Break A Promise
I am more athlitically inclined than my husband and frequently engage in biki- ng,canoeing and other strenuous activities.
Several years ago,when my husband was 60,he came inside after a day of yard- work and collapsed into his favorite easy chair,bemoaning the aches and pains of his advancing age.
Attempting to comfort him,I reminded him that when we were newlyweds,we had looked forward to growing old together.
"Yes,"hereplied,"but you haven't kept your end of the bargain."
不守诺言
由于我经常参加一些激烈的运动,比如骑自行车、划独木舟等等,因此我的身体要比我丈夫强壮许多。
几年前,已是60岁的丈夫在院子里干了一天活之后,回到家便一头扎进了他最喜欢的安乐椅中,开始哀叹上了年纪是多么的不便与痛苦。
我试图安慰安慰弛,于是提醒他我们新婚时,曾在一起憧憬着变老的事情。
“是呀!”他回应道,“可你并没有遵守诺言啊。”

经验教训
在韩国汉城的全浦国际机场,尽管我想安全出境,但出境处的金属探测器却响了起来。我掏空了口袋,警铃仍响个不停。最后我想起来我的鞋底上有一部分是金属。我指了指我的鞋,安检人员示意我把鞋子脱下来。我照办之后,很顺利地通过了安检。
就在我穿鞋的时候,我环视了一下,发现我身后的人们站成一排,个个手里提着鞋子。
