832　You didn't miss a thing 你什么也没耽误

As in many homes on weekends, my wife and I faced the conflict of which was more important—the football games on television, or the dinner itself. To keep peace, I ate dinner with the rest of the family, and even lingered for some pleasant after-dinner conversation before retiring to the family room to turn on the game. Several minutes later, my wife came downstairs and graciously even brought a cold beer for me with her. She smiled, kissed me on the cheek and asked what the score was. I told her it was the end of the third quarter and that the score was still nothing to nothing. “See?” she said, continuing to smile, “You didn't miss a thing.”

和许多家庭的周末一样，我和太太也面临这样的争执：是看电视上的橄榄球比赛重要，还是吃饭重要。为了保持和平，我和家人一起吃饭，甚至还参与了一些饭后愉快的谈话。然后，我就退下来，到活动室里打开电视机。几分钟以后，我太太下楼来，甚至和蔼地给我拿来一瓶凉啤酒。她微笑着亲吻我的脸颊，问我比分是多少。我告诉她，现在第三局都打完了，比分还是零比零。她继续微笑着说：“瞧，你什么也没耽误。”
