茜拉

朋友们一个接着一个走到中岛风格（Nakashima-style）的餐桌前，向茜拉表示祝贺。

One by one , friends made their way over to the Nakashima-style wood dining table to offer congratulations .

他们几乎不约而同地注意到：之前的布鲁斯愤世嫉俗、孤僻、爱嘲讽，而茜拉却温婉活泼。

Almost unanimously , they noted that Bruce had been cynical , withdrawn and biting , while Sheela is soft and effervescent .

这真是再应景不过了。第二天早上，茜拉——她之前的名字是布鲁斯——就要飞到亚利桑那州的斯克茨戴尔完成她从男性变为女性的最后一步：变性手术。

Which was fitting enough , because the following morning , Sheela - formerly known as Bruce - was scheduled to fly to Scottsdale , Ariz. , for the last major procedure in her transition from male to female : gender reassignment surgery .

你把孩子们甩下去了！我说，啊，不会吧！你也把洁茜小姐和弗劳拉小姐甩下去了？

You threw the children off ！ I sald . Oh ， no ！ Did you throw Miss Flora or Miss Jessie ？

高顿夫妇的邻居，布劳姆菲尔德先生，有一个大家庭。他有许多孩子，他们经常来和洁茜小姐、弗劳拉小姐玩儿。

Aneighbour of the Gordons ， Mr Blomefield ， had a large family of boys and girls who often came to play with Miss Jessie and Miss Flora .
