They were looking at me with eyes wide open, like …and they even wondered how in the world I could ever have fallen in love with her!
你知道吗，我真不明白中国人的审美标准。我是说，我问过几个看到过我女朋友的中国男人。我问他们，她难道不漂亮吗？他们看着我，眼睛睁得圆圆的，像……而且他们还想知道我怎么会竟然爱上了她！
- bI understand. I’ve heard quite a few people say that most Chinese women that foreigners have chosen are not pretty at all. I know I’m one of those that they were describing. I’m surely not beautiful.
我明白。我已听好几个人说过大部分外国人选择的中国女人一点都不漂亮。我知道我就是他们所说的其中之一。我是无疑不漂亮的。

哦，别这样，尽管你嫁给了个老外，你还没那么丑！

我是说我认为我的女朋友很漂亮，而且很可爱。她有红扑扑的脸颊，而且她那很有光泽的头发还被剪得齐齐的。很漂亮，很迷人。

中国人不会注意到这样的事。艾米，那句话是怎么说的？
