原版英文小故事 47. Two Babies

（单词翻译）

She wanted to have two babies—one boy and one girl. She wanted to have the boy first and the girl a year later². That way they could³ grow up together. He said⁴ that was⁵ okay⁶ with him. She said, "What do you mean, 'okay'? It shouldn't be 'okay' with you. You should say that you want two babies just as¹ much as I do. If you don't want two babies as much as I do, then forget it."

He asked, "Forget it? You mean that we won't have two babies unless⁷ I really want to have two babies?"

She said, "Yes, that's right. If you don't really want two babies, then we won't have two babies."

"Okay," he said, "then let's not have two babies."

"Are you sure about that?" she asked.

He nodded⁸ his head, "Yes, I'm sure. We can't afford⁹ even¹⁰ one baby."

"Okay," she said. "Goodbye."

"What do you mean, 'goodbye'?" he asked.

She told him she was going¹¹ to leave him. She was going to find a man who wanted to have two babies with her. He told her that he was just kidding—of course¹² he really wanted to have two babies with her.

"Too late," she said. "You already¹³ told me how you really feel."
