8. Too much pink （太多粉红色）

·Pink can be a dead giveaway girly color. Someone who wears exclusively pink, however, is trying way too hard to be girly. If the armor is pink, the hair is pink, and even the Epic Mount is pink; you probably have a poseur on your hands.
虽然粉红色绝对是女孩子才会用的颜色，但是，如果有个人穿得一身粉，反而让人觉得她不大可能是女孩子。衣服是粉红色，头发是粉红色，连史诗坐骑都是粉红色，你八成是碰到人妖了。

·"Or a 12-year-old girl in Mississippi," warns Christie, "who you probably shouldn't be hitting on, anyway."
“或者一个12岁的密西西比姑娘，”Christie提醒道，“指不定你还会碰上谁呢。”

·Because women are more detail-oriented than men, they tend not to over-do a single color (unless she's a Red Mage and then all bets are off).
因为女人比男人更注重细节，她们不大可能滥用某一种颜色（除非她是一个红魔法师，而且她的所有bets都离开了。）（cool8jay注：Red Mage，红魔法师，最终幻想XI中的一种职业。）

7. *Tee hee（*嘻嘻呵呵*）

·Uttering this amongst friends is acceptable. Typing it out and sending it over team-chat, however, is grounds for forfeiting the uterus. Aside from being frivolous, it's just plain dumb. Girl gamers, while sometimes bubbly, are not airheads. So if you catch a girl spouting such things as *tee hee* or "He's super-über-cute!" you've likely caught a faker or a gamer's seventh grade sister. Look for acceptable girl chat like *glomp* (to hug), *squee* (an expression of delight), or "OMG" (a unisex term). These will vouch a real girl or a very well-studied pretender, while "*Tee hee* This dungeon is hard! Oh poo! I'm out of potions!" is a red flag.
朋友之间这么说没什么。而在队伍聊天中这样说，会让人怀疑你是不是子宫被摘除了。这不仅让人觉得你轻佻，甚至是愚蠢。虽然女性玩家有时候是比较活蹦乱跳的，但她们不是傻子。所以，如果你碰到一个女性角色，张口闭口就嘻嘻呵呵，或者“他超级无敌可爱！”不离口，那么你很可能是碰到人妖，或者是哪个玩家的七年级小妹妹。*glomp*（抱抱），*squee*（快乐的表情），或者“OMG我的天啊”（男女皆宜的词），这些可以担保她是个真的女孩，或者她是精心策划的骗子，不过，“*嘻嘻呵呵*，这个副本很难！噢，完啦！药瓶没啦！”则是一个危险信号。

6. Stripper Names 放荡的名字

·HoneyStar or PuffyPant might be the names of My-Little-Ponies on occasion - but if you spot such screen names online, it's a dead giveaway of someone who is a) not a girl and/or b) someone who desperately aspires to pole dance. Like overdoing the color pink, someone with an incredibly girly name is probably someone trying way too hard to pass for a girl. Though, girls are creative and will come up with elaborate names. Thus, if you meet a character named Moodshadow or Ethelenreid (anything vaguely Tolkien), it probably is a girl. If her name is SweetHoneyB13, probably not.
HoneyStar（蜜星）或者PuffyPant（帕妃小裤）在有些场合下跟小种马意思差不多——但是如果你在网上碰到这种名字，这意味着1）他不是女孩而且/或者2）他很渴望跳钢管舞。跟过分使用粉红色一个道理，取个过于女性化的名字无疑是告诉别人自己不是女孩。毕竟，女孩子都很有创造力，会给自己精心取一个好名字。因此，如果你碰到一个叫Moodshadow或者Ethelenreid（或者其他托尔金式的名字）的角色，她很可能是一个女孩。如果你碰到一个SweetHoneyB13（甜心宝贝B13），很可能不是。

