They are liberated My husband, a brawny-looking man, had injured his back andcould barely walk. On the way to doctor, we stopped for gas at aself-serve station dragged my eight-months-pregnant form out frombehind the steering wheel and began pumping. Two men nearby looked at my husband, who was resting in thecar, and then glanced at me. “Well,” I heard one say to the other,“They are liberated, you know.” ——Ellen McQuarrie (Laveen, Ariz.) 她们被解放了 我丈夫看起来是个很强壮的男人,他的背部受了伤,几乎不能走路。在去看医生的路上,我们在自助站加油,我拖着八个月大的身孕从方向盘后面出来,开始加油。 附近有两个男人看着当时正在车里休息的我丈夫,然后看了我一眼。“哎,”我听见一个对另一个说,“你知道,她们被解放了。” ——爱伦. 迈考利(Laveen ,亚利桑那州) |
