每天读一篇英语小故事：If You Really Love Me…
It was only a ’93 Lincoln, but he loved it. Not a ding on it. Only 75,000miles, even though it was 14 years old. The leather seats were like new, as was
the headliner. All the bells and whistles worked, including the cruise control
and the power seats and mirrors. It even got 14 miles per gallon. What was not
to love?
She hated it. She hated it because she thought he loved his car more than
he loved her. “We can’t go anywhere because all you do is worry about what will
happen to your car,” she complained. “The last time we went shopping, after an
hour you stopped talking and listening to me. You had that long face. I knew
what you were thinking about.”
“What was I thinking about?” he asked.
“You were thinking about your Lincoln!” She continued, “When we went out to
the parking lot, you walked all around it to check for fresh dings. Then, when
you saw none, you unlocked the car and got in. As usual, you didn’t open the
door for me because you were so busy adjusting the airflow out of the dashboard
vents.”
“I just do that to make you feel comfortable,” he said.
“If you really want to make me comfortable,” she said, “sell this car.”
