84.The Goddess
84.女神
When Yolanda came into the fitness center, the men were fit to be tied.
當約蘭達來到健身中心的時候，那里的男人們都十分惱火。
One ran to fix up a drink for her, another just stared, and two others flipped a coin to see who would try to talk to her first.
一位男人跑過去為她準備了一杯飲料，另一個則干瞪著眼，還有兩個擲硬幣看誰第一個去找她說話。
When they overheard that she was an airline stewardess, one even joked that he was going to book a flight reservation that afternoon.
當他們偷聽到她是個空姐時，一位男士甚至開玩笑說他要預訂那天下午的機票。
She was a flat out goddess, walking the earth in flesh and blood!
她是一個徹頭徹尾的女神，簡直就是現實中的御女！
But none of them filled the bill for Yolanda. She just wanted to exercise!
但是他們誰都不適合約蘭達，她只想鍛煉身體！
And she was never interested in the flora and fauna of an exercise center.

She was fishing for a much bigger catch.

She would flatter them and let them fix a snack or two for her.
她會拍他們的馬屁，讓他們時不時替她安排快餐。
Then she would never find the time to actually fit them in for an appointment.
然后她卻永遠找不到時間為他們安排約會。
They would all flash out soon after that.
這樣一來很快他們都會氣瘋的！
There was only one man she would fit in to her life，John F. Kennedy, Jr., the son of the assassinated president.
她只會讓一位男士走入她的生活，那便是小約翰·F·肯尼迪，也就是那位遇刺總統的兒子。
He was the most eligible bachelor in New York and she was drtermined to win him.
他是紐約最使人中意的單身漢，她決心把他追到手。
But she hadn't met him yet.
可是她還沒有見過他。
She had seen his jet fly by one time, but that was as close as she had ever gotten to him before.
有次她看到過他的噴氣式飛機飛過，跟她以前和他保持的距離差不多。
She would meet him some day. And then she would fly high as his girlfriend.

Let these groveling idiots drool over me then, she thought to herself.
就讓這些卑躬屈膝的笨蛋對我垂涎三尺吧，她這樣想著。
And then she went back to exercising.
然后她就回去鍛煉去了。
