For years my wedding ring has done its job. It has led me not into temptation. It has reminded my husband numerous times at parties that it's time to go home. It has been a source of relief to a dinner companion. It has been a status symbol in the maternity ward.

  • -- Erma Bombeck 邦贝克

多年来,我的结婚戒指一直发挥着它的作用。它没有使我陷入诱惑。它在聚会上多次提醒我丈夫该回家了。这对晚餐同伴来说是一种解脱。它已经成为产科病房的身份象征。
