What Does His Locker Say About Him?|观其柜知其人

[英语应用文]

※ Spic-and-Span2 Man
This boy keeps his things super-tidy. His locker is strictly functional3, but don't mistake its bare interior for a boring personality: He's as organized as he is a well-mannered gentleman. But his organized ways reveal a guy who needs to know that he can depend on things being where he expects them to be. If you want to get his attention, slip4  a note into his locker—he'll be sure to find it!

  “完美”先生
这种男生把东西收拾得超整洁。他的储物柜完全各司其职,但是可别以为柜子里空无装饰就证明他是个无趣之人:他不但有条不紊,还是个举止得体的绅士呢。不过他的井井有条说明他这个人有必要知道所有物品各就各位,方可完全放心。如果想要他注意你,往他的储物柜里塞张便条——他肯定会发现的!
※ Sports Buff5
This sports fanatic has everything from pictures to clipping up in his locker. He's an enthusiastic, active guy who truly enjoys finding out everything he cares about. He's always happy doing things at the spur of the moment6, but he also likes to be somewhat prepared. Ask him about his fave7  team or sport, but don't pretend to know more than you do—he'll know!

  运动迷
这种运动狂的储物柜里从照片到剪报样样都有。他是个热情活跃的人,绝对乐于搜寻一切他关心的赛事。他一向高兴凭冲动行事,不过也喜欢有所准备。问问他最喜欢的球队或运动是什么,可千万不要不懂装懂——他可什么都知道!

※ Chaotic Cutie8
The one thing that's more jam-packed9 than this boy's locker is his schedule! Keeping busy is his way of feeling accomplished and valuable—and he is! But he's not out of control. His belongings look like a complete disaster, but he knows exactly where everything is. Like his locker, this cutie gives people the wrong impression, which makes it difficult to read him. Ask about his latest projects or offer to help him out!

  无序靓仔
这种男生的储物柜总是塞得满满的,可他的时间表排得还要满!繁忙让他感到自己有成就、有价值——的确如此!不过他也不是完全乱了套。虽然他的东西杂乱无章,但他一准清楚每件东西在哪儿。像他的储物柜一样,这种靓仔往往给人以错误的印象,让人搞不懂他。不妨问问他最近在忙什么,或者主动帮帮他!

※ Band Boy
You can see his locker clear across the hall, and judging by the many stickers and used concert tickets he has up on his door, there's absolutely no mistaking which bands he digs the most. He's passionate about his music! This boy doesn't keep tons of stuff in his locker, which shows that he doesn't have a lot of baggage—in other words, he's drama free!

  乐迷
在大厅这头你就可以远远看到他的柜子了。从柜门上众多的不干胶贴和旧音乐会门票看,你绝对不会弄错他最爱的乐队是哪些。他对他的音乐充满了激情!这样的男生不会在他的储物柜里堆满东西,这说明他没有太多行头——也就是说,他真真实实不做戏噢!
