333　Do not refer to my wife as spouse 不要把我老婆称作配偶

At the Internal Revenue Service no officer was immune from letters of complaint written by disgruntled taxpayers. One time an irate farmer wrote to my supervisor: “Please tell Officer McDonald I do not owe this tax. Furthermore, do not refer to my wife as a ‘spouse’.”

在国税局工作的官员都难免会收到不满的纳税人写来的投诉信。有一次，一个愤怒的农场主写信给我的上司说：“请告诉麦克唐纳先生，我并不欠这份税。再则，不要把我老婆称作‘配偶’。”