5. She has to go and "wash her hair," "do her nails," etc.（她要走了，去“洗头发”“做指甲”等等。）

·A real girl does not need to tell you why she's getting offline. If she does tell you, it will almost never be something related to a girly activity; both because it's none of your business and because girls can paint their nails and do their make up while they play. After all, anyone who's good at an MMO is a natural multi-tasker.真正的女孩不需要告诉你她下线的原因。这不像一个女孩子该干的事情。因为这跟你没关系，而且女孩子一边玩游戏一边涂指甲、化妆也不是什么困难事。话说回来，网游玩得好的，都是天生的多线程机器。

4. Dancing（跳舞）
·Call it feminism, call it whatever you want; a girl does not make her avatar dance repeatedly or upon request from a total stranger. It's not so much that most female avatar dances in MMOs are degrading; dancing is just tedious and distracting (there has yet to be an MMO where you gain XP for dancing). Ultimately, if you've seen one race's unique dance; you've seen it a hundred times. Particularly in World of Warcraft, with the Dark Elf female dance being a blatant pole dance set to match the Gnome's male version of it - who hasn't gotten sick of that?
你要说这是女权主义，或者别的什么，随便好了。女孩子不会老是跳个不停，也不会听一个完全陌生的人的话，说跳就跳。这并不是因为网游里面女性的舞蹈很丢人；只是因为跳舞很无聊，让人分心（现在已经有了靠跳舞得经验的网游了）。如果你见过某个种族的独特舞姿，你至少是见过上百次吧。尤其是在魔兽世界里面，暗夜精灵女性显眼的钢管舞，还有侏儒的男性版本钢管舞——谁还不对这些生厌？

3. She never complains（她从不抱怨）

·Ask any girl how her day was and you'll almost never hear "fine" or "okay" unless a) she's unhappy with you, b) she doesn't want your attention, or c) she's not a girl. Things happen during her days which aren't of monumental importance: an annoying classmate, a stoplight that took too long, or a cracked nail. Most of these things are boring at best, and she knows it. But as a rule, if you ask a girl to tell you something about her day, she's probably going to tell you everything about her day. And if you didn't want to know, then why ask?
随便问一个女孩，她今天过得如何，你几乎不可能听到“不错”或者“还好”，除非1）她跟你合不来，2）她不想引起你的注意，或者3）她不是女孩。没有什么特别重要的事情：某个讨厌的同学，交通信号灯半天不变，或者是一个破了的指甲。绝大多数事情不过是有一点烦人，她自己也知道。但是，作为一个定律，如果你问一个女孩她遇到些什么事，他很可能会告诉你所有事。既然你不想知道，还问她干什么？

2. She's violent because it's "that time of the month"（她很暴力，因为“每个月的那个时候到了”）
·Girls are always violent, on every day of the month. Anyone citing this as a reason (or justification) for corpse-camping, kill-stealing, or just being a rude player all around has probably never had their Aunt Flo in town and never will.
女孩子都很暴力，每个月的每一天都很暴力。但是，把这个作为守尸体，枪怪，处处惹人厌的理由的人，大概是不会有大姨妈来的，而且永远不会来。

1. Girls don't need to ask（女孩不会找人要这要那）

·There is a certain type of girl who always asks for favors and feels entitled to special treatment by the male populace. This girl is manipulative and very good at getting what she wants. This girl does not play MMOs, or if she does,  she's in the minority.
有一类女孩，总是喜欢找人帮忙，还觉得男性玩家应该对她们特殊照顾。这种女孩操纵欲很强，而且非常擅于得到她想要的。这类女孩不怎么玩网游，如果玩的话，也在少数。

Wrap-Up（总结）

·A girl gamer - a real one, not a Booth Babe or someone's girlfriend trying to bond through an MMO - can get what she needs on her own. When approached by a guy offering up loot or advice, most girls will take it (and say thank you if she's a lady), but in the back of her mind, this thought is playing: "What? Like I need your help?"
女性玩家——真正的女性，不是展会宝贝，也不是某人通过网游结识的女朋友——能得到她自己想要的东西。当遇到别人提供战利品或者建议的时候，大多数女孩会接受（如果她是个淑女，还会道谢），但是她脑子里其实想的是：“什么？我长得像需要你帮助的么？”
