You Cook Better Now than Before
你的厨艺比以前更好
Robert is twenty-six and works in a middle school. Two and a half years ago he was ill in hospital and there he knew a beautiful nerse called Ann. The girl took care of him and he made friends with her. They loved each other. About six months later they married. Robert likes reading. When he comes home, he always reads some newspapers or books. Ann begins to cook in the kitchen. And when the meat is roasted, she always tells her husband to cut it in two. Then they begin have supper together. After supper they go out for a walk, or they go to the cinema. And they enjoy themselves.
罗伯特26岁时在一个中学工作。两年半之前，他生病住院，在那里他认识了一个漂亮的护士叫安。女孩照顾他，后来他们成为朋友了。他们彼此深爱着对方。六个月后他们结婚了。罗伯特喜欢读书。他回家后，总会读一些报纸或书籍。安在厨房开始做饭。当肉烤好后，她总是告诉她丈夫把它切成两半。然后他们开始一起吃晚饭。晚饭后，他们出去散步，或去电影院看电影。他们过得很愉快。
One day Robert planted trees with his students. They climed up a mountain and worked hard. When he got home, he felt hungry. His wife roasted a piece of chicken that evening and told him to cut it. This time he chose a bigger piece of chicken for himself and gave her the smaller one. “I remember, dear,”Ann said with a smile. “When we married, you always gave me the bigger meat. Why do you give me the smaller meat to me now?” Robert felt shy and didn’t know what to say. He thought for a while and said,“You cook better now than before.”
有一天，罗伯特和他的学生们一起植树。他们爬上了山，辛勤的栽种。当他回到家时，他感到很饿。他的妻子那天晚上烤了一块鸡肉，告诉他切两片。这次他选择了更大的一块鸡肉，给了她一个比较小的。“我记得，亲爱的，”安笑着说。“我们结婚的时候，你总是给我更大的肉。为什么你今天给我的小肉呢？“罗伯特感到很害羞，不知道说什么。他想了一会儿，说，“你的厨艺比以前更好了。”
