I cannot tell you how many times I have been called upon to explain my utter and complete lack of boyfriend. Typically, I alternate between two main responses, which are 1) shrugging and 2) making noncommittal mouth sounds. 我數不出來我被問了多少次為什麼我沒有男朋友，基 本上，我有兩種回答，分別是 1) 聳肩和 2) 用嘴巴發出不表態的聲音。 It almost always happens at family parties, and the question usually comes after "How's school?" but before "How is [friend I haven’t spoken to in about ten years and who may as well be dead to me]?" 這種情形常常在家庭聚會時常常發生，而且這些問題通常都會在問完「在學校過得怎麼樣？」之 後接著，但會在「那個（十年沒說過半句話對我而言如同死人一般的朋友）過得怎麼樣？」的問題之前。 You ’ ve been there. I can tell. But hey, since we ’ re going to be parrying these questions at every family gathering and holiday party from now until the day we die, we might as well be ready.
