佛罗伦萨·阿里萨（Florentino Ariza）以如此热情的热情写了一切，甚至官方文件似乎都与爱有关。无论他如何试图避免，他的订单账单都是押韵的，而且常规的商业信件具有抒情的精神，削弱了他们的权威。
(Florentino Ariza wrote everything with so much passion that even official documents seem to be about love. His bills of lading were rhymed no matter how he tried to avoid it, and routine business letters had a lyrical spirit that diminished their authority.)
