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.
By saying "I could afford to be generous. "(third paragraph from the bottom)the man implied that he ______.
选项
A、wouldn’t care too much if he stayed single
B、could take her to a better place than Paris
C、was rich enough to support his wife
D、didn’t care what she thought about his proposal
答案
A
解析
该句话的前一句“I’m figuring I’m off the hook for this marriage thing for at least another eight years.”表明作者此时对求婚的结果已不抱任何希望,且觉得自己至少还得花 8年才有可能成功。说明作者此句话是在安慰自己继续保持单身没有关系。故选A。
