Armansky’s star rearcher was a pale, anorexic(患厌食症的人) young woman who had hair as short as a small wire, and a pierced(穿刺的) no and eyebrows. She had a wasp(黄蜂) tattoo(纹身) about an inch long on her neck, a tattooed circle around her left arm and another around her left ankle. On tho occasions when she had been wearing a tank top, Armansky also saw that she had a dragon tattoo on her left shoulder blade. She was a natural redhead, but she dyed her hair black. She looked as though she had just emerged from a week⁃long orgy(狂欢) with a gang of hard rockers.
She did not in fact have an eating disorder, Armansky was sure of that. On the contrary, she emed to consume every kind of junk food. She had simply been born thin, with slender bones that made her look girlish and fine⁃limbed with small hands, narrow wrists, and childlike breasts. She was twenty⁃four, but she sometimes looked fourteen.
