||1: He was born grinning, it seemed. ||2: He was certainly born small, and never made much progress after. ||3: The littlest in his gang at school, the tiny cabin boy aboard the Maindy Court sailing for Argentina, almost the scrawniest in his regiment in India in the 1930s. ||4: Everyone’s mascot, jester, dogsbody , hoping to foil the punches by rolling over and begging for a pat on the head. ||5: He was five-foot-four on a good day, easily dwarfed by bosses, army sergeants, aristocrats or rivals for the willowy girls who strolled into his life. ||6: When his second wife walked out on him in 1968 he couldn’t help remarking, bitterly, that she had left him for someone handsomer and taller.

||1:诺曼似乎是咧嘴笑着出生的。||2:他出生时一定也很小，而且后来也从未见长大了多少。||3:在学校时，他是小伙伴中最小的。上世纪30年代，他是印度驶向阿根廷的美蒂宫廷号船上的一个小不点式的船舱侍应生，几乎是侍应生中瘦得皮包骨最严重的一个。||4:他成了船上每一个人的吉祥物、供人逗乐者、打杂工，希望通过打滚并乞人拍其头来彰显自己重要。||5:他过上一段好日子的时候，身高1米64，一位身材纤长的姑娘进入了他的生活。他的身高在上司、军士、贵族或对手面前，明显相形见绌。||6:1968年，他的第二位妻子遗弃了他，他痛不自禁地诉说，她离开他是因为某个人比他更英俊更高大。
