Love is a fallacy By Max Shulman
… I had long coveted Polly Espy. Let me emphasize that my desire for this young woman was not emotional in nature. She was, to be sure, a girl who excited the emotions, but I was not the one to let my heart rule my head. I wanted Polly for shrewdly calculated, entirely cerebral reasons.
I was a freshman in law school. In a few years I would be out in practice. I was well aware of the importance of the right kind of wife in furthering a lawyer’s career. The successful lawyers I had observed were almost without exception, married to beautiful, gracious, intelligent women. With one omission Polly fitted these specifications perfectly.
Beautiful she was. She was not yet of pin-up proportions, but I felt sure that time would supply the lack. She already had the makings.
Gracious she was. By gracious I mean full of graces. She had an erectness of carriage, an ease of bearing, a poise, that clearly indicated the best breeding. At table her manners were exquisite.
Intelligent she was not. In fact, she veered in the opposite direction. But I believed that under my guidance she would smarten up. At any rate, it was worth a try. It is, after all, easier to make a beautiful dumb girl smart than to make an ugly smart girl beautiful.
My first date with Polly was in the nature of a survey, I wanted to find out how much work I had to do to get her mind up to the standard I required. I took her first to dinner.
Notes: cerebral – (зд.) по рассудку (мед. термин «мозговой»);
law school – юридический факультет университета;
she would smarten up (coll.) – она поумнеет.
Ex.7. Answer the following questions.
1. What do you mean about the title of the story? 2. Name the characters of this story. 3. What was the relationship between Polly Espy and the hero? 4. What was he? 5. What was she? 6. Do you think that they loved each other? (use I think that; As far as you know; As a matter of fact). 7. Do you believe that the future lawer should have a beautiful, intelligent woman?
Ex.8. Describe the main characters of this story using these sentences.
a) I had long coveted Polly Espy. b) She was a girl who excited the emotions. c) He was not the one to let my heart rule my head. d) He wanted Polly for shrewdly calculated, entirely cerebral reasons. e) I was a freshman in law school. f) The successful lawyers were almost without exception, married beautiful, gracious, intelligent women. g) She was full of graces. h) Intelligent she was not. i) But I believed that under my guidance she would smarten up. j) He wanted to find out how much work he had to do to get her mind up to the standard I required.
Ex.9. Translate the character description.
The new man in the office seemed very agreeable and confident in himself. He was certainly ambitious but at the same respectful of his co-workers. His self-reliant and straight forward mannerisms gave him a competitive advantage when compared with his co-workers.
One of his co-workers was obviously selfish and arrogant. He was the salesman of the team and was expected to be detached and practical-minded. Rather, he was subject to such mood swings as to make him totally unpredictable. At times he could even appear to be casual, warm-hearted, self-blaming, regretful, submissive and with drawn. He could be almost affectionate.
