I’d been living with my wife for eight years and one night. Morn says, "I guess you guys are never going to get married. I mean, you’ve been through jail together, you’re living together, but…, oh, forget it."
"Oh, well," I said," put it like that and I’ll marry your daughter tomorrow."
Actually, I don’t know what we were waiting for, except that for a guy it’s never the right time to get married. I’ m also suspicious of any two people who don’t struggle with that decision. Part of my problem was that I was still lusting in my heart after other ladies. But somehow I knew that I wasn’t going to find another woman remotely as great as my soon-to-be wife. It’s a good thing my mother-in-law finally spoke up.
I finally gathered my courage one day when we were having a picnic, and popped the question. I also gave my wife a big tourist pamphlet about Switzerland. I wasn’t taking any chances.
She said no.
It killed me. I felt sick to my stomach. I lost my appetite. Our dog just stared at me, thinking, "If you’re not going to eat your lunch, I will." Finally, I said, "But the Switzerland trip is yours if you say yes."
"Switzerland , "she said, "is filled with precise, humorless people."
"Maybe I should have suggested Paris?"
For a minute it seemed as if my change in travel plans would rate a solid "maybe". But she said no again. When we woke up the next morning, she told me that she’d slept on my proposal. "I guess I was a little rude to you last night," she explained. Meanwhile, I’m figuring I’m off the hook for this marriage thing for at least another eight years. I could afford to be generous.
"I asked, you said no. It’s okay," I said. I might have looked a little too relieved because later that day she gave me a little box. Inside was a gold watch. On the back was inscribed. "Yes. I’ve reconsidered."
I liked the watch, so I did the right thing.
Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
选项
A、The man didn’t know what he was waiting for.
B、No couples don’ t need to struggle with the decision for marriage.
C、The man appreciated it that his mother-in-law brought forward the issue of marriage.
D、He had no lust in other ladies.
答案
D
解析
从第三段中“I don’t know what we were waiting for”(我不知道我们到底是在等待什么)可以知道A是正确的,“I’m also suspicious of any two people who don’t struggle with that decision.”(我怀疑没有一对情侣不是在与结婚问题作斗争的)说明作者认为所有的情侣都有跟自己类似的情况,所以B也是正确的。而“It’s a good thing my mother-in-law finally spoke up.”则表明作者认为他的岳母主动把结婚这个话题提出来是对他有好处的,所以C也是正确的。故选D。
