海伦的视力不是很好，所以她通常都戴眼镜。但17岁的时候，她开始跟一个男孩外出约会，约会的时候她从不戴眼镜。每次男孩来到她家门口带她出去，她就把眼镜摘掉，等回家后男孩走了，她再把眼镜戴上。

One day her mother said³ to her，“But Helen，why do you never wear your glasses when you are with Jim?  He takes you to beautiful places in his car, but you do not see anything.”

一天，她妈妈跟她说，“海伦，为什么你跟吉姆在一起的时侯从不戴眼镜?他开车把你带到美丽的地方去，可是你却什么都看不见。”

"Well，Mother，”said Helen，“I look prettier to Jim when I am not wearing glasses and he looks better to me too!”

“不过，妈妈，”海伦说，“我不戴眼镜的时候吉姆就会觉得我更加美丽，而且我也会觉得他更好看。”
