English Original
Robert is twenty-six and works at a middle school. Two and a half years ago, he was hospitalized and met a beautiful nurse named Ann. She took care of him, they became friends, fell in love, and married about six months later.
Robert enjoys reading. When he returns home, he often reads newspapers or books while Ann prepares dinner in the kitchen. When the meat is roasted, she asks her husband to cut it in two. They then have supper together, followed by a walk or a trip to the cinema, enjoying each other's company.
One day, after planting trees with his students on a mountain, Robert returned home exhausted and hungry. That evening, Ann roasted a piece of chicken and asked him to cut it. This time, Robert kept the larger piece for himself and gave the smaller one to his wife.
"I remember, dear," Ann said with a smile. "When we were first married, you always gave me the larger piece. Why do you give me the smaller one now?"
Robert felt embarrassed and was at a loss for words. After a moment's thought, he replied, "You cook better now than before."
中文翻译
罗伯特二十六岁，在一所中学工作。两年半前，他因病住院，在那里遇到了一位名叫安的美丽护士。她悉心照料他，两人成为朋友，坠入爱河，并于大约六个月后结婚。
罗伯特喜欢阅读。他回家后，常常阅读报纸或书籍，而安则在厨房准备晚餐。肉烤好后，她会请丈夫将其切成两半。然后他们共进晚餐，之后或散步或去看电影，享受彼此的陪伴。
一天，罗伯特和学生们在山上植树后，疲惫不堪、饥肠辘辘地回到家。那天晚上，安烤了一块鸡肉，让他来切。这次，罗伯特把大块的留给了自己，把小块的给了妻子。
"我记得，亲爱的，"安微笑着说。"我们刚结婚时，你总是把大块的给我。现在为什么给我小的呢？"
罗伯特感到尴尬，一时语塞。他想了想，回答道："你的厨艺现在比以前好多了。"
