蛋白質女孩 ( 作者:王文華 ) 2000
像蛋白質一樣,她健康、純淨、營養、圓滿,和她在一起會長的又高又壯。
她早起,起床後先跑半小時,吃了麥片才去公司。
她賢慧,每天做一打火腿三明治,帶到公司請同事們吃。
她準時,和你約會前一天打電話確認。
她純情,「愛」像宋詞唐詩,意境優美對仗工整;「性」像阿拉伯文,她知道它的存在卻不懂是什麼意思。
她有禮,咀嚼食物時嘴巴從不張開,交叉的雙腿一定用裙子蓋起來。
她浪漫,最喜歡的電影是《第凡內早餐》

The Proteinoid Girl
Like protein, she is healthy, pure, nutritious, and wholesome. Being associated with her would make you grow tall and strong.
She makes it a habit to wake up early in the morning, jogs for half an hour, and has a bowl of cereal before going to the office.
She is virtuous and graceful, every day she makes a dozen ham sandwiches and treats her colleagues.
She is punctual. Whenever she has as appointment with you, she will confirm with you over the phone one day in advance.
She is pure and innocent. To her, love is like Tang poetry and Song Ci, elegant in imagery and perfect in parallelism. Sex to her is like Arabic; she knows of its existence but hasn't got a clue as to what it means.
She is courteous and perfect in her etiquette, she never opens her mouth when chewing, and she would always cover up her crossed legs properly under her skirt.
She is romantic. Her favorite movie is Breakfast at Tiffany.
She has a strong will. On a certain occasion, when she caught me having an intimate affair with an intern on my desk, she even pretended that she didn't notice us and crouched down as if trying to pick up a pen that I had dropped on the floor.
