My high school girlfriend’s name was Christie. Two syllables. Ends in the hard “e” sound.I was in a band, so she asked me to write her a song. I was happy to do so.I structured the rhyming scheme around the hard “e” in her name.I liked the song a lot. It was some of my best work.My next girlfriend was named Chelsea. Two syllables and ends in the hard “e” sound.I couldn’t let my hard work go to waste.When Chelsea asked for a song, I just re-recorded the old song, replaced “Christie” with “Chelsea”, and said “Here ya go! I wrote this just for you!”Wait a second…. Now I’m dating Becky. Two syllables. Hard “e”.Hmmmm…

我高中时的女朋友叫克里斯蒂，两个音节，以一个重音的"E"结尾。我当时是一名乐队成员，所以她让我给她写一首歌。我很乐意这么做，于是我围绕着她名字中的重音E设计了一套押韵方案。我非常喜欢那首歌，它是我最好的作品之一。而我的一下个女朋友叫切尔西。她的名字同样是两个音节，以一个发重音的E结尾。我不想浪费自己当初的心血。所以当切尔西让我给她写一首歌时，我只是重新录制了那首老歌，并把歌词中的克里斯蒂换成了切尔西，然而我对她说“搞定啦！这首歌是我专门为你写的！”等等... 我现在正和贝琪约会。也是两个音节，重音的E。嗯....

Fun fact: I also tried to do the same thing to my last girlfriend named Lindsey… apparently I had already filled her in on my shenanigans, so she didn’t buy it.

一个有趣的事实：我曾经对我的前女友林赛做过同样的事情，不过我之前曾经告诉她我的这个诡计，所以她并没有买账。

Mitchell Timp
You have had a lot of girlfriends who''''s names end in hard E sounds. It''''s almost like you only dated them to share your song

你交了很多名字以重音E结尾的女朋友，搞的好像你和她们约会就是为了分享你的那首歌。

An old joke:
A young man comes to the jeweller. “Please, sir, engrave this ring - ‘to my beloved Olga’”. The jeweller looks at him and smiles: “Dear young man, why don’t you engrave it - ‘to my one and only love’? Like this, you’ll be able to give it many times.”

一个老笑话：一个年轻人走进了一家珠宝店。
“先生，请在这枚戒指上刻上-献给我挚爱的奥尔加。”
珠宝商看了他一眼，微笑着说：亲爱的年轻人啊，为什么不刻上“献给我唯一的挚爱”？这样一来，这枚戒指你就能用上很多次了。

I was 15 or 16 year old, living with my parents in a very conservative and traditional household. My parents were very strict with everything - with whom I could go out, how much money I could have, how late I can stay - among others.Shortly after the school year, I’ve heard that some friends from high school were planning a ten days road trip from Copenhagen to Paris. They invited me and I desperately wanted to go.

那时候我十五六岁，我和父母一起居住在一个非常保守传统的家庭里。我的父母在任何方面都对我非常严格--我能和谁出去，我身上能带多少钱，我可以和其他人呆到多晚等等。那个学期结束后不久，我听说一些高中朋友计划来一场从哥本哈根到巴黎的十天自驾游。他们邀请了我，而我也真的很想去。

I knew there’s no way I would persuade my parents to let me go with the older boys to another country and I decided to go another route. I asked my mum to allow me to spend some time with my favorite aunt (her sister) and she reluctantly agreed. She gave me €500 so I needed to find about €500 more. My aunt told me she would cover for me but it would be too much to ask her for money. So, I did something absolutely terrible.

我知道自己不可能说服父母让我和那些年龄比我大的男孩子一起去另一个国家，于是我决定另辟蹊径。我请求妈妈允许我到我最喜欢的姑姑那里呆上一段时间，最后她勉强同意了。她给了我500欧元，但是我仍旧需要再弄个大约500欧元。我姑姑说她会给我打掩护，但是如果我再向她要钱的话就有点过分了。所以，我做了一件非常糟糕的事情。

I went to my mum’s jewelry box and took a random necklace that looked expensive and that I had never seen her wearing it. I brought it to the most degraded part of Copenhagen - Vesterbro - where Danish was barely spoken and sold it at a pawn shop. They offered me 9.000 Danish Krone, which translates to about €1.200. I was ecstatic and scared at the same time. However, I thought, since I had never seen my mum wearing it, shouldn’t be that big of a deal. It was.

