My husband was enjoying the day off from work and watched me scurry¹ about the house.   I picked up his dirty clothes, put away his work shoes, carried out his popcorn² bowl from the previous night's football viewing，washed the breakfast dishes, wiped the coffee he'd spilled and ironed his shirts. Seeing a thoughtful³ look on his face, 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.   "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."   丈夫今天放假，就在家看著我忙家務活兒。   我撿起他的臟衣服，收拾好他的皮鞋，拿走前一天晚上他看橄欖球時吃過爆米花的碗，洗了盛早餐的盤子，擦干凈他濺出來的咖啡，熨好了他的襯衫?？吹剿樕下冻龀了嫉谋砬?，我不知道他是不是意識到他給我帶來了多少不必要做的家務活。也許他會來幫忙。“你在呆呆的尋思什么呢？“我說。   “我正在想，“他回答，“我最喜歡你的一點是你總是不讓自己閑著。”
