　　读故事

　　Donna slapped her husband during an argument, but when he went to the door, she ran over to him, held his sleeve and begged him not to go.He brushed her away and slammed the door behind him.The slam woke up the baby and it started to cry, so Donna took up the slight baby and fed it some milk.She happened to look at herself in the mirror and thought, if she became slender again, her husband would love her as before.So she tried to slim her figure by eating only one slice of bread each day.As a result, she felt unwell and let the housework slide.However, she wasn't getting any slimmer, and her husband slighted her for that.She could tell this by the slight in his voice when he talked to her, which made her feel like giving him another slap.The slide in stock prices also worried them.One day she sliced the ham for sandwiches and sat down to watch the financial news, and found that stock price continued to slide, so she thought, why not eat all the ham.

　　唐娜在一次争吵中掴了丈夫一个耳光，可是当他往外走时，她又跑过去抓住他的袖子，求他不要离开，他一把推开她，砰地把门关上了。这砰的一声把宝宝吵醒了，他开始大哭起来。于是唐娜抱起瘦弱的宝宝喂了些奶给他吃。她无意中看到了镜子中的自己，心想如果她再变苗条，丈夫一定会像从前那样爱她。于是她想尽办法使自己变苗条，每天只吃一小薄片面包。结果她觉得浑身无力，家务活就只能听其自然了。然而，她并没有变得更苗条，丈夫也因此而轻视她，从他说话的语气中她可以感觉到他的藐视，她恨不得再朝他的脸上掴一巴掌。股票价格的下滑也让他们心烦。，她切好了做三明治的火腿，坐下来看财经新闻，发现股票价格还在继续下滑，所以她想，干吗不把火腿都吃了。
