休息日
My husband was enjoying the day off from work and watched me scurry about the house.
丈夫正在過休息日，他看着我在屋子裏來回奔忙。
I picked up his dirty clothes, put away his work shoes, carried out his popcorn bowl from the previous night's football viewing, washed the breakfast dishes, wiped the coffee he'd spilled and ironed his shirts.
我撿起他在髒衣服，將他工作時穿的鞋子放到一邊，拿走前一天晚上他看橄欖球時放在旁邊放爆米花的碗，洗早餐的盤子，擦去他濺出的咖啡，熨他的'襯衣。
Seeing a thoughtful look on his lace, I wondered if he was beginning to realize just how much unnecessary work he created for me. Maybe he would offer to help. "A penny for your thoughts," I said.
看到他臉上若有所思的神情，我想他是不是開始意識到他給我添了許多不必要的麻煩，也許他還會幫幫忙呢!“給你一分錢，告訴我你在想什麼?”
"I was thinking," he replied, "that one of the things I like best about you is how you always find ways to keep yourself busy."
“我在想，”他回答道，“你總能找到辦法使自己忙個不停。這一點我很喜歡。”
