602　Wrong Direction 算错方向

When I was a 20-something college student, I became quite friendly with my study partner, a 64-year-old man, who had returned to school to finish his degree. He confessed he had once thought more than friendship might be a possibility. “So what changed your mind?” I asked him. “I went to my doctor and asked if he thought a 40-year age difference between a man and a woman was insurmountable. He looked at my chart and said, ‘You're interested in someone who's 104?’”

当我还是二十多岁女大学生的时候，我和我的学习搭档关系不错。他是一个64岁的老头，返回学校来完成他的学位。他坦白说，他曾经一度想过有没有可能使我们之间的关系比友谊更进一步。“那么什么事情使你改变主意了呢？”我问。“我去看我的医生，问他是不是认为男女之间相差40岁是无法克服的呢。他看了看我的病历说：‘你对104岁的人感兴趣？’”
