概述：
        里奇不仅不是华人，而且他还比我小几岁。更糟的是，由于他那头红色的卷发、光洁白晰的皮肤以及鼻子两边一片桔黄色的雀斑，他看上去比我年轻了很多。。。
        Hints:
        Rich
I tried to anticipate what criticisms she would have.
Rich was not only not Chinese, he was also my junior, a few years younger than I was. And unfortunately, he looked much younger with his curly red hair, smooth pale skin, and the splash of orange freckles across his nose. He was a bit on the short side, compactly built. In his dark business suits, he looked nice but easily forgettable, like somebody's nephew at a funeral. This was why I didn't notice him the first year we worked together at the firm. But, my mother noticed everything.
"So what do you think of Rich?" I finally asked, holding my breath.我尽力设想她会有哪些不满意的地方。
里奇不仅不是华人，而且他还比我小几岁。更糟的是，由于他那头红色的卷发、光洁白晰的皮肤以及鼻子两边一片桔黄色的雀斑，他看上去比我年轻了很多。他稍微矮了一点，长得很结实。他身穿深色套装，看上去讨人喜欢，但让人过眼就忘，就像追悼会上遇见的某个人的侄子。这就是为什么我们在公司里一起工作的第一年里我没有注意到他的原因。但是我妈妈却把一切都看在了眼里。
“你认为里奇怎么样？”终于，我屏住呼吸问道。
