喜欢买衣服，要慢慢挑选，衣服并不多。她经常和朋友聚会，一天天日子飞快。她有自己打算，说过了今年日子可能会好过一些。房贷要减轻点，岗位可能有所变化，会从事专业英语翻译，这是她的专业。

她认为爱情应该是纯粹的，无关物质、地位和名誉，就如读书中单纯的感情。可周围都说她不现实。她问，这种感情真的存在吗？

face63——sheepo

We met at the southwest exit of Puhuangyu Subway Station.She wore denim shorts which showed her beautiful long legs, loose clothing,and sunglasses.She sat on a small bike,looking up with a smile.We walked toward her home，the one behind the other.The roadside store fronts are renovated in an antique finished style to meet the Olympic Games.But on this bustling street,the heat and the noise is as always.

She said,if the subway and the bus were too crowded during the Olympic Games,she would consider going to work by bus.There were only seven stops to the Guo Mao shopping mall station and needed approximately an hour.She was afraid of the scorching sunshine,saying in such a hot day it was impossible not to get sunburnt.

She bought this flat in 2006.It costed 9,600 yuan，and her parents offered the first payment.She had to pay 3,000 per month.You couldn’t see the nervousness of a stressed mortgage slave,like whining about life and pinch pennies.She decorated this flat by herself,from choosing materials, buying furniture to buying curtains.She spent the night at her home in Lang Fang at 8 o’clock in the evening,and rushed to work in the morning.She took half a day of her annual leave every day.Decorating a house was tiring.She wouldn’t look back.This one or two years changed not much.

She would go back to to Lang Fang to accompany her mother and grandma every half a month.She was familiar with this road.Since eight years old,she had travelled back and forth on this road to study piano in Beijing.She studied for eight years and got the eighth grade certificate for amateurs.In the corner there was a piano which she bought when she was studying,but she hadn’t used it for a long time.She didn’t forget the pieces she had practised.She said in the blog that she now started to comprehend the grace of piano pieces.

Since childhood,she liked to play with boys.She was extroverted, optimistic,undefeated and fierce.She loved eating and took it as a pleasure,but this contradicted with the plan of losing weight.She barely cooked at home.She loved shopping and chose clothes carefully,so she didn’t have many.She liked to hang out with friends.Time flew.She had her own plan and thought this year her life might become better.The loan were lessened and her position at work might change.She would engage herself in English translation which was her major.

She thinks love should be pure,irrelevant to materials,social status and fame.It is as crystal as described in books.But other people say that she is unrealistic.She wonders,does this love really exist?

他在事业单位上班。虽然单位远在房山，但每天都有班车接送，不太堵车时一个半小时就能到家。早九点晚四点半，平日里工作不忙更不会加班。

父母都是老一辈部委外派回京的老干部，满面祥容。他们之间沟通的不多。下班到家，一般都在自己的房间里，书本里，电脑前，经常在自己的房间里摆弄些儿时常玩的–木偶人、纸飞机。虽然也安于现在的生活，但他觉得能有机会有所改变，体现自身在某方面的价值。那怕时不常的能做一点自己喜欢的事呢，他这样说。

他是个基督徒，他说这是一种信仰，也不知其他人是怎么想的。更是个美国西部摇滚的忠爱者。聊天的两个多小时里，他不时的就拿着一个西部乐手的肖像，让我看。

他生活规律、安逸。

He is a Christian.He says it is a faith and he doesn’t care what others think.He is more of a rock fan of the American West.During two hours of chatting,he frequently shows the portrait of a musician.

在房地产公司做销售，代理海滨城市一般人买不起的海景大洋房。目前还在实习期，到七月才是真正大学毕业，他已经显得很成熟沉稳，更是透着小年轻的活力劲。

他租住在西南三环外的三环新城，一个很有都市气息的社区。三居中的大间，大落地窗，木地板，简单的家具，没有空调，闷热。每月1300。他自己买了个小冰箱，才三百多，因为喜欢喝冰凉的饮料。天气热了，还准备买个空调，也想小一点的，方便以后搬家带走。本来听说窗机不错，可听我说那机器得架在窗子上后，他放弃了。

聊天时侃侃而谈，说着上学时与女友的相处，脸带腼腆，不好多说。说着今后会努力工作，将会有车有房，房子不怕远点在市郊，但要大，住得才舒服；车子倒是可以小一点反正只是代步工具。

He is now a sales intern in a real estate company, an agent for western-style houses that common people can’t affort. He lives in a big room in a set of three,

He rents a room in the “Third Link New Area”,a community with an morden-city atmosphere, out of the Third Link. His room is the biggest one of three, with a large French window, simple furniture, and it is a sweltering room without an air-conditioner.It costs him 1300 Yuan per month.He also bought a frigerator of only over 300 yuan as he loved cold drinks.As the temperature is rising, he would like to buy a small air-conditioner for it moves easily.At first, he heard that window air-conditioner was a better choice, but I said that this kind of machine needed to be fixed in the window before he gave it up.

His talk was confident and calm. But he became shy when he talked about his girlfriend he met in school. He said he would work hard to buy a house and an automobile in the future, and also mentioned that he feels fine if the house is far-located, but it has to be a big one to be confortable. His automobile, on the other hand, needs to be smaller as it is just a riding tool.
