The Way Women Withers

  At the age of twenty,wearing a jeans jumper,i moved about on the campus,my face blushing the moment i had the inclination to make an utterance.At the age of thirty,I,wearing a famous-brand suit and a cold look,reproach my subordinate bluntly,"How can you go so far as to raise a silly,mindless question?"

  At the age of twenty,i borrowed books from the library like Shakespeare's Complete Works,A Portrait of Artist as a Young Man,Ulysses.After thirty,on my beside,lie such books as The Recipe on Stocks,ELLE and Manager's Charm .

  At the age of twenty,i ran into the young man whom i loved in private in the street of my hometown.Upon hearing that he had been enrolled as a graduate,i was virtually dealt a heavy blow,believing reluctantly so painfull a fact that i could never do well enough to win his favor,bitter tears streaming down my cheeks.After thirty,i busy myself here and there,inquiring where i could buy an MBA diploma.

 At the age of twenty,i was so ready to reveal my age,telling people about my age frequently before they inquired.After thirty,age became a taboo to me.If somebody is so nosy,i respond,,"Guess."

  At the age of twenty,i did long to date with the boys from either physical education or the art department.After thirty,it seems so unbelievable that i once idiotically possessed that thought.

  At the age of twenty,bookstore was a must for me,and i was a big book buyer.While after thirty,paying no attention to the bookstore,i breeze into the beauty parlor next door.

  At the age of twenty,while  talking with my mother over the phone.I wanted to hang  up before my mother had finished a few words.After thirty the voice of Mom invariably triggers my crying,"Mom,your worries about my marrige have all come true."

  At the age of twenty,i dashed forward without any concern for the passing days and years.In my thirties, i strive to hang on to every moment. Unfortunately,another New Year looms on the horizon.

   At the age of twenty,it's better to be famous before it's too late,i believed, What would be the spice of life for a person  deserted by fame wnen appoaching thirty?After thirty,fame seems still beyond reach, yet being as rich as my boss at forty becomes my new dream.

  At the age of twenty, i felt so contented sandwiched in a jammed bus,eating ice cream.After thirty, even a sight of shabby and sordid taxi may sicken me.Ok!When the oil price gose down,i'll buy a car,drive along   the road of Well -To-Do.

  At the age of twenty, i bet that i would never reside in one city the rest of my life.I'd choose to live in different places.After i thirty,i run off my legs searching for an apartment, satisfying and cheap.

  At the age of twenty, while reading a novel, i abandoned myself to the chapters exclusively devoted to romance.After thirty, i dubbed myself as "No Mention of Love."in the  internetchat-room.

  At the age of twenty, upon hearing a celebrity, i would rush forward,hot-blooded,jumping for joy. After i thirty, upon hearing the celebrities,i feel lost, especially the names of those famous females, who are young and pretty.

  At the age of twenty, one evening,i went to see a film.In the darkness,an incidental touch of hands filled me with joy all the summer.I am thirty,sitting the rotating restaurant of Shangri-Li Hotel,accompanying clients having a buffet.In the slow rotating,an indescribable amptiness,all of a sudden, seizes me, and i find everying dull and dry.

                                   一个女人是这样变老的

      二十岁的时候,我穿着一条背心式牛仔裙在 校园里走来走去,一说话就脸红。三十岁的我穿着名牌套装，坐在办公桌前，满脸冷酷地对下属说，“这么愚蠢的问题你也敢问？也不先打个草稿。”

    二十岁的时候，从图书馆借的是《莎士比亚全集》、《一个青年艺术家的自画像》和《尤里西斯》。三十岁之后，床头摆的是《跟庄秘笈》、ELLE和《经理的个人魅力》。

   二十岁的暑假，在家乡的大街上偶遇自己的暗恋对象，听说他考上了研究生，被他的进步所打击，心如刀绞，想到这辈子再不能出色得让他看我一眼，不禁怆然泪下。三十岁之后，到处打听哪里可以买个MBA。

     二十岁的时候，随时随地向人透露我的年龄，答得比问的还快。三十岁之后，最恨别人问年龄，你要是非问不可，你猜呀。

     二十岁的时候，一心想和体育系、美术系的男生约会。三十岁之后，我简直认为自己当年是白痴。

     二十岁的时候，有书店必逛，有书必买。三十岁之后，对书店视而不见，直接去了隔壁的美容院。

     二十岁的时候，老妈打电话，不等说完三句就恨不能挂了电话。三十岁之后，一听到妈的声音就禁不住哭出声来：“妈，您老所有的担心现在都应验了、、、、、、”

      二十岁的时候，我直想往前冲，谁也别挡我。三十岁之后，我直想赖着不走啊，又快过年了。

     二十岁的时候，我想出名要趁早，一个人到了三十岁还籍籍无名那还活个什么劲呀？三十岁之后，名是不指望了，只希望在四十岁的时候像我老板一样有钱。

     二十岁的时候，挤在人头攒动的公共大巴上，吃着甜筒，挺开心。三十岁之后，看见破旧肮脏的出租车都心烦，拜托！油价一跌，就去买车吧，一路开往小康。

     二十岁的时候，打赌说这辈子我都不可能土到死守在一个地方，生活在别处嘛。三十岁之后，我为了在这座城市买个满意又便宜的房子跑断了双腿。

     二十岁的时候，看小说专挑和爱情有关的情节看。三十岁之后，我在聊天室里的代号是“不谈爱情”。

     二十岁的时候，一听到名人就激动不已，就欢呼雀跃，就奋不顾身往前冲。三十岁 之后，一听到名人就若有所失，就心烦意乱，就怒火中烧，就、、、、、、不知道什么滋味，特别是年轻的，漂亮的女名人。

      二十岁的时候，和某个人一起去看了电影，不经意中拉了一下手，结果幸福了整整一个夏天。三十岁之后，坐在香格里拉酒店的旋转餐厅陪客户吃自助餐，在缓缓的转动中，莫名其妙地一阵空虚，突然间读一切感到索然无味、、、、、、