我从我老妈的首饰盒中随便拿了一条看起来很贵，而又从未见她戴过的项链。我拿着这条项链来到了哥本哈根最堕落的地方-韦斯特布罗--那里的人几乎不说丹麦语，我把项链卖给了一家典当行。他们给了我9000丹麦克朗，相当于1200欧元。这让我既感到兴奋，又感到害怕。然而我转念一想，既然我从来没见我妈佩戴过这条项链，所以这应该也没什么大不了的。
然而，事情大条了！

Around three years later, shortly before high school graduation, my grandmother passed. My mum was devastated. She was screaming, and cursing. She was searching for something and she couldn’t find it. She wanted to wear the necklace I sold three years earlier and, of course, she couldn’t find it.

大约是在三年后，也就是我高中毕业前不久，我的外婆去世了。我老妈悲痛欲绝。她大声尖叫着，咒骂着。她在找着什么东西，但是却怎么也找不到。她想戴上的那条项链在三年前就已经被我卖掉了，所以她当然没法找到。

And it wasn’t for no reason. My father told me that this necklace had immense sentimental value. My grandmother was of Russian decent and immigrated to Denmark with her parents during WWII. That necklace was among the very few valuable things they had and, because it was passed from their grandparents, they never sold it, even in times of extreme financial hardships. Even if it could have solved many of their problems. I later found out that the true value of that necklace, just based on the amount of gold, would be around €5,000. Possibly much more if we factor any historical and cultural significance.

然而我妈之所以如此疯狂地寻找那条项链并非是没有原因的。我父亲告诉我，那条项链对她而言有着非常重大的情感价值。我的外婆是个俄罗斯裔，二战期间她随自己的父母移民到了丹麦。那条项链是他们当初身上仅有的几件值钱的东西之一，因为它是从他们的祖父母那一辈传下来的，所以他们从来没想过卖掉它，即便是在他们经济极度困难的时候，即便卖掉这条项链本可以解决他们曾面临的许多问题。后来我才发现这条项链的真正价值，光是那上面的黄金就价值大约5000欧元。如果我们把历史和文化价值也考虑在内的话，可能会更值钱。

My grandmother’s grandparents risked their lives when they hid it from the com...sts during The Russian Revolution in 1917. And then from the Nazi during WWII. And then preferred to live in poverty for decades. Just to keep it.

我外婆的祖父母在1917年的俄国革命期间，冒着生命危险背着俄共藏好了这条项链，然后还有二战期间的纳粹。他们宁愿在贫困中生活几十年，仅仅是为了留住它。

So that their granddaughter, some 60 years later, could spend it on a handbag.

而他们所做的这一切，仅仅是为了他们的孙女可以在60年把它卖掉然后拿钱去买个手提包。

I never told my mother what I did because it would have hurt her immensely. To this day, she’s still looking for it, hoping it’ll pop up somewhere.

我从来没有告诉过母亲自己做了些什么，因为这将会极大地伤害到她。一直到今天，她还在寻找着那条项链，希望它能在某个地方忽然间冒出来。

Was the money for a road trip or handbag? Because you said road trip at the beginning but handbag at the end.In any case, that was a brave thing to write, and I hope you forgive your youthful self.

所以你把钱花在公路旅行还是手提包上？因为你在开始的时候说的是公路旅行，结尾时却说买了包。无论如何，你写出这篇文章的勇气让人钦佩，我希望你能原谅当初那个年轻的自己。

Zelda Rudd
It was intended to be for the road trip but, as I wrote, I ended up with more money than I expected to have so I bought a bag and a pair of shoes

这些钱本来是为公路旅行准备的，但是正如我之前所写的那样，我最终得到的钱比我预想的要更多，所以我还买了一个包以及一双鞋。

I was a molester. I abused more girls than I can even remember. So here is my story.I was 16 and being from a small town in India female interaction was limited. So i guess my frustration came out the wrong way. I was 16 when one of my friend passed a comment on a girl. I don’t know why i found it kinda cool. Soon i was on the same path.

