　　Joy ： Don't worry！ Just be there！ Mike is in the general fiction section at Page one Bookstore.

　　Mike： Here’s her favorite book， The Last Juror. Hey， what's this？ Mike finds a note inside the book.

　　Mike： “You passed the first test. Now go to the performing arts shelf and find my favorite color.” Your favorite color？ Let’s see……pink？ Purple？ Mike goes to the information desk.

　　Mike： Can you tell me where the performing arts shelf is？

　　Clerk： Sure， let me show you on this map. It's in the art and design section. Mike goes to the art and design section. He picks up a book.

　　Mike： All Music Guide to the Blues. Her favorite color is blue！ Joy walks up to Mike.

　　Joy： You passed the first two tests， “Romantic Mike”！ I'm Joy.

　　Mike： Hi Joy！ Your tests were fun， but why are you being so mysterious？

　　Joy： I just wanted to see if you were really as romantic as your name sounds.

　　Mike： I am！ And it’s certainly a “joy” to finally meet you.

　　“Joy to the World（欢欣裘伊）”和 “Romantic Mike（浪漫迈可）”在网络“爱书人”聊天室谈天。

　　裘伊：OK，我必须离线了，以后再聊。 迈可：你真的必须离开吗？跟你聊天真的很有趣呢！ 裘伊：我晚上七点半还得参加读书会。 迈可：等会儿，裘伊。我知道我们还没有见过面，但我只想告诉你一件事。 裘伊：周六早上十一点到Page One书店再说吧，可别迟到喔！ 迈可：我怎么认得出你呢？我们又没有交换过照片。 裘伊：你只要到一般小说区找出我最爱看的惊悚小说就行了。

　　迈可：你最爱看的惊悚小说？等等，是哪一本？内容是不是跟陪审团有关？ 裘伊：别担心！只要人到了就好。 迈可在Page One书店的一般小说区。

　　迈可：这就是她最爱看的书《最后的陪审员》。嘿，这是什么东西？ 迈可在书中找到一张纸条。 迈可：“你已通过第一关。现在请到表演艺术书架找出我最喜欢的颜色。”你最喜欢的颜色？让我想想……粉红色？紫色？

　　迈可走到询问台。

　　迈可：你可以告诉我表演艺术书架在哪儿吗？ 店员：当然可以，请看这张地图。就在艺术与设计区。 迈可走到艺术与设计区。他拿起一本书。 迈可：《蓝调音乐完全指南》，她最喜欢的颜色是蓝色！

　　裘伊走向迈可。 裘伊：浪漫迈可，你已通过两关测试了！我是裘伊。 迈可：嗨，裘伊！你的测试是挺好玩的，但你为什么要这么神秘呢？ 裘伊：我只是想要试试看你是否真的像你的名字一样“浪漫”。 迈可：我的确很浪漫呢！终于见到你，真令我“欢欣”不已。

　　Mike and Joy are still talking in front of the performing arts shelf.

　　Mike： Besides thrillers and blues music， what else do you like？ Joy： I love psychology！ Let me show you my favorite book by Freud. （Mike and Joy walk to the humanities1 section. Joy hands Mike the book The Interpretation of Dreams.）

　　Mike： Hey！ This is one of my favorite books， too！ Did you actually read the whole thing？ Joy： Of course！ And I keep a “dream journal” where I write down all the dreams I have each night. Mike： That's a good idea. But if you really want to understand your subconscious， you have to read Freud’s other books as well. So what have you learned about yourself so far？ Joy： Hmm……that I'll never have insomnia again. Mike： Why’s that？ Joy： Because I look forward to the exciting dreams I have every night. Mike： You mean you were dreaming about me before we even met？ Mike and Joy walk towards the exit. Joy ： Mike， it was great meeting you. But I have to go. Mike： Now？ So soon？ I mean， we just met， didn't we？ Can you at least give me your phone number？ J oy： It was nice， wasn’t it？ Just remember， “In little time a host of joys to bind，3 and keep our souls in one eternal4 pant.” Joy waves goodbye and walks away. Mike： What was that all about？ Host of joys？ Souls in one eternal pant？ Mike goes to the information desk.

　　Mike： Are you familiar with poetry？ Clerk： I love poetry. Mike： Do you know the line “In little time a host of joys to bind”？

　　Clerk： I think that's from “To John Hamilton Reynolds，” by John Keats. Try our literature section over there. Mike finds a book of Keats’ poems on the poetry shelf. Mike： Hey， here's another note！ People say that drinking from this magical lake will give you eternal youth.

　　Dear Mike， Nice going！ You passed the third test. Call me tomorrow ；-） at 0922-934-56X And what does the X stand for？ It's the same as the month I was born.Remember？ Joy

　　迈可和裘伊仍在表演艺术书架前谈天。

　　迈可：除了惊悚小说和蓝调音乐，你还喜欢什么呢？ 裘伊：我喜欢心理学！弗洛依德写的一本书是我的最爱，我带你去看。 迈可和裘伊走到人文学科区，裘伊把《梦的解析》递给迈可看。 迈可：哇！这也是我最喜欢的书之一呢！你真的读完整本书了吗？ 裘伊：当然啰！而且我还写下“梦的日记”，把我每晚做的梦都写在上面。 迈可：那倒是个不错的主意。不过你若真的要了解自己的潜意识，弗洛依德的其他书籍也是必读的。那么你目前对自己有多少了解呢？ 裘伊：嗯……我想自己再也不会失眠了。 迈可：为什么？ 裘伊：因为我每晚都可期待有个好梦。 迈可：你是说即使我们还没见面前，你就梦到我啰？ 迈可和裘伊往出口的方向走。

　　裘伊：迈可，真高兴见到你，可是我必须走了。 迈可：现在吗？这么快就要走？我是说，我们不是才刚见面吗？可不可以至少把你的电话号码留给我？ 裘伊：相识真好，不是吗？只要记得：“刹那间无限的欢欣凝聚一方，将我们的灵魂存在一场不朽的悸动中。” 裘伊挥手道别离开。　 迈可：她究竟在说些什么？无限的欢欣？灵魂存在一场不朽的悸动中？

　　迈可走到询问台。 迈可：你对诗熟不熟呢？ 店员：我很喜欢诗啊。 迈可：那你知不知道这句：“刹那间无限的欢欣凝聚一方”？ 店员：我想这是出自济慈的诗《致约翰。汉密尔顿。雷诺兹》。去那边的文学区找找看吧。 迈可在诗集书架上找到一本《济慈诗选》。 迈可：嘿，又看到另一张纸条了！ 亲爱的迈可： 你真行！你已通过第三关考验了。明天打电话给我。我的电话号码是0922-934-56X.至于X代表什么呢？就是我出生的月份啰，还记得吗？裘伊
