The Most Beautiful Girl I Had Ever Met文◎ Chong Sheau Ching    ” H i ! H o w a r e y o u ? ” T h e woman smiled as she took the seat beside me. She had to lower herself slowly, squeezing her ample bottom into the seat, filling all available space. Positioning herself comfortably, she plopped her enormous arm on our common armrest. Her immensity saturated the space around us, shrinking me and my seat into insignificance. I cringed and reclined towards the window. She repeated her greeting in an upbeat, friendly voice. “Hi.” I replied with obvious loathing. I turned away to stare out the window, sulking silently about the long hours of discomfort I was going to experience with this monster beside me.    She nudged me with her meaty arm. “My name is Laura. I’m from Britain. “”Come on, if we’re going to spend six hours side-by-side on this flight, we’d better be friends, don’t you think?” I reluctantly stayed silent, but Laura took no notice of my unfriendly reactions. Instead, she started talking excitedly about herself and rattled on about her friends waiting for her now at our mutual destination; Indonesia. I only gave one-word answers to her questions about me. Unperturbed by my coldness, she nodded as she made appreciative comments to them. She was particularly considerate and obliging when we were served drinks and meals, making sure that I had room to manoeuvre in my seat. “I don’t want to clobber you with my elephant size!” she said with utmost sincerity.    After an hour or so, I couldn’t help but let down my guard slowly. As much as she had repulsed me in the beginning, she was an interesting conversationalist. She was well-read in many subjects, from philosophy to science. Her comments were humorous and inspirational.”Have you ever thought about losing some weight?” I finally dared to ask after a while. “No. I’ve worked hard to get this way. Why would I want to give it up?” “You aren’t worried about cardiovascular diseases that come with being overweight?”    “Not at all. You only get the diseases if you’re worried about y o u r weight all the time, b u t there is more in life than worrying about your weight. You always see advertisements from slimming centres that say: ‘Liberate yourself from your extra baggage so that you are free to be yourself.’ It’s rubbish! You’re liberated only if you’re comfortable with who you are as a person and what you do. Why would I want to waste my time on slimming regimes when I have so many other important things to do and so many people to be friends with?”    “Folks often see me as a fat lady with big bosoms, big thighs and a big bottom. They see me as a slob. They think I’m lazy and have no willpower. They’re wrong. I eat healthily and walk regularly, and I’m actually a slim person on the inside. I’m just so full of energy that people won’t be able to keep up with me if I wasn’t this size.”    Our enthralling conversations had turned my flight into something thoroughly enjoyable. At the arrival lounge of Indonesia Capital Airport, we said goodbye. I watched her walking towards a big group of adoring adults and kids. Cheers sounded. Then, she turned around and winked at me. I was stunned, as the realisation set in: Laura was the most beautiful woman I had ever met in my life.我见过的漂亮的 文◎宗筱清    “嗨，你好！” 这个女士一边坐在我旁边一边微笑着说。她必须慢慢地沉下身去，将她宽大的臀部挤入座位中，填满可用的空间。她坐舒坦之后，把她的粗大的胳膊“扑通”一声落在我们共用的扶手上。她的宽大体形渗透到我们周围的空间，也使我和我的座位缩小到可以无视的状态。我畏缩地靠向窗子。她用愉快的声音又问候了一遍。 “嗨。”我以明显的厌恶的口气回答道。然后我转过头凝望着窗外，为将要和我旁边这个怪兽度过一段漫长时间的折磨人的旅程而生着闷气。    她用她肉肉的胳膊肘推了推我。“我名叫罗拉，来自英国。” “来嘛，如果我们将在这个航班上一起度过六个小时的话，我们好能成为朋友，你觉得呢？”我很勉强地保持着沉默，但是罗拉对我不友好的反应毫不在意。反而，她开始很兴奋地谈关于她自己的事 , 而且喋喋不休地说她的朋友正在我们共同的目的地印度尼西亚等候她。我对她的关于我的问题只用一个单词回答。她对我的冷漠泰然自若，一边对我的回答做出赞赏的表态一边点头。当送上餐饮服务时她表现得尤其体贴和有礼貌，确保我在座位上有活动的空间。“我不想用我大象般的体形使你为难！”她说的时候带着极大的真诚。     大约过了一个小时，我忍不住慢慢放松了我的戒备之心。就像她一开始用体形击溃了我一样，她也是一个很有趣的聊天伙伴。她在很多科目上都有所涉猎，从哲学到科学。她的观点也幽默且鼓舞人心。“你想过减减体重吗？”过了一会儿我终于斗胆问了她。“不。我费很大劲儿才到这种程度。我为什么要放弃呢？” “你就不担心伴随肥胖而来的心血管疾病吗？”    “完全不用。如果你总是担心你的体重你才会得这种病， 但是生活中有比担心自己的体重更多的东西。你们总是从瘦身中心看到这样的广告：把你自己从额外的包袱中解放出来，你才能自由地做自己。这简直是胡说！只有当你为自己的生活方式和所作所为感到舒服的时候，自己才会真正地被解放。为什么我得在我有很多其他重要事情做的时候，有很多朋友可以结交的时候去浪费时间在瘦身养生的事情上？    “人们常将我看作一个有大胸脯、大粗腿和大屁股的胖女人。他们把我看作懒人。他们认为我懒惰且没有意志力。但他们错了。我饮食健康且经常散步， 其实我内心里是一个很苗条的人。我就是浑身充满能量，如果我不是这种体形的话一般人不会追得上我。”    我们这段愉快的聊天使我的飞行变得十分开心。在印度尼西亚首都机场的抵达大厅，我们相互道别。 我看着她走向一大群敬慕她的大人和孩子，他们欢呼雀跃。然后，她转过身并向我眨了眨眼睛。我被震惊了，这才意识到：罗拉是我生命中见过的美丽的女士。
