其实我还有一个哥哥。九个字,我已深思熟虑了一辈子,才造出这个句子。“其实”说明这是个秘密;“还有”表示一个暧昧的存在;“哥哥”就是哥哥,一个亲人的称呼,但是放在这里,就有了八卦的气息。从童年起,我就在想,若有一天,我有机会向人吐露这个秘密的时候,我该怎样用最简洁、最精准,以及最煞有介事的方式表达。 In fact, I still have a brother. Nine words, I have thought for a lifetime, before making this sentence. “In fact ” shows that this is a secret; “And ” said an ambiguous existence; “brother ” is the brother, a relative’s name, but here, there is a gossip. As a child, I was thinking of how one day, when I had the opportunity to reveal this secret to others, how can I express it in the simplest, most precise and most significant way.
