Lynne and Crystal are your typical high school girls–and by typical, I mean in a world that never existed outside of Sweet Valley High or Bayside High School–who only seem to care about boys, make-up, and which girl can get more boys to ask her out. The first chapter literally spends several paragraphs on Crystal waxing poetic about her new favorite lipstick shade called Kiss of Death, natch. We even have Crystal bemoaning to her “ugly” sister at one point that she only had 1 boy ask her out that week. Crystal Thomas is the one of the prettiest, most popular girls in school and her best friend Lynne, the flirtier one, is also really pretty and popular. Crystal’s older sister Melinda looks exactly like Crystal (she might be the Liz Wakefield of the two), but she wears glasses and likes to read boring, old books like Pride and Prejudice and Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre on an old armchair in the attic and probably wears paint-splattered jumpers and her hair in a ponytail, so who cares about her. She’s weird. Crystal gets all the boys while Melinda sits home alone on Saturday nights with her dumbass moldy books for company, so Crystal’s real competition when it comes to boys is her best friend Lynne. The friendly rivalry heats up when an oh-so-hot boy who has a bodacious bod moves in next door to Crystal–and their bedrooms are on the same floor and they can see each other through their windows, zo-em-gee– and the two girls make a bet on who gets asked out by the hot boy first. Melinda is in on the bet, too, but it’s not like Scott will even notice her because she wears glasses and likes to read books, so dream on, girlfriend. Oh, sweetie, you’re pretty. You really are. You just need to fix yourself up a little. Shut up, Crystal and Lynne.

Otherwise, three years hence I along with other MEPs will be joining Mr Almunia or some other Commissioner in bemoaning the fact that the situation has become worse and worse.

Andernfalls werden ich und andere Kollegen in drei Jahren hier mit dem Kommissar Almunia oder einem anderen Kommissar beklagen, dass die Situation wieder noch schlimmer geworden ist.

But there is no point in bemoaning the fact that the ozone hole has increased if we do not take appropriate measures to prevent it.

Es hilft aber überhaupt nicht, zu lamentieren, daß es zu einer Vergrößerung des Ozonlochs gekommen ist, wenn wir nicht die entsprechenden Maßnahmen ergreifen.

And so we go back to our discussions and to bemoaning this dreadful state of affairs.

Und wieder fangen wir an zu diskutieren und darüber zu lamentieren, wie furchtbar doch dieses Geschehen ist.

These figures must be borne in mind if we are to put a stop to this unfortunate trend, instead of just bemoaning the situation.

Man muß sie im Auge haben, um Fehlentwicklungen ein Ende zu bereiten, nicht um sich mit Lamento aufzuhalten.
