幾個(gè)月以來(lái)，我一直在向丈夫暗示我需要一枚新的結(jié)婚戒指，因?yàn)槲覍?duì)黃金有點(diǎn)過(guò)敏。生日那天，我正在干園藝活時(shí)，丈夫問(wèn)我想要什么禮物。我舉起雙手說(shuō)：“嗯，你肯定看到了，我的兩手都是光光的?！?/p>

Later that evening I opened my present with enthusiasm. "Happy birthday," he said, as I unwrapped a new pair of gardening gloves.

那天晚上，我滿懷熱情地拆開(kāi)了丈夫送的禮物。“生日快樂(lè)!”他說(shuō)。我打開(kāi)一看：里面包著一雙園藝手套?！?/p>
