THE WALLFLOWER 壁花

Usually a shy, submissive person who holds the glass protectively, not letting go, as though afraid somebody will take it away. The drink is never quite finished, with a mouthful left in case of emergency.
這是屬于害羞、順從的一類人。他們保護性地拿酒杯，往往不會輕易讓酒杯離手，似乎擔心其他人會把酒杯奪走。他們杯里的酒總是喝不完，他們總會留著這么一口應急用。

The drink is small. It may be drunk through a straw, which is fidgeted with, and used to stir the drink between sips.
他們總是點小杯的酒，喝酒時愛用吸管。他們時而擺弄吸管，時而用吸管攪動一下杯中的飲料。

This individual needs to be approached in a gentle, sensitive way, with perhaps a few understated compliments to build self-confidence, but may eventually warm to overtures.
接近這類人需要使用溫和、敏感的方式，或許用一些不夸張的恭維之詞建立他們的自信心，讓彼此熟悉起來。
