Apple’s continued glory eats away at me like a maggot at my core. I long for it to pick up some bruises. When the iPad came out, I prayed that it would be awful. My prayers were not heard: like all Apple products, it is sleek and gorgeous, and in due course I shall go to one of its wondrous temples of consumption and grumpily buy one.
苹果(Apple)一直以来的荣耀，就像蛆虫一样啃噬着我的心。我期待它会绊几个跟头。iPad问世时，我祈祷它会丑陋不堪。我的祷告并不灵验：如同所有苹果产品一样，iPad时尚雅致，光彩夺目。我还是赶紧去苹果那神奇的消费殿堂，咬牙切齿地买上一部吧。

探討女性情感關係的小說:
The Aga Saga is a sub-genre of the family saga of literature. The genre is named for the AGA cooker, a type of stored-heat oven that came to be popular in medium to large country houses in the UK after its introduction in 1929. It refers primarily to fictional family sagas dealing with British "middle-class country or village life".^[1] The nickname "Aga Saga" is sometimes used condescendingly about this type of fiction.^[2] The term was incorporated into the Oxford Companion to English Literature in 2000.^[3]

[edit] Characteristics

While the label has been applied to settings within other genres,^[4] it is typically interpreted to refer to "a tale of illicit rumpy-pumpy in the countryside" according to a 2007 article in The Observer.^[5] In setting, according to an earlier article in that paper, it offers a "gingham-checked world" associated with "thatched English villages" and "ladies in floral dresses".^[6] Guardian book critic Laura Wilson described an Aga Saga setting as "complete with sprawling, untidy farmhouse (flagstones, dogs, Wellington boots, and much nursing of mugs of coffee)".^[7]
