每天读一篇英语小故事：The Argument (2)
Walt finally called Lulu at 6:55 p.m. “You were right, honey,” he said.“The music is not very good. So let’s not go to the play, if that’s all right
with you.” That was great, she said.
“So, let’s go to a movie,” she suggested.
“A movie? When?”
“Right now!” she said. She was all dressed up, and she was ready to go
somewhere! But he wasn’t. He had already decided to stay in. "How about a movie
tomorrow?" he asked.
“Tomorrow!?” she yelled over the phone. She was furious. Did he have any
idea what a difficult day she had had, trying to finish all her realty work so
that she would be ready by 7 p.m.? And then he had the nerve to call her up at
6:55 to tell her to forget it? Forget it?! Had he thought about calling her up
earlier? Had he thought about asking her for her opinion before deciding
everything on his own? “Of course not!” she said as she answered her own
question. This was just one more example, she raged on, of how he had absolutely
no respect for her, and she was tired of it. “We’re through!” she shouted just
before hanging up.