我曾是一个性骚扰者。我欺凌过的女孩多到我自己都记不清了。这就是我的故事。当时16岁的我来自一个印度小镇，我与女性的交流机会十分有限。所以我想我受到的挫折以一种错误的方式迸发了出去。我当时16岁，我的一位朋友言语调戏了一个女孩。不知为何，我感觉这有点酷。所以不久之后，我也走上了同样的道路。

Mostly the harassment was verbal like passing comments, whistling n stuff. Then I reached the next level. I was always a good driver. So at night i would take my Dad’s bike and went out to do my thing. I started harassing girls physically. A slap on her ass was no big deal for me. And yes i was only 16.

刚开始时大部分骚扰都是口头上的，比如对女孩说些流氓话，吹吹口哨之类的。接着我发展到了下一个阶段。我一直以来都是一位好司机。所以每天晚上我会骑着老爹的摩托车出去找自己的乐子。我开始用身体骚扰女孩。拍女孩子的屁股对我而言并没有什么大不了。是的，那时候的我才16岁。

One day I was on my “hunting trip”. I said something to a girl and she started to cry a little. The bike was not very fast and she was alone on the road. I could see tears roll down her eyes. She must be at least 20. That was the moment when my whole world came crumbling down on me.

某日，我一如往常开始我的“狩猎之旅”。我对一个女孩子说了些什么，然而她便开始哭了起来。我的摩托车开得不快，而整条路上只有她一个人。我能看见眼泪从她的眼中滚落下来。我肯定她至少20岁了。在那一刻，我的整个世界都崩塌了。

Seeing her cry made me realize what a horrible person i was. For the first time my heart was beating faster. I couldn’t sleep that night. Also cried a little. I realized what i was doing just for “fun” was so devastating for someone else. I realized how selfish i was. I couldn’t look myself in the mirror. I stayed in my house for a week afraid that i may see her again. It was a nightmare.

看着她哭泣使我意识到自己是一个多么可怕的人。我的心跳第一次因此加快了。当天晚上我怎么也睡不着。我也哭了一下下。我意识到自己那些仅仅是为“取乐”而做的事情将对其他人造成毁灭性的伤害。我意识到自己是多么的自私，我甚至没法去看镜中的自己。我害怕再次见到她，所以在自己家中呆了一个星期。那简直是一场噩梦。

Fast forward, i gathered myself and went out of the house a completely changed man. That was the last time i did anything like that.

时光飞逝，我后来再次振作了起来，走出家门，完全变成了另一个人。而那是我最后一次出那样的事情。

I am 25 now. It’s been more than 9 years. I had a few girlfriends and the relationship i had with them were great. Although i eventually broke up with them but none of them can say that i didn’t respect them. I offer my seats in metro to girls if the metro is crowded and they are uncomfortable. I maintain my distance and make sure i don’t touch any girl in a crowded place by mistake.

如今我已经25岁了，已经过去9年多了。我交过几个女朋友，我和她们之间的关系都非常不错。虽然我最终和她们分手了，但是她们当中不会有任何人说我并不尊重她们。我会在地铁里给女孩子让座，如果地铁很拥挤，并让她们感觉不适的话。我在任何拥挤的地方都会确保和女孩子保持足够的距离，以免自己不小心碰到她们。

I try to be a better person. I am not proud of the fact that i have changed as this is not something to be proud of. I should have been this way from the very beginning.Even after 9 years i sometimes hate myself for being such a guy.

我试着成为一个更优秀的人。我不会为自己所做出的改变感到骄傲，因为这并非什么值得骄傲的事情。我应该从一开始就这样。即便9年过去了，我有时候还是讨厌自己当初是那样一个人。
