“是一個由4個字母組成的單詞促使我為你買下了這件禮物。”他溫柔地說。
“哦，太浪漫了，”我輕聲說道，“是Love（愛）？”
“不是的，”他答道，“是Sale（甩賣）。”
The Thrill Is Gone
About two weeks before our fifth anniversary； my husband asked me what I would likefor a gift。 I told him I wanted something impractical and romantic。
On our anniversary night； he presented me with a lovely gold bracelet。
“A little four…letter word made me get this for you；” he said softly。
“Oh； how sweet；” I whispered。“L…O…V…E？”
“No。” he replied。 “S…A…L…E。”

花樣年華 第二章（1）
靶 子
我的廚藝一直以來都是全家人取笑的物件。一天晚上，由於晚餐準備得太快，弄得廚房裡全是煙霧，連煙霧探查器也響了起來。雖然我的兩個孩子在學校裡都接受過防火安全訓練，然而他們對警報卻毫無反應。我很生氣，怒氣衝衝地在房間裡到處找他們。
我在浴室裡找到了正在洗手的他們。我的聲音大過了警報聲，要求他們辨別那種聲音。
“是煙霧探查器。”他們不約而同地回答。
“你們知道那種聲音代表什麼嗎？”我問道。
“當然，”大一點的孩子回答，“晚飯已經好了。”
Target
My cooking has always been the target of family jokes。 One evening； as I prepared dinner a bit too quickly； the kitchen filled with smoke and the smoke detector went off。 Although both of my children had received fire…safety training at school； they did not respond to the alarm。 Annoyed； I stormed through the house in search of them。
I found them in the bathroom； washing their hands。 Over the loud buzzing of the smoke alarm； I asked them to identify the sound。
“It’s the smoke detector；” they replied in unison。
“Do you know what that sound means？” I demanded。
“Sure；” my oldest replied。 “Dinner’s ready。”
