Hassle Man
麻烦男子
Everything's a hassle, he thought. The smallest thing is a hassle. Taking the cap off the toothpaste tube is a hassle. Squeezing the toothpaste tube is a hassle. Putting the toothpaste on the toothbrush is a hassle. Brushing his teeth is a hassle. Life is just one hassle after another. "You always exaggerate," his wife said. "Not everything is a hassle." He thought about that. Could his wife be right? Are some things not a hassle? How about eating food? That's not a hassle. How about taking a hot shower? That's not a hassle. How about reading? How about watching a good TV program? How about sleeping? He couldn't think of anything else. Eating, showering, reading, watching TV, and sleeping aren't a hassle. "Okay, I won't exaggerate," he said to his wife. "I won't say that everything is a hassle. I'll say that everything except five things is a hassle!"
他总觉得所有的事情都非常麻烦。小事情也非常麻烦。打开牙膏帽是件烦人的事。挤牙膏很麻烦。将牙膏放在牙刷上是一件琐事。刷牙很麻烦。生活就是一个麻烦接着另一个麻烦。他的妻子说：“你总是把事情想得那么夸张，并不是所有的事情都这么麻烦。”他想了想。他的妻子说得对吗？有些事情是不是没这么繁琐？比如说吃饭？这件事不麻烦。好比如洗热水澡？这不麻烦。阅读？看一个好的电视节目？睡觉？他想不到其他不繁琐的事情了。吃饭、洗澡、阅读、看电视、睡觉不繁琐。他对妻子说：“好的，我不会小题大做了，我不会说所有事情都这么麻烦了。我会说除了五件事情以外，其他的都麻烦！”
