Excuse me?

什么？

That's why you don't like me. When we first met, I-I looked at your breasts.

你就是因此才不喜欢我。我们第一次见面的时候，我看了你的胸。

Seriously?

是吗？

That's all I could come up with.

我只能想到这个原因。

I was pleasant and personable, I showed a reasonable amount of intelligence, I'm good-looking, I have a healthy ego⁴.

我彬彬有礼，英俊优雅，也适度展示了自己的知识储备，我长得帅，又有自信。

The only wrong move I made was when my eyes lingered in your upper torso area for a second too long it triggered an instant dislike for me. How do I fix that?

我唯一做错的事就是眼神在你的上半身停留的时间过长，于是导致你对我的不满。这该怎么弥补？

Why did you do it?

你为什么要这样？

You're wearing a silk blouse, hint of a bra, red fingernail polish.

你穿着丝绸衬衫，内衣边缘若隐若现，还涂着红色指甲。

I took the male leap that it was meant to be noticed and let my eyes lingering hopes that you would be flattered. I miscalculated.

作为一名男性，我以为你是故意如此，于是就让眼神停留了一会，以为你会开心。是我失策了。

And it just got worse.
