試讀某書

最近趁着書店九折卡期限將至，把握最後機會北上掃書，結果花了100+買了本盜版英文書。現將該書第一小節摘抄如下，與各位共享。（雖然全是雞腸，其實木有甚麼難字，我是站在書店裡看完此段的。讀書們都比我有文化，應該看得懂。）



Imagine that men are from Mars and women are from Venus（金星）. One day long ago the Martians, looking through their telescopes（望遠鏡）, discovered the Venusians. Just glimpsing（瞥見） the Venusians awakened feelings they had never known. They fell in love and quickly invented space travel and flew to Venus.

The Venusians welcomed the Martians with open arms. They had intuitively（直觀地） known that this day would come. Their hearts opened wide to a love they had never felt before.

The love between the Venusians and Martians was magical. They delighted in being together, doing things together, and sharing together. Though from different worlds, they revelled（陶醉） in their differences. They spent months learning about each other, exploring and appreciating their different needs, preferences, and behaviour patterns. For years they lived together in love and harmony.

Then they decided to fly to Earth. In the beginning everything was wonderful and beautiful. But the effects of Earth's atmosphere took hold, and one morning everyone woke up with a peculiar（奇特的） kind of amnesia（失憶） - selective amnesia!

Both the Martians and Venusians forgot that they were from different planets and were supposed to be different. In one morning everything they had learned about their differences was erased（清除） from their memory. And since that day men and women have been in conflict（衝突）.
