她不得不告诉某人,马修会做。她知道,他不会特别感兴趣,但无论如何她会告诉他。她必须分享自己的喜悦,因为卢(Lou)知道,乔伊(Lou)unshared是一种一半的情感,就像一个独自出生时,同样是悲伤和失落,经常被加倍。(She had to tell somebody, and Matthew would do. He would not be particularly interested, she knew, but she would tell him anyway. She had to share her joy, as Lou knew that joy unshared was a halved emotion, just as sadness and loss, when borne alone, were often doubled.)
