Question 1: What are you thinking about?
The proper answer to this, of course, is: “I’m sorry if I’ve been pensive, dear. I was just reflecting on what a warm, wonderful, thoughtful, caring, intelligent woman you are, and how lucky I am to have met you.”
This response obviously bears no resemblance to the true answer, which most likely is one of the following:
a. Baseball.
b. Football.
c. How fat you are.
d. How much prettier she is than you.
e. How I would spend the insurance money if you died.
(Perhaps the best response to this question was offered by Al Bundy, who once told Peg, “If I wanted you to know what I was thinking, I would be talking to you!”)
问题一:你在想什么?
合适的回答当然是:“亲爱的真不好意思,前面没有注意听你说话。我在想自己能够遇到这么一个热心体贴、善解人意、温柔善良、聪明伶俐的女人是多么的幸运啊!”
这个回答很显然一点都不靠谱,实情往往是:
a.棒球
b.足球
c.你有多胖
d.她比你漂亮多少
e.如果你死了,我要怎么花保险理赔金
(也许最佳的回答是Al Bundy告诉Peg的那句:“如果我想让你知道我在想什么,我就会对你说了啊!”)
