【内容提示】

精装的爱
大约两个月未光顾理发店，脑后的头发便扫过了衣领。我“蓄留”长发绝对不是想去赶时髦。自从业余自修法文以来，我确实没有闲暇和心思修整边幅。
但是，爱美之心，人皆有之。何况我是一个正当青春年华的小伙子。今天我下狠心挤了半天时间，到公园来观赏菊展，还打算回去时顺便去理理发。
步出菊展会，浑身上下似乎还散发着醉人的馨香，心旷神怡，竟想觅一处幽静之处小憩，回味一番这美的享受。于是，我沿着卵石铺就的曲径缓步而行。
绿荫掩映的地方，一张长椅空着。刚坐下，裤管下端被长椅上一颗小钉挂了一个直角破口。我并不十分惋惜，这是我第一条，也是最后一条喇叭裤。就在我埋头检查破口时，却在长椅下边拾到一本书。
这是一本精装书。封面上有一排赫然醒目的烫金法文，是有关教育的论著。不知是谁不小心丢失的。逛公园都手不释卷，难得！光这种精神就使我感到脸红，肃然起敬。尽管我对教育学没有一点知识，但因学了点法文，便忍不住随手翻阅，想检验一下自己的学习成果。
有脚步声。一对男女青年朝我这儿走来。像是在寻找什么东西。
“请问，您在这儿见过一本书吗？”男青年盯了一眼摊在我腿上的书，很有礼貌地问。
我微笑地打量着他：五官端正，皮肤白皙，朴实的学生头，鼻梁上架了一副可以把任何人都衬托得几分斯文的玳瑁眼镜，一套洗得稍稍泛白的中山装，紧系着风纪扣。
“是本外文书吗？”我和蔼地问。
“对！对！是本精装的德文书。”男青年身边那位满脸稚气的姑娘抢着回答，还飞快地把目光在我和她恋人身上轮番扫瞄。显然，她在比较中更为自己有这么一位博学的朋友感到荣耀。“德文书？！”我惊愕不已，疑心是否听错。“对，是德文书。”男青年神情十分镇定，还补充说：“是关于文学方面的，不知你对外文…… ”他的目光透过平光镜片，已有几分鄙夷不屑了。

“是这本书吗？”我猛地合上摊在腿上的书，递到男青年面前。
“就是，就是这本书！”又是那位稚气的姑娘，她欢欣得几乎要雀跃起来。
“谢谢……”男青年伸出了手。
我的手反倒缩回了：
“你弄错了，这是一本法文书，内容是关于教育学的。你，拿去吧！”
几分惶恐在男青年脸上掠过，他迅速地从我手上抓过精装书，对正在十分惊讶和纳闷的姑娘说：
“我们走……跟这种人有什么纠缠头……”
“他，他说是法文……”姑娘想弄明白，但毕竟还是挪动了脚步。
“哼，他懂什么外文，你没见他那副打扮，长头发，喇叭裤，看了就让人恶心！”男青年拽着姑娘的胳膊，边说边走。
姑娘不住地点着头。
望着他们渐渐远去的身影，我突然产生了一种深深的怜悯。

Books and Appearance
I found half of the day to visit a flower show and had my long hair cut. Coming out of the show, I walked along until I came to a park bench. I sat down to allow myself some leisure for the first time since I started learning French two months before.
Then a book lying in the grass nearby caught my eye. I picked it up. It was a French book in excellent binding①. As I turned the pages quickly, a young couple came up to ask if I had seen a book in German. Wrongly understanding my expression on my face, the young man, who seemed well-educated, added that it was a book in literature.
I held out the book and explained it was a French book on education. The man was so troubled by what I said that he took it away from my hand in a hurry.
As they turned to go away, I heard the man speaking: “What do you expect? A guy② with long hair and in bell-bottom trousers③ can＇t tell German from French.”
The girl nodded in agreement, but I was wondering if she would ever find out what was going on. (197 words)
