语料库Para. 1①I was addressing a small gathering in a suburban Virginia living room—a women's group that had invited men to join them.②Throughout the evening, one man had been particularly talkative, frequently offering ideas and anecdotes, while his wife sat silently beside him on the couch.③Toward the end of the evening, I commented that women frequently complain that their husbands don't talk to them. ④This man quickly nodded in agreement. ⑤He gestured toward his wife and said,“She's the talker in our family.”⑥The room burst into laughter;the man looked puzzled and hurt.⑦“It's true,”he explained. ⑧“When I come home from work I have nothing to say. ⑨If she didn't keep the conversation going, we'd spend the whole evening in silence.”
