(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

Although¹ I had² never met him, I knew that my grandfather had been five feet, six inches³ tall, while⁴ my stately grandmother stood⁵ five feet, eleven inches .

As⁶ a teen-ager leafing⁷ through（迅速翻阅） old photographs⁸ with grandma, I finally⁹ realized¹⁰ how unusual¹¹ they must have looked together.

"Grandma," I asked, "how could¹² you have fallen in love with a man five inches shorter than you?"

She turned to me "Honey," she said¹³, "we fell¹⁴ in love sitting down, and when I stood up, it was¹⁵ too late."

尽管我未见过祖父，不过我知道他身高只有五英尺六英寸，而我高贵典雅的祖母身高却有五英尺十一英寸。

我十几岁的时候，和祖母一起翻看着老照片，我觉得他们在一起看起来很别扭。

“奶奶，”我问道，“你怎么会爱上一个比你矮五英寸的人呢？”

她转过脸来看着我。“宝贝，”她说，“我们是坐着相爱的。当我站起来的时候，已经太晚了。”
