65.Tit for Tat
65.一报还一报
An acquaintance of mine stopped at a local tavern after work and spent the evening there. When’ he arrived home around ten o'clock, his wife was sitting at the kitchen table,waiting. Instead of questioning or scolding him,however , she simply asked pleasantly if he wanted dinner. He was not interested in eating,and went off to bed.
我的一个熟人在一次下班后,把车停在了一个小饭馆前,在那儿他消磨可一个晚上。大约十点钟他才回到家。他的妻子坐在厨房的桌旁等他。她没有追问他什么,也没有责怪他,只是和蔼地问他想不想吃点什么。他已经对晚餐不感兴趣,于是,就上床睡觉了。
At 3:30 a. m.,the alarm went off. He scrambled out of bed and turned on the light. When he saw the time, he roared at his wife,demanding an explanation.
大约在凌晨三点半的时候,闹钟突然响了。他赶紧掀开了被子,打开了灯。当他看清了时问时,他冲妻子大声地吼叫为什么。
"Well,"she replied placidly, "if it took you four-hours to get home from work,I figured it would take you four hours to get back to work,and I didn't want you to be late. "
妻子和气地说:“我想,假如你下班回家路止花了四个小时的话,你上班当然也需要花四个小时赶路了。我只是不想让你迟到。”
