College Years
大学时光
College years were perhaps the fullest and happiest in Henry's life. He was supported by his aunt and uncle but spent very little time with them. His grades were average, and he was socially active. Summers were spent working, usually at a resort hotel where he followed the routine for college boys, waiting on tables, doing odd jobs, teaching daughters of well-to-do client how to sail or play tennis. Sexual contacts were frequent enough. Henry had a way of getting himself sexually involved with girls rather quickly, usually for only one or two night stands. He felt an intense need to be close to a woman and to be loved and taken care of by her. The sexual experience was one of the important ways in which he satisfied his need to feel close.
大学时光或许是亨利一生中最充实、最快乐的时期。他虽然由叔叔婶婶资助,但和他们相处的时间却很少。他的成绩中等,社交活动却很活跃。暑假时,他通常会去度假村酒店打工,按照大学生的常规做法,在那里端盘子、打零工、教有钱客户的女儿们如何航海或打网球。他的性经历相当丰富。亨利总能很快地和女孩们发生性关系,通常只是一夜情或两夜情。他内心强烈渴望与女性亲近,渴望得到她们的爱和照顾。性经历是他满足这种亲近需求的重要途径之一。
During his last year in college, Henry met his wife Sally. Sally was from an Italian Catholic family. She had led a rather sheltered life, had never lived anywhere but with her family, and was quite dependent on her parents. When he announced his intention of marrying her, there was a big flap from his aunt and uncle. They objected strongly to her Catholicism and raised all sorts of arguments about birth control. Even though the family felt strongly about it, Sally had no qualms about birth control. They finally married, but Henry's resentment and anger at his aunt and uncle were deep. They gave him plenty of bad advice, but little money or support. They remained critical of and hostile to Sally. Henry recalls that one day on the way to church his uncle made a crack to the effect that Sally's wearing a veil in church was hypocrisy. Henry was furious with his uncle, but felt that he couldn't say anything. At times his rage was so great that he just wanted to kill himself.
在大学最后一年,亨利遇到了他的妻子萨莉。萨莉来自一个意大利天主教家庭,她的生活一直受到很好的保护,从未离开过家人独自生活过,非常依赖父母。当他宣布打算娶萨莉时,他的叔叔婶婶大为震惊。他们强烈反对她的天主教信仰,并就节育问题提出了各种争执。尽管家人对此态度坚决,但萨莉对节育却毫无顾虑。他们最终结婚了,但亨利对叔叔婶婶的怨恨和愤怒却很深。他们给了他很多糟糕的建议,却几乎没有提供金钱或支持。他们一直对萨莉持批评态度,并充满敌意。亨利回忆说,有一天在去教堂的路上,他叔叔开玩笑说萨莉在教堂戴面纱是虚伪的。亨利对叔叔非常愤怒,但却觉得自己无话可说。有时他的怒气如此之大,以至于他只想自杀。
