英文原文
As a speech pathologist,
I often ask patients to tell me a personal story
in order to get them to open up.
Here's one man's tale:
"My friend wanted a boat more than anything.
His wife kept refusing, but he bought one anyway.
'I'll tell you what,' he told her.
'In the spirit of compromise, why don't you name the boat?'
Being a good sport, she accepted.
And when her husband went to the dock for his maiden voyage,
this is the name he saw painted on the side: For Sale. "
